Its Coming

Hmm, if I'm doing 2.2K RPM going up a hill and floor it, being in 4th is not where I want to be! Surely you would have dropped it down to 3rd.. :-)

Oooops missed this, I was so involved in reading about Marc's new S2.

I did say "lean on it" not "floor it". You know......just a little extra throttle to hold speed going up the hill, not enough for it to kick down, but enough for it to make boost. The torque converter stays locked up, just 0.7 bar of boost and the turbo whines away.

I've actually got the numbers for when the torque converter will lock/unlock if you'd like me to post them.. But they are for the R34 M-AT box, which I'm not sure is in the Stagea - I suspect not for the series 1, and possibly for the series 2 (can anyone with a series 2 comment?)

Terminal,

I am just around the corner in Nettlefold St - Discount Tyre Service.  Just ring the tele No. in previous post to make sure I am at the shop.  You are more than welcome to come around. 18" arrive on Friday for the car.

Regards,

Marc

I went around to marc2's workshop today and we took a few pics of my S1 next to his S2. it's been hammering down with rain today, so the pics aren't as bright. he'll upload them later when he finishes. they looked really good next to each other.

Talk about a bit of pressure - will post as soon as I figure out how to upload. Off to the FAQ's for guidance.

O'kay,

There are a couple of pictures of 2 of the 3 Canberra based Stageas - and I think they ended up in my photo gallery. Then again they could have ended up anywhere. A pity Jay could not make it then we would have had a 100% attendance.

hate to tell you this :-), but there are no pictures - and I don't mean that in the same way that there is no spoon (at least you could see the spoon, even though it wasn't there..)...

Ahh, Marc and Term - sorry I couldn't make it. The rain totally fu*&$ed my day up. redered the wall in the morning then it started pi$$ing down Had to keep an eye on it all the day so the render wouldn't slide off the wall

How about we do another day soon and get a few good pic's ?

Oh, there is another one in Canberra down here in Tuggers. A red one But they aren't on SAU

There's also a dark green one i've seen around, he's contacted me before but i haven't heard much from him since

[ian]

how can someone own a skyline/stagea and not be on SAU... :-) You need to pull them over and tell them it's just not acceptable...

[marc2]

Damn - definately not in my photo gallery - but have been uploaded by me.

[marc2]

No problem Jay, a lousy day for photos anyway. I am sure there will be a better day for us all.

Marc

[Terminal]

I found them Marc, they were just in the general gallery section, not your personal gallery

[Jay95R33]

Looking good

[GoldZilla]

Nice pic, guys! Congrats on the new car Marc

Term, are those Voltec wheels on your S-1? Was wondering if they (or something very similar) would suit a Stagea, now I have my answer. Very nice indeed!

Cheers,

Nick T.
