I will be there Cheers Gary

Can you PM me a price for a Garrett GT35R turbo please as i am just about to but one... Cheers Gary

I'll come along can bring either the Stagea or the 180sx... or both Cheers Gary

Got mine done at Mercury. Very happy with the job. I got the whole i/c and everything done for around $950 i think. I got some other work done at the same time but i think that is what the i/c install cost. Cheers Gary

I too have heard a few dodgy things about ADD, like they are being sued by someone. I have had heaps of work done at Mercury Motorsport and I will continue to get all my work done there. The guys are great they know their stuff and they don't try and sell you bits you don't need. My 0.02 cents go to Mercury. Cheers Gary

Hey sk if you need a set of 32 GTR brakes can get you a set of 4 calipers for $300 + freight. A mate of mine has got heaps last time i spoke to him. Let me know. Cheers Gary And I am about to do that exact conversion next week when the cv boots arrive.

michaeljquinn, If you would like some information. I have had both Koni's and Bilstiens in the past. I have better results with Bilstiens, more reliability with Bilstiens. The last set of Koni's i had didn't last long before one of the struts started to leak and therefore lose preasure. Just my opinion, do withit what you will. Cheers Gary

Excellent,...

Looks good SK, How did everything go, did it improve the cars handling enough for you? I hope you are pleased with the results. Cheers Gary

bought my Nismo 33 GTR pump for $300 bucks. Cheers Gary

I agrre with SK, but your wheels should be all the same if the vehicle is 4wd. The damage is not to suspension but to the gearbox. Cheers Gary P.S. The wheels are coming off in a couple of days for the brake upgrade so i will try and measure the offset then....

i think tigerleo62 is right, i have 18x9's on my stagea and i have not had any rubbing problems at all. Cheers Gary

Have had a quick measure, they 'should' bolt straight on. Will be doing the conversion over the chrissy break. Cheers Gary

A set of 33 Brembo's will set you back about $1000. I have 33Gtst to go on mine with the upgraded rotors and pads. Then it should stop well. Maxx has the right idea. Cheers Gary

Well there you go... I'm a mushroom.

Prank, There is a slight difference in the top of the strut between GTR and Stagea. The GTR is a little bigger and doesn't quite fit in the tower, so I've been told. So from what I understand just use your top spring retainer from the Stagea. And if the rear struts are off a 33 GTR the bottom mount is completely different, so they won't fit at all unless you change the hub carrier to a GTR or 34GTT type. Cheers Gary

Thank you all for your wishes. The kids will be on the next cruise (hopefully) if they are up to it. Tessa loved the last MSC. Good idea Robocop... Thanks Will. OMFG Birty is back!!! When the hell did you go to Canada?

Well, my wife gave birth to our two baby girls on friday 17th dec. Both are in good health and so is mum. So now the back seat of the stagea looks a little different...... Kiddie seats from left to right. Tracy didn't agree to the names Hicas and Gready though, so we had to name the girls 'Taylor and Jemma' now I have to go and find a couple more GTR's for them to ride on like their big sister. Very Happy Cheers Gary

battery does get in the way. The 33 kit is different to the 34 kit for this reason. So a 34 kit might fit. Cheers Gary

Mercury Motorsport just fitted a FMIC to the stagea. Fits behind the grill without any choping into it. The only thing they had to do was take a little slice out of the re-enforcing bar. They did a damn good job. Cheers Gary

I have some bilstiens, front and rear. They are about 6 weeks old and travelled less than 2000 km for the pair they cost me nearly $800 if you want them you can have them for $500. The only reason I am not using them is because I got a really good deal on some coil overs and have put them in my car. Cheers Gary

I believe to put the 34 GTR front on youneed to unpick the radiator support panel and replace it with 34GTR and then modify guards and crap. Thought about doing it but me thinks it is too much stuffing around. Would rather make the damn thing go faster!!! Cheers Gary

After fitting the coil overs to my stagea I developed a 'shaking' in the front end under hard acceleration due to a clapped out castor arm bush, so I have ordered solid adjustable castor arms and then the sway bars and bushes for front and rear. A friend has done this to his stagea and the thing is like a rock, it handles better than most GTR's I've ever driven. And this is what I'm hoping for with my car. Will let you know how it turns out. Cheers Gary

Happy birthday to you both. Cheers Gary

Looks good Melv, I haven'tgot the stickers yet, hopefully they will arrive on monday. Cheers Gary
