  1. Today when picking up my kid at school (Mary Macgyllop) my wife saw a nice M35 (ups ,my stag is introubles now...I say she though it was nice...)
  2. Wow ,Tj how did it happen , I remember it was nearly nothing at last Show & Shine... and why do you have water there?
  3. Hi,everybody i'm in need of one wheel ,so I can get one that was damaged fixed , I'm looking after a 17" (mine is +30 offset) with a 235/45/17 tyre If it's in the berwick/Narre Warren area could be great(i'm getting to lazy...). Nothing fancy just one that will be around as spare...(the stagea is sensible at wheel size) Thanks,Freddy
  4. Just found it...any help will be welcome...
  5. xcllent job Cam ,recon should stick it on FYIs part ,very complete guide
  6. Or ,if you can't find an spot ...ask these blokes in Japan...
  7. Thanks,TJ, at the moment my stag is wearing 235/45/17 (BTW if you don't have a complete wheel ,don't worry is just for a couple of days,so don't want to cause any troubles...)
  8. Made my own ,out of fibreglass and vinil and put it between the pillar and the vent...looks a little bit rought but its hard to catch at first sight The line for the sensor comes trought the dash an the cover of the side panel
  9. Last week after discovering that had a screw on one wheel tooked it to the tyre shop and the employee F#$%D the holes in my Work S2R rim,so after the mannager recognised their fault ,he told me that he can send it to be repaired ... But it needs 2/3 days to be repaired...Does anybody in the narre warren/berwick and sourrounding areas have a 17" wheel that can borrow for a couple of days this week?my stagea (that I heared has isues about different size of wheels) is my daily drive so I really will appreciate any help...
  10. On monday after put some fuel in my stag ,I discovered an screw in one of my tyres so on wednesday to prevent the screw to go away and finish with a flat tyre in the middle of the freeway went to TYREPOWER in Berwick ,near where I work,after taking the wheel the "efficient employee" started to try to take my centercap by smashing it from behind. Lucky I was there to tell him that it's screw in and I have the tool,after finishing he put the wheel back and I runned back to my work place because my lunch time was over...When I got down the car took a look to my wheel ,the F%*# employee used a shorter socket to put the wheel wrecking all it's holes I know my wheels arent new but now one looks like crap(BTW I have a set Of 17" Work S2R)...after work went back there :after inspecting my $ wheels the manager asked me...Did he asked you if you have the tool?My answer was "No"...I have the tool ,but thougght these people Know their job so didn' bother. End of the story the mannager offered me they can send the wheel to be fixed ...But Not sure it's going to finish the same color as the others(ouch) So all this is to tell you IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAR AND YOU DON'T DRIVE A FORDEN DON'T GO THERE.... The only good thing about the experience was that I discovered why my car is taller...Nismo shocks
  11. Excellent job...love your brakes...(BTW you made a family album of your stag )
  12. No,problem you have all the hardware/parts change cover now... (it's like any other car,for a mechanic)
  13. That's tue,sad but true, and things are going even worst,looks like like all import stuff is about to go up in price...so Mickya mind your mods because you need some balance on them,simple power upgrades like hi flow filter (maybe smic/fmic)+ exhaust(dumpy+cat+catback) is one thing,but changing turbo and make it work perfect involves ecu re-tune + bigger fuel pump + inyector +etc ,is another +++labor on top(except you do it your self...)so good luck in your project...
  14. It's extrange beeing a manual ,doesn't it have the three gauges in the centre console,so the oil pressure sender should be connected?BTW ,everybody pokes around imports ,allways trying to find some uprade(hmmm...freeby )
  15. As told before ,if you are going to change turbo check comp with the dump pipe ,high flow metal cat converter is a must as high flow panel filter or pod filter...after that EBC so maybe you can get up to 14-16 psi depending turbo(don't try it with the stock one) + SAFC to control fuel air. After that for sure you will atrt thinking about handling and braking ,herre you can go two ways first as Ryan said endless pads +braided lines or second change to R33 (or R34) rotors and calipers( you can allways go with brembos ...but pricy) and maybe upgrade sway bars for some whiteline ones You will find lots of ideas in this forum,so check around and save yourself some headhaches (or just ask there'll be somebody happy to answer and help) Good luck and have fun...
  16. just went on google like allways and found this page (extrange never seen it before... ) so...check www.wgnc34.com aka STAGEA DOT COM ...just that ...
  17. Thanks for the advices...but looking some place local(want to go ,pay and get it)+ not friend of nissan dealers' prices...
  18. just bought a second hand dump pipe and looking for the gasket that goes to the standard turbo...Does anybody know a place in melbourne SE suburbs (Dandenong area maybe)where to buy one ?
  19. Congrats..hoping to see pics of your ride...welcome to Stagworld....
  20. Today,saw a Silver S1 plates UFG 464 in the blacrock area...
  21. WoW...simply amazing,I remember this stag when I join this group but it got to a level far up of anything I've seen or imagine....the only thing that can say(that my envy allows me to say) is congratulations you built the real heck of a ride...
  22. There was a thread about that just take your glovebox out ,the filters are right begind just pull them and (if you want to try)wash them...the only problem is the plastic brace at the front(mine was already been cutted)
  23. Saw a Grey S1 ,plate FSG 459 (i guess)outside Bunings Fountain gate ,today at 11.00 ,It had an sticker "import cuisers" on the tailgate window...
  24. I know been talked about hundred times but lets put it square for me... 1-difference bettween S1 and S2 dump pipe 2-Can explain difference (lenght,flanges ,angles)? 3-Compatibility bettween skyline and stageas (R33 gtst=S1/R34 gtt =S2) The lowline is after buying a second hand R33 3" dump pipe on ebay and after receiving it find it had a huge crack ...didn't learn and still looking ...already have a 3" cat but no dump ...thinking to do the job myself so want to clarify as much as possible before hand and all this questions been around my empty head Thanks...freddy
