  1. i have 27, 32, 35, 36, 38, 41, 44, 46, and 63. i'm in WA, but i can post them over if you like.
  2. damn straight! kristian got me mine over a year ago now... seems to be a common UPGRADE, skyline -> legnum.
  3. i think they look better on this car though...
  4. nice 26 brad. black wrinkle looks good!
  5. ...why does it have number plates on it?
  6. when you sending some way out west? my leggy has gone 12 months without an ICI sticker. nice rims lee.
  7. group a was a group of racing for modified touring cars, but was phased out as gary mentioned, and in australia was replaced by the 5L v8 supercars, and 2L super touring cars. edit... yeah, what ash said, everyone basically went their seperate ways, and we ended up with supertaxi's. i'd still have one, cant go past that v8 note.
  8. uhh.. if you read 6 posts back, you'll find your answer...
  9. i can vouch for this, my old 33 headlights went crappy as they all do, used the PlastX on them, and they came up like literally new. even ScratchX will work if you have that.
  10. the alternator is about 100-120A, so you would want an equal sized fuse.
  11. i'm not saying that its not responsive, for what it is its very responsive.. but there is always going to be lag, regardless of how small it is.
  12. the topic in general is debatable, but even my twin turbo v6 with the worlds smallest turbos has nothing on a v8's response.
  13. yes i do actually... i think you will struggle to find any turbocharged car that has the response of a V8...
  14. are you serious? you honestly think mines GTR is going to have better response than a track setup V8? lol
  15. it's not an RB20DE..... ...it's an RB20E!!!!!
  16. it's for the wastegate actuator/boost controller.
  17. neither front or rear drive shaft move when the car is lowered, both the rear diff and gearbox are in fixed postions, the same as the transfer case and front diff. the shafts from the diff's to the hubs are the ones that move when the car is lowered, but i dont think a plate or extension bolt is going to do anything, you will still chew out uni-joints, etc if its too low.
  18. i'm in!
  19. i had N1 vents in my R33's GTR front bar.. i don't like the look of them at all. these are the vents he is refering too..
  20. i had my rims (now on kylies stagea) powder coated gloss black, cost me $40 a rim, and came out perfect! i'll likely be getting kylies old 18's (that are on my legnum ) powder coated a gunmetal grey too. painting has more options, however i'm lead to believe powder coating is a stronger coating.
  21. get a 2002 legnum.
  22. other way round.. 33 gtr front shocks are alright for a stagea, and it takes the heaver front end into account. the rear is the same as a 33 gts-t, bar the top hats, but i wouldnt use them... the stagea is heavier, and has ALOT more rear overhang than that of an R33 gts-t... remember torque == force x distance.. so the extra weight, and being further from the fulcrum point makes the 33 gts-t shocks a bad idea. go buy a set of coilovers to suit a stagea, or have the 33 ones re-valved to suit, or buy sydneykids set... just dont put shocks designed for a smaller, lighter car into it.
  23. you do lose a little space, stagea is 940mm between the strut towers, legnum is 890mm, and the interior space is a bit smaller, you notice it in the 2 front footwells the most. aftermarket support is there, RHDjapan sell a shiteload of gears, and alot of manufacturers like tein, fujitsubo, pro shop iida, make parts for them. cheaper parts is one downside.. but then it depends what you're after and want to do, a VR4 dump/front pipe setup is cheaper than that for a RB25/26, and a cat back exhaust is much the same. factory 5 goodness.. do you mean a 5spd gearbox? because you can get a 5spd tiptronic, or a 5spd manual (VR4 manual's are alot more common that stagea manuals too...) the better interior is in the eye of the beer-holder too.. personally i love my leather, carbon fibre, and recaro's over anything the stagea offers.. however there is also tan/black leather, straight black leather, suede, black/red cloth, and S1 stagea style cloth too. in the end, its up to what you like.. a smaller nimble little car with plenty of torque that will run low 14's out of the box, or a larger car with more room, more available parts and support and a different look. i would have bought a stagea myself if kylie didnt already have one.. now we just have a sexy black S1 rs-4 stag, and a sexy super vr-4 legnum in the driveway. i guess the real question is... would you prefer people to say "nice volvo!" OR "nice magna!"
  24. indeed i have. just a suggestion is all, not many people know about them.. and they are in the same market as the stagea. hell, i probably would have bought a stagea if kylie didnt already have one.
