I bought a new headunit, pioneer one with USB and Bluetooth for $200 cost it was last years one. Pretty happy with that one

I also have a word of warning to ppl thinking of getting alloy radiators, I don't think they can be cleaned like conventional radiators. Mine has blocked up and now heats up on the highway or going uphill for too long :( fml

Lesson learned: ALWAYS get car parts delivered to work (dependant on work site of course).

Oh, and nice looking Stag! :)

Car is looking awesome dude, time for a new gf though? tongue.gif

thanks - it looks much nicer with the caps on and the front lip installed, but had to remove that - driveway entrance to the apartment is too steep and it scrapes.

next step will be vinyl wrap on the roof and mirrors, then detail the engine bay.

got maxima gas struts for the bonnet, and a radiator air guide to install this weekend.

Looks tough with those BBS; very nice.:thumbsup:

Time for G/f retraining.:whistling:

well, i decided to get stuck into my stagea exhaust once again,

i currently have a huge Jasma rear cannon AND a set of twin 3" blast pipes that i change between(jasma for long trips, blast pipes for fun)

But the car has been running the blast pipes for the last month or so and i have been getting sick of the massive drone at low revs.

I concocted a simple plan....make some bigger 3.5" blast pipes with hidden hot dogs.

Since i work at a Holden dealer i grabbed a couple of discarded VE SS hot dogs, these are 2.25" and are of high quality.

i bought a couple of short lengths of 3.5" pipe, and one larger length of 3".

Previously i have bought premade 2 into 1 collectors, but i figured i'd save some money and make my own

the 3.5" pipe was the exact same diameter as the hot dogs, which works well for stealthyness plan

i attached my homemade collectors, which still had to be trimmed up.

after a bit of smoothing with the angle grinder aand a flapper disc, they got a coat of heatproof black paint and were fitted up to my old rear section.

after running the car for a little while to bake the paint on i took it for a test run.

thecar sound exactly the same, maybe a bit depper, but my annoying drone is all but gone.

and it now pops bigger flames because my tailpipe area is retaining more heat :thumbsup:

You and your flames...

Looks great Robbie, you going to keep them on for the cruise?

definately, these ones have no more drone and a nice note, so they can stay on for good.

my jasma cannon is going to be relegated to the defect clearing section of the shed :whistling:

Note to self: Don't drive behind Robbie on the next cruise!

the stagea got a fresh sump full of oil this week, the new exhaust, some fresh tyres and a wheel align.

And i finally pulled the centre of my dash apart to fix some rattles and re-route my ipod and av connectors to the centre console.

It turns out that the little tray under the lid is the perfect size for an iphone or ipod :thumbsup:

On the hunt for an immobiliser. And desperate to get it on ASAP due to the recent mass car jacking that took place here in Canberra the other nite. FFFUUUUUU!

I got one of these from an SDU group buy from the US:

http://www.yulontech....asp?infoid=122

It provides location if the car is moved out of a set area...(will send you an sms message with its location) or you can phone it to ask for its location. You can immobilise the car remotely with your cell phone etc etc

was on the Monash Fwy today behind a truck and something fell off it...I had no chance to dodge and it went under the car.

Made some loudass bangs.

Now when I accelerate hard my car makes clicky/rattling noises...great >_<

Checked under the car and now I have 3 bigass dents in the exhaust system...farrrk.

Dropped the oil and topped up with Motul. As usual the filter was on too tight by the previous guy who did it (RVO auto) and I had do the whole stab the filter with the screw driver thing...made a huge mess...arrgh.

also raised the rear suspension by a few cm...hopefully that'll minimise anymore scrapage...

    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer. 
    • Hi all,   suspect this is a common problem. I think I missed 4th gear a bit when I shifted down from 5th. Now it grinds into 4th with the downshift. Is it the sychro and what do I need to replace when I open the gear box up?    added a photo of my new titanium intake I just installed and built. 👍💪
