Lol trust me u dun want pics of my slowpoke on there. The joys of an N/A 2.0L. Its not pic worthy till there's at least an RB25DET in there. Maybe i'll send u the million pics from meets n cruises we've had in melb (over 32mb worth), once I get back from Syd on Thursday nite.

PS: does any1 know where there's safe parkin around Chinatown? like near UTS?

Thanks Knat for your compliment of my car. Unfortunately all I've done to it cosmeticaly is to replace the side indicators with the clear nismo ones and added a chrome cup to the boost guage. The previous owner did the rest.

Once uni exams are complete i'll get the car tinted for both looks and sun protection - I turned completely red on the cruise to the gong (and so I hear did Brendan).

s2 eyelids might be another addition as a prototype is being molded from my car.

I'm planning Spokey Dokies and streamers for my handle bars.... :bahaha:

Nah.. Just planning to drive it for a while the way it is. It's going to be nice just having a car, so i'm not going to send it somewhere else and have to part with it again for at least a few weeks yet...

Might take it down to Hills in a few weeks for a service...

A service ??? its done 33,000km and been off the road for 5-6wks. They would have / should have serviced it when repairing it, just drive the thing :D

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
