UPDATE! spoke to ESP last weekend, they will be doing the work and have made some reccomendations. ditching the power fc for a vipec, $3000 supply fit tune. upgrade injectors now, ordered from DeatschWerks in the states, our dollar is awesome right now! sticking with the GT3076 on standard manifold. remaining work to block and assembling with parts except timing belt, approx $1000. no cams later, no afm later (map sensor with vipec) so basically more money now but none later..... so i gota sell some shit i got laying around, scrape a few grand which is suprisingly going well! and its all done in one hit. also picked up a cooler from a mate for $100 barely used. wheels are in motion, just gotta decide on a colour theme for the engine bay....... D.

good to hear you got something finally! just a quick note too, pulling attesa fuse wont work in R33/34 GTR or ANY stagea. that trick only works in the R32 which has a differently controlled system. the front will still get power and i have been told it can also do damage. only safe way to disable 4wd is to remove the front driveshaft (4 bolts) D.

will still take rear flares if you buy it back. D.

hey man, sorry to hear about the car..... hope you find the people who took it and have the pleasure of removing their fingernails one at a time. then get to kick them. hard. now i hate to be a vulture... but, is there any chance you still have those flairs laying around? im still pretty keen on a rear set... pm me if you do, now, later, whenever. D.

new or used? would prefer new but if the price is right..... D.

ill be happy with that for now, then save some more money, maybe do some things on some of the other dust collecting projects i have then go for stage 2. anyway, sofar, a 3076r .82 sounds like the go, internal gate on standard manifold. best places to buy at the moment anyone? D.

can i get a shipping quote please, canberra 2911 D.

i was going to do a full ground up build and even bought a sump adaptor but then i found the rips block at about half its usual price. i bought it off a guy who planned to put it in his gtr but never got around to it so it just got stored in his shop. its never been used, has everything done to drop an RB26 head on and chuck it in a gtr. so all i have to do to it is the mods to run vct, assemble and drop into my car which in the long run, will save me quite a bit. i was a bit hesitant about the stock internals but seeing what they can handle in the rips cars, i decided that if it was good enough for them, its more than enough for anything ill ever do to my car. on the manifold, id never considered using the stock one but i dont see why not. for now anyway. only question is, will it be the limiting factor in this equation or will the standard injectors be holding me back first? and where should i be looking for this spacer to make my turbo fit? for info: im also fitting a front facing plenum and a decent rising rate fpr. for the turbo, would i be better off getting a gt35 something with the smaller housing for now and upgrade to a bigger housing later if required? or will a gt30 something suit fine now and later? i like the idea of future proofing with the larger turbo but as i said, im not chasing massive power figures. next step is likely to be cams, afm and injectors (and manifold if i dont do it now) and at the moment im not really planning anything further. i have other cars in the build for stupid power. next question is - internal or external gate?? would an external setup be better or would internal be enough? internal now with stock manifold and run external with new manifold or stay internal? or external now and later? id like to avoid the extra cost if possible but at the same time i dont want to skimp on quality here. if external is the go, what do people reccomend? D.

ok so im about to build an RB30 for my stagea, need some advice.... engine is a NEO 25 head on a RIPS built 4WD block. car will pretty much be a daily drive, mainly after the torque as stags are pretty heavy.... so, i need a turbo, turbo manifold and head gasket (that i can think of right now...) keeping stock injectors and afm for now, will upgrade at a later date when i do cams and a few other things. what turbo would suit me? dont want overkill, just a nice responsive daily with a bit of punch if i need it. i also want it to be good enough for when i do upgrade injectors and stuff later but again, im not chasing huge power figures. also need a manifold to suit said turbo, NEO and non-NEO are the same yeah? looking for a good quality low mount manifold, no cheap shit but doesnt have to be the most expensive thing out there. headgasket - NEO head, keeping VCT, RIPS block with "hand selected" stock internals. what would be best? what compression would it be running? oh yeh, also need a decent EBC... any help would be awesome! D.

if you'll seperate, let me know how much for the jim berry clutch including postage to canberra 2911 D.

showed up today, cheers! D.

is the gearbox still running the standard R34 pull type clutch or is it push like an rb30? D.

super keen on clutch, as long as its definatly for an R34. what power is it built to handle? have cash, need postage to 2911 let me know D.

so ive just found this from a guy who just did a manual conversion on his stagea: "Clutch line - 650mm Long with banjo bolt on one end and jam nut on other." he used an R34 slave and master, rs4s runs an R34/GTR pull clutch so im going to have a stab at an R34. EDIT: i am retarded, my housemate has an R34 GTT and it only just occurred to me that i should compare them. same same. R34 GTT please. D.

i am retarded. my housemate has an R34 GTT and it only just occurred to me that i should compare them. same same. D.

looking at one of these as i just got the same braided brake lines...... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/He...id-t334947.html problem is, manufacturer has no idea about stags and doesnt know what line would fit. has anyone used a skyline clutch line?? if so, what model fits?? is anyone in a position to test for me?? D.

ill have a look at it, if i get a chance i might even pull it off. still keen as if we can figure out what fits D.

ill take one, i have a series 2 stagea. similar box to an R33 gtr, should be the same i assume?? i can measure if you need it...... pm me if you do D.

my car has the exact same issue, i just happened to have a spare stagea (wreck) to cut the same section out. still havent talked to anyone about getting it put in but i should probably get around to it soon..... D.

i have a stagea exhaust i could loan you if you need it for compliance/roadworthy.......... D.

pics of manifold? D.

havent fitted them yet but that was the intention, yes. D.

ill take a set, C34 stagea with R34 GTT calipers D.
