ChrisB Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Too bad Mark. A neighbor of mine in the UK used to have an old Cedric Wagon. You know you will get a lot more backpackers in a wagon than a sedan Get a Stagea.... Shame the Axis 350S cant be imported. I want one. Are you still in Melbourne? Shout out if you want those headlight sockets or they will be thrown out.

Howaitonaito Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Na mate dont need them anymore. All sorted. But i do wanna say a massive thanks to scotty for helping me with the motor swap. It was a massive gamble and with all gambles therei the chance of failure and that whay happened. So the motorswap didnt happen and we kept the car NA. Scotty worked wonders and the car is amazing, cleaned plenum and intake and heaps of other things. Big thanks. Staying in room 35 was awesome. It was also good meeting some of the VIC stag owners and their whips. So there is not much i can do performance wise so im just going to enjoy it how it is now. Now wearing a blue (BW5) aero front and soon some new wheels Pics up soon!

scotty nm35 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We went through about 20 cans of degreaser/carb cleaner, as well as 4 odd litres of concentrated liquid degreaser. Damn those DD engines are dirty inside. Glad the det's don't have egr recirculation. Hands were almost eaten away by the degreasers, just a normal day for me. lol.

Howaitonaito Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 So i have 2/3 aero on the car. Buying a sedan rear bumper with aero lip on in QX1 - winning!. Problem is it can only go by sea unless i wanna sell butt hole to DHL and let the rape me on price. Rest will be painted to match along with the mirror bases painted in a glossy piano black finish to match the B-pillars and also the foglight blanks and bumper mesh in the same black. After the Rays wheels i bought off same will be refurbed.

Howaitonaito Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ok so the VQ25DET engine swap didn't go as planned. Partly because of my lack of research and comparing cars and their differences. So attempt number two is in the early stages of thoughts/planning. I'm keeping this close to my chest. This will be a long painful road.

Howaitonaito Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Spoke to an engineer today. He said it was good to go. Engine swap is going ahead. Some people know what I'm doing but for others it's a wait. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395458-mv35-stagline/page/29/#findComment-7254564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaitonaito Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Once I have the donor car it's down hill from there which is pretty common. The conversion kit from the states includes custom sump, engine mounts, transmission mounts shifter plate and a single piece tailshaft. If that's not a clue I don't know what is. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395458-mv35-stagline/page/29/#findComment-7254999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
