Can I get price as well please

Thanks lads already onto Kudos motorsport site. But its the full kit but i might have to do as i have been waiting long enough already.

Hi All Looking for a VRS kit for 1999 Stagea Neo engine ( RB25DET). And yes i have tried Nissan and they want me to wait 4 weeks..... hence i need parts now.

PM sent

interresting that you say that there are pilot bearings for man and auto box's

Old thread but 2 cents worth as below: ummmm very interesting as i am suspecting the same thing with my car now (5 speed Manual 1999 C34 stagea RS4S). I only get a very nosiy werrring bearing sound sound when clutch pedel is depressed. It makes the noise if the car is moving or not. Hence it cant be gear box as the car is stationary ( not rolling or moving)??? The only thing turning is the thrust bearing or the pilot bearing !!! The funny thing is it is a little intermittent, as sometimes it doesnt make any noise and shifting is all good. But when it does make the noise it makes the actaul gear change very notchy in all gears. ( Almost like you are trying to change gears with out uisng the clutch). Hence i come to the conclusion that the pilot bearing is still grabbing ( Partly ceased) onto the input shaft and making the shaft turn hence gear changes are a little harder in all gears. If it was the gear box that was damaged it would difficult to change gear all the time!!! By the way i changed the oil in the box and still have the same issue - no rubbish came out of the old oil ( I was looking for metal as bearing might have colapsed in box but no such luck) Conclusion: Looks like i will be pulling the box ( bloody heavy looking thing) out to fix a bearing that will only cost what $20 :angry: :angry: :angry: And if i get some other prick to do it then it will probably cost what $800 in labour for a box out and in job to replace the $20 pilot bearing. is that 2 cents worth or $820.02 worth

My 2 cents worth I tow my Mazda Rx3 race car with my Stagea all the time ( 1999 RS4S Manual). I specifically brought the stagea to do the job becasue of the following: Towing capablity, easly tow's down to the Phillip Island every couple of months for race meeting from melbourne. Fulling loaded with race car, spare wheels, tools, race gear, jerry cans etc... Station wagon so i can load it up with all sort of stuff when needed. Great for family car when dropping kids of to school ( kids love the sun roof in the back). Go's well when you boot it and you can easly just cruise along as well. Looks better than a Commodore or Falcon anyday for a tow car !!! PS: And yes i tow in 5th gear easly doing 110k's per/hr off boost and still get resonable towing ltr/ per klms but you have to realistic here and not expect to get 15ltr per/km when pulling 1.5 tonne on the back. When i want to overtake i pull out sink the boot .... she come's on boost and away we go easliy overtakes. The Stagea is stable driving with the load but it still comes down to common sense when you load trailer on the back. You have to balance the weight on the trailer and not have it over hanging and wieghing down the back of the car. ( Again this is common sense no matter what car you are towing with when pulling large loads) !!! See you at the island

Hi all I am selling my old tow car. click on ebay link for details. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190909597833?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Thanks Rotaron.

Recommendations for smash repairs for C34 stagea's. People who can get parts and know what they are doing.? People who when you talk to them do say "STAGEA hummmm what is that "? Smash repairs who know imports? Any advise ? pitfalls? Dickhead's to avoid? SouthEast suburbs Vic.

Did the new Walbro fuel pump on the weekend... Now the new injectors and Dyno tune to come. One set at a time.

+1 on the O2 sensor...( just did mine) I noticed a big difference just in city driving.

New oxy sensor installed and fuel pump ordered.... Walbro 255ltr should do the job. Should have that installed over the weekend. Hope to get some better fuel economy with the new Oxy sensor. I have notice it was better already with nearly 200 k's of city driving already and not quite half a tank used.... So it is better than what i had previously per tank full.

Hey Andrew It is just a matter of time... need to get fuel pump sorted plus i have another race meeting coming up and need to work on the race car as well. Plus i have plenty of job's to do at home with renovations. If i could work 24 hrs a day then I would but need to sleep at some stage.

The turbo just has a different whine to it! , It sounds great and has a deeper puff when you lift off from the blow off valve. Nothing to write home about here but i could notice the difference from one turbo to the other easily.

By the way.... i have been driving the car gently and am being mindful not to just give it a boot full until i get it all Dyno tuned.

Well i be telling the truth when i say that i haven't had a chance to get it Dyno'd.... Just been to busy. racing my other car and plenty of work and home project on the go. I have got the boost set at stock levels and it drives great.... Stagea towed my race car to the island no problem last weekend. Also got my self some injectors and a new oxy sensor as well. Still need to get the fuel pump as i havent had a chance to get that one sorted yet . Then it is off to get it Dyno'd... hopefully in the next couple of weeks. It all comes down to time. :wacko: :wacko:

U have pm

New High flow turbo went in on the weekend.. All running well now. Have to baby it until i get the pump and injectors sorted out then get it Dyno tuned. I gave it a light load squirt around the block with no issues's. Certainly sounds different when it spools up...but turbo still seems nice and responsive... Time will tell when i get it all dyno'd :yes:

Where is your show room in Moorabbin?

Gaskits came today... ready to go for weekend install. need pump and injectors to suit now
