What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[Jetwreck]

put the thermostat in my car......NOW my gearbox fluid gets up to temp in D!....f#$king awesome.

Thanks Alex for you help btw!

Oh and started planning the new project with Alex!

Put my thermostat in also.... Thanks for the help with getting those hoses on..

For reference we noticed that the I had in fact plumbed my trans cooler after the fluid went through the radiator trans cooler.

Also curious why you did it this way?

There was a discussion on this a while back and there were pros and cons either way, the main pro to placing it beforehand was the thermostat in the radiator getting the fluid up to temp if it was too cold... I guess if your trans cooler has a thermostat this isnt a consideration?

For my Stagea, I did my tax return today. Looks like Im going shopping! First up is intercooler methinks.

Did it in the most convenient location where the 2 lines run side by side to and from the trans cooler.

As we learn more about this car we realised that the standard set up has the output from the gear box going to the drivers side on the standard radiator. The Passenger side is the return lie to the transmission.

R33 manual conversion and soon getting new wheels and a paint job

Found my P0320 error today and fixed it...miss fire is gone on idle and the power is back up again!....19psi feels like 19psi not 10psi.....and I though I had just gotten used to the power!

Signed up to the SAUSA track day in November, and booked the day off work.

Now to fit the shift kit, brakes, shocks, trans cooler, emanage, etc before then...

[jasevr4]

Nice!

I forget, do you have a stock turbo Ryan? Turbo back exhaust?

[bigkevracer]

Yep, stock turbo and turbo back exhaust from AM performance.

I've been concentrating on handling and repairs first, before serious power upgrades.

Who's shift kit Ryan, who you getting to fit?

[zei20l]

well, while performing a dirt launch the AFM blew

drove to sydney from coffs harbour with no AFM. beat that!

economy was fantastic, considering you cant rev is over 2250rpm lol

[jasevr4]

Yeah likewise.

I'd really like to get away with retaining the stock turbo - I'd like it a bit quicker - nothing that I need to upgrade the turbo for. If my turbo does shit itself though, I'll feel like I'm getting jipped if I don't get it done properly. Here's hoping it lasts!

Gave the Stagea a bath & sealed my rims; makes brake dust so much easier to get off.

No leaks from the pan; happy chappy.

I got the trans go kit. Unless dad seriously cracks the shits, he will be fitting it with me doing the bitch jobs.

And Jase, I do plan to change the turbo eventually, but want to do all the supporting mods first. When it blows I don't see the point in replacing it with a stocker.

So what was the cause?

Got a bit carried away up there did you, Sebastian?

Do Tell, what product, how does it work etc etc. Will work for Matte black paint?

Lol, monkey see; monkey do...

Auto Glym Alloy Wheel Seal; Aerosol spray. Spray on, Wipe off. I thought it was just a "Mr Sheen" type deal; but it stays on for bloody ages.

Don't know how it would go on a Satin finish, I don't believe it would do any lasting damage. You're welcome to have a lash with mine if you like.
