Hi every one, first time post, long time lurker.....

I'm from N.Z and have had our Stagea about 4 months.

2001 RB25de, 25x rear wheel drive, non turbo, standard except that the last owner changed her over to wasted spark.

fully serviced and well looked after

Haven't had any problems as yet, except as i was coming up the Bombay hills the other night the engine warning light came on for a minute, it when off again before i stopped to have a look, oil water plugs....

Now in the light of day i have had another good look over.

all i can find is that the two plugs under the power steering fluid reservoir look as though they have been getting hot.

i pulled one apart and its full of white goo. I'm assuming that it was white electrical grease. gave it a good clean with contact cleaner.

Just wont to know what these two plugs are for?

I would post pics but er.... have to figure that one out later....

They are two pugs attached to the passenger side fount guard in the engine bay under the power steering reservoir?

any help appreciated.

O.K so an over reaction to the plugs being melted.

They are just REALLY covered in baked on kack!

Given them a really good clean and put them back together.

Where the Kack has come from, i don't know, as the rest of the engine and bay it is spotless.

I will have to go out and get some water proof electrical grade grease. Any body have any preferences?

And of course, still wont to know what these two plugs are going to,

The third plug on that piece of loom, goes to what looks like a o2 seser on the exhaust.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
