  3. I live in theodore so you might see me driving around south side a fair bit,
  4. The compression are: 1 155 2 155 3 155 4 120 5 155 6 160 The reason i mention is a new engine is that if im replacing it anyway, why not put something better in? I intend to keep this car for a while, so im not really keen to try my luck buying another car.
  5. Hey all, so an update. I took it to AutoTech in Hume to get it looked over, some minor leaks (coolant and gearbox), front bushes and a bit of rust beginning to appear in the top of the strut towers. However that's not the bad news, the bad news is that cyl4 has a compression issue, that they told me will eventually kill the engine, unless it is rebuilt. I got rough quoted 7k for a rebuild, which was a bit of a shock, esp given its an 11k car. I spoke to a mechanic friend of mine and some others and they suggested swapping in the RB26 engine, instead of getting this one fixed. So i was wondering how hard that will be to do? im guessing it will be relatively easy as the Stageas came with them in some models (Autech), but appear to have little else changed (5 speed gear box still etc) I was thinking that id also like to swap the front bar for the R34 GTR front, similar to this: So i was thinking about getting a Half/Front cut, since then i get the front bar, side fenders, bonnet (though i have been told the stagea one should fit) as well as the cluster and wiring harness. I have been struggling to find a place selling one in aus though, anyone know a place selling one, or could find one? Has anyone got any experience with this engine swap, and do you guys reckon it will be worth it? Thanks
  6. Hey Guys, So i bought a 2000 Stagea RSFourS (WC34 ), the last one in Canberra, and am loving it! But with all cars, age has run it's course on a few bits of the car and some stuff needs fixing. so i was looking for a bit of advice, any you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. the major issue is the suspension, its cactus, the fronts are leaking and need replacing, and i was thinking of getting coil overs. the research i have done suggests i have fork type suspension so i was thinking of getting these http://justjap.com/b...-type-3116.html Has anyone used these before, or have advice on a better choice? One of the other issues i have is that the drivers side mirror (mirrors are electric) at speeds above 90 or in high winds it begins to move and unset itself. It appears to be the actual bodywork bit of the mirror, not the actual reflective mirror bit, as trying to move it with the electronic controller doesn't work. ​Which means i have to wind down the window and move it manually with my hand, has anyone had this sort of issue before? or know why it is happening or how to fix it? Thanks guys, if anyone has any other tips or knows mechanics in Canberra they recommend, id really appreciate it. (I attached some pics for those interested)
  7. Thanks for the replies, ill ask in the sub forum and see if i can find out more.
