Oh yeah and where are some good places to look for the conversion parts. Preferably in Brisbane but doesn't have to be.

Yeah well I'm thinking of just going with a whole GTST upgrade. Front and Rear. It seems (after reading so many posts here) that doing anything with the standard brakes is just too hard as far as finding parts goes. At least with a whole R33 GTST setup I'll have better preformance and easier replacment of pads / rotors. Has anyone here done this. And how much did it cost. I'm thinking R33 4 spot calipers front, 2 spot rear and matching rotors front and rear. Wether I go for slotted or not is a different matter depending on cost. Otherwise i'll upgrade rotors later. I'm assuming pads and rotors are going to be much easier to find this way. Also how easy to fit the whole setup. Thanks guys

And it looks like the flare is still on the passenger kick panel too....always wanted one of those

Hey all, i've recently picked up my stagea and its so sweet, only thing it needs is some attention to the brakes. the front pads are low (not seriously low but will need replacing soon). Well after a good blast up Mt Mee (for any of you here in brisbane) I noticed that stopping power wasn't as good as I'd like. i realise these things weigh in excess of 1650kg even if they don't feel like it. I would like to replace the rotors with DBA xdrilled and slotted definatley front and depending on price rear too (at least machine the rear) and then some preformance pads. what I need to know is are the stagea series 1 braking system the same as an R33 gtst or are they something different. Never owned a skyline before so i'm not sure. This will make getting the gear a lot easier than aksing people at stores. oh yeah and pads too, same as r33 ????? thanks for the help

yeah i just picked up my stagea and with all mods listed, ecu, boost control, suspension, stero, guages, turbo timer, body kit and so on i got 1k with rating 1 protection from Just Cars. But don't know what things are like with insurance in VIC. Go to www.justcarinsurance.com.au and get an online quote.

could be afm but could also be a knock sensor problem. had this problem on my old sr20det 180sx. it would just suddenly die down in power a lot, almost like the handbrake was on (that was what i thought the first time it happened). but it would stay this way until i turned the car off and on again. I would clean the afm, check your base ignition timing and check your ecu for any fault codes (reset it too). Just a couple of things to try before you take it to a mechanic. And just for murphys law sake check / replace your spark plugs, it would be more of a missing problem if these were at fault but u never know. I had just put in a new set of NGK plugs properly gapped and it ran like shit, put in irridiums and ran great.
