  1. have you looked at legnum's?
  2. THEY DONT WORK. stagea's use R33 GTR fronts, R33 GTS-T rears. and the rears are different rates anyway, so dont do it.
  3. i did the timing belt on my girlfriends stag on the weekend, had it done and dusted in about 2 hours. few tips, when you take the radiator out, as the remove the transmission fluid hoses from the bottom, you can quickly plug them up with 2 bolts (something about 8-10mm thick should be fine) so you dont lose any fluid.. although, if your fluid hasn't been done in a while, it might be a good idea to drain that first. taking off the harmonic balancer without a rattle gun is possible... there are 2 ways i've used. first method is using a breaker bar, and a gimpy.. you can give it a few sharp hits and hopefully crack the bolt, or the second way is by using a length of rope (about a metre is all you need), you put the double loop over the balancer, and then tie the bare ends up to something such as the water pump, you need to make sure you have the rope around the balancer the right way though, you want it so as you try turn the bolt anti-clockwise, the rope will pull back on itself to the point where the bolt comes loose. here's a pic of how the rope should be looped, as i had no idea how to explain in! when fitting the belt, it's best if you have someone helping you. remove the old belt, and the idler/tensioner pulley, then put in the new idler and tensioner, then line up the 2 top marks on the new belt with the cam gear marks, at this point only have the belt about 2-3mm on, and get the other person to hold the belt on the gears, and the tensioner AWAY from the belt. go under the car and slide the belt onto the crank gear (makes it easier to see the markings from under the car, then come back up, and then slide the belt fully on, and release the tensioner onto the belt.. and voila, you basically just have to put everything back on after that.
  4. forgot to mention the rear cup holders
  5. breaker bar + 24mm (i think, something around 23-27mm anyway) socket, and stick it in the middle of the harmonic balancer until you get TDC
  6. actually, the top part of the timing belt cover can be removed with the harmonic balancer still attached, so its a good idea to make sure it all lines up at that point. i'm doing the timing belt on kylie's stag this weekend, yay!
  7. let me know if its another run with a stock box, i'll bring down the leggy with it's new cat back and chop ya.
  8. does it have the automatic tail gate? also after the drivers side sun visor and coin tray
  9. unless you bothered to look, this is skylines AUSTRALIA also, i never mentioned you would have problems, all i said was that it will not sit within stock guards, you would need a flare to LEGALLY conceal the wheel... why don't you go play with you "VIP friends" seeing as nobody seemed to miss you when you were gone.
  10. depends on what your definition of "fitting" is... will it sit within the guards, so that it is legal in Australia, no way in hell... my 17x9 +38 is close to flush, so a rim that sits 58mm further out would need about a 50mm flare to make it legal.
  11. legnum! mine ran a 14.2 down the 1/4 mile stock... my gf's stag with exhaust, pod, safc.. does 15's. fuel is about the same, my gf just got 468km to 46L in the legnum, so it could possibly be better than the stag... plus things lik factory recaro's, hi vis dash, and the amount of torque the V6 puts out, make it a very nice car
  12. what parts cant be powdercoated? obviously the pistons, should i just strip them down completely, and advise them not to coat the inside? i have a set of calipers here i want to fit to my legnum, and would like to get them powder coated. $10 sounds about right too, i had a set of rims powder coated at $40/rim.
  13. spotted a white S2, pulling a trailer on fwy sth at about 7:30m this morning, trailer said "balducci painting" i think? then a white 260RS (or atleast the top of a white stagea, with a 260RS wing, pass me on the other side of the concrete bollards on roe hwy at about 7pm tonight.
  14. could always paint a yellow stripe on the outside edge.
  15. kylies stag got 519km to the last tank, and regulary gets ~480
  16. these are the rims i'm selling.... (they come with centre caps)
  17. wonder why they changed them... and why they only used the second loom for a month...
  18. i've got an R33 clutch pedal + pedal box, brake pedal, clutch master cylinder, brake master cylinder and hand brake if you need it too! send me a pm if your interested.
  19. yes i do realised they are 2 different tyres, however in your title it says "Re01-r Supplier ?, or Adrenalin Potenza RE001 ?" so i was simply telling you a supplier for the Adrenalin Potenza RE001 like you asked. if you were after the RE01R instead, why did you ask about the other one?
  20. i've got some black 17's that would look good on a white R34, they came off my white R33. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sp...ms-t169052.html
  21. ring bridgestone as paul said, i was asking about 225/40R17 adrenalin potenza re001's the other day, and rockingham store had them in stock. they quoted me $300/tyre for that size
  22. this page explains what offset is, and will tell you what the difference is between 2 different rims. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
  23. price updated! willing to swap for URAS NS-01, Koya Drift tek, etc.. 17x9 +30/35, black preferably. open to other trades, but must be 17", 8-9" wide, and around +35 offset, to fit my leggy.
  24. i have one as well
  25. i have this wheel for sale, pm me if interested.
