What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[pipster11]

Installed my whiteline front swaybar today

managed to pick it up for $175 s/h with the hd links on it too

with the old one out I was a little disappointed that they seemed to be the same diameter

but the mounting points for the links are closer to the pivot (less lever arm therefore stiffer bar) and the whiteline bar is solid where i guess the stock one is hollow

It was actually really easy to change, i didn't even jack the car up, just moved it onto the curved part of our driveway so the nose was off the ground a bit

yet to go for a drive but will report back when i do

Dale, are you still selling rear bars? i'd be keen to get one of those too now i have a little bit of spare cash

Got bored this arvo so I threw one of these in my car

But unfortunately I've imposed a ban on driving my car until some other parts arrive, which will hopefully be this week - and THEN I can find out if it makes any difference

Don't you have an emanage that needs to go in?

And yes, I'm aware of the irony of that comment.

Put your car on a dyno in case the afrs and timing are all wrong. Presumably its not the tunable type?

Its not tunable, but I doubt the afrs will be too far out. No doubt it also still runs a closed loop system, monitoring and self-tuning via the O2 sensor.

Sooooo your the one that got that! I thought it went to LEKS! Bastard!

haha so thats who I was bidding against Fortunately, another quality part has come to Australia rather than Russia!

About bloody time Dunc!

I've been busy

I cant do an Emanage install in 20 minutes

and yes, severe irony noted. You got that intake done yet? *ducks*

Funny you should mention that. Goes in tomorrow.

Also noticed now that the informeter is back in injectors are at 95%... Fuel reg is going in.

Spoken to the tuner too. Booked out for a month.

I haven't had my fcon as long as you've had your emanage

So you're booked for 1 months time then?

I haven't had my fcon as long as you've had your emanage

If you take out the 9 months I was completely without my car, it's probably equal

Not booked in, waiting for confirmation from him.

You had 9 months of car off road to install emanage?

if only! You can still see my car in the crash repairers yard on google maps I cant wait till they update that tile one over summer.

Moar low achieved thanks to Scotty's angle grinder...

And Freeway-Dolphin wing installed...

[iamhe77]

Better, but does the front look too high now?

[ironpaw]

Yeah I've wondered about that. It probably is...

Are our front wheel arches bigger then the rear ones?

Might jack up the rear by a bit...

You took the car to a Volvo service centre.....

[ironpaw]

LOL, You should see the looks I get from that place....

R33 gtr strut brace should fit seeing my 260rs has one fitted from factory! Looks exactly the same as my mates on his gtr

Is anyone able to verify this 100%?

Thinking I'll get the HKS brace for my car, but don't want to spend that much only to find it won't fit...

Alternatively, if anyone has a R33 GTR on the Gold Coast, and was willing to spend a few minutes testing...

The strut brace on my 260RS is a spot on match for the one on a mates 33 GTR, I've had his in my engine bay to check this for myself and I'm going to order a 33 brace soon.

Put the hdi ebx back on.... Have lost boost on stall launch but when the boost does come on its f$&king scary.

My head down for another tune then out to eastern creek for a run.

Thanks for that; much appreciated!

Its not tunable, but I doubt the afrs will be too far out. No doubt it also still runs a closed loop system, monitoring and self-tuning via the O2 sensor.

The only self tuning the ecu does via the O2 sensor is at idle and cruise. As soon as you put your foot down the O2 sensor has no influence whatever so you really need to know what your afrs are at WOT and a check on the timing would be good as well.

[scotty nm35]

The M35 ecu's definitely seem to self tune to a much higher load than the earlier cars Bob, and anything after 2004 should have a factory wideband sensor allowing the ecu full control of the map + or - 10%.

I agree though, it's a very smart idea to run a separate wideband for safety and nothing beats a tuned standalone if it's available.
