Hey guys,

I would like to re-introduce myself to the ACT SAU peeps after a 4 year hiatus on anything Nissan.

I'm Karl, and have recently purchase a black 1999 RS4S Stagea. Back then, I used to drive a 'violet-ish' (?) R33 and sold it to someone in Northside.. and since then did the Toyota scene..

I live deep in the south, Banks, and have see a few skylines down here..

Pics to come..

Look forward to the banter.

Cheers.

Karl

Hey guys thought I would just share the positive experience i had with a panel beater here in Canberra.

I tip my hat off to Chris and his team at The Body Shop smash repairs in Geelong St, Fyshwick.

After being less than impressed with my insurance company with their lack of communication, I finally dropped off my Stagea with Chris on Monday morning and received a call on Thursday (yesterday) saying it was good to go at lunch.

The work needed was the scrape on the rear bumper (insurance) and the repair of the existing damage on the front lip. Chris mentioned there was previous work on the front which he tidied up, fixed the crack and stone chips and resprayed - all for a cash price too. He also included a quick clean and polish.. which seemed to go to waste as it decided to bucket down on the drive home.. mind you, if I wasn't babying the Stagea down every driveway and hump in the road I may have beat the rain.

I'll post pics tonight.

So there's my 2¢ on his shop.. I would recommended without hesitation.

    • Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.
    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
    • Aside from the fact it is likely fuel related if it is black, the symptoms otherwise sound like worn valve stem seals. Oil gets past the worn seals when the engine is off and burns when the engine starts. If it happens on deceleration while driving (puffs of white smoke) that is another valve stem seal symptom because oil gets sucked form the head into the combustion chamber under vacuum with the throttle closed. They can be replaced in the car if you have some way to keep the valves closed while working (eg compressed air into cylinders) but is much easier with head off.
    • Alright, fair enough. Expected as much. Possibly, yes. However the kit is apparently not including every single hose and it is out of stock too.
