Hey Adam, I’ve read Part III of “The Quest For More”, did you end up getting it all installed in the car with more lock? I’ve just started taking my S1 to the track and looking for more lock, so far it’s pretty standard in the front end apart from coilovers. I’ve seen a kit for the 32/33 from Garage 7 that looks alright but would prefer to swap spindles before installing one of these kits (http://www.garage7.com.au/home/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=2952&category_id=616&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53 ) Regards, Kierin

Thanks champ, that's very helpful. Do your tyres wear out fairly quickly? I'm leaning towards +35 up front to get the wheels in the guards.

Cheers mate, Trying to avoid any panel work apart from lipping the inside of the guards. I'm hoping to find someone else who has fitted 10" wheels in the front of a Series 1 to see how they got it to work? The feedback I'm getting from Series 2 is that there is little modification needed, fits near perfect straight up. Is there any difference between S1 & S2 suspension components that would contribute to this problem or are S2 guards wider?

Hey, I've read through many pages and it seems that 18x10+15, 265x35x18 should fit in the front and rear with manual rear subframe. I've tried fitting this size wheel to my C34 and it fits nicely in the rear but sticks out approx. 25mm in the front. What is needed to fit these wheels properly without running crazy camber and chewing out tyres, I'd like to have the same offset and width front and rear without pumping the guards. There would be approx. 25mm clearance on the inner side of the wheel. Any help would be appreciated as I'd like to order some new wheels soon Regards, Kierin

I've searched for a bit for a wiring schematic but couldn't find any clear stagea specific ones, I just thought that others may have done transmission conversions and removed wiring with all the other gear. I would like to use the space it occupies and less wiring running all over the car would make me happy. Cheers

Hello I've been doing some work in the rear end of the car and came across the attesa ecu. My car is no longer auto or 4WD, can I remove this and the wiring or is it still necessary for proper abs function, dash instruments, etc.? Cheers

Thanks for the replies. I need the car up and running quickly so I will go with the short term solution of hard-wiring the stock fuel pump until I can investigate further.

Hey Guys and Girls In the market for an in-tank lift pump that can support approximately 6-800 RWHP (C34). Car will not make it straight up but I like to avoid doing things twice. Already have an out of tank setup with surge tank using Bosch 044's. A supplier of proposed pumps would help so that I can purchase it quickly. Sorry for not researching this thoroughly myself, I only have a short period of time to look online when away for weeks at a time for work. Thanks in advance, Kierin

Zorro These are some pics I took during the install, sorry mate, didn't get any when the wheel was off. Stock With BC BR Coilovers Regards Kierin

Thanks Zorro Installed front only as low as they could go and it lowered it approximately 45mm, which left me with roughly 130 ground clearance. Spoke to supplier and they will sort it out and get GTR if necessary. Btw Zorro, guard height was approximately 665 at this stage. Will post pics if anyone is keen. Kierin

It will be used as track only for a period, then brought up to legal spec down the track. My concern with the current coilovers is that if you wind the lower section with eyelet up as high as it can go it is not much shorter overall than stock shocks fitted in car at standard height. Kierin

Hey guys and girls I just took delivery of some BC coilovers, BR series (6/8) for my S1 Stagea (auto 4wd). I have fitted a S14 rear cradle which shouldn't affect the choice of coilover. When i compared the front coilover to stock setup fitted in car, it appeared that it won't lower much more than an inch or two over standard. My question for you all is; will Stagea specific coilovers get the ride height lower than legal? I will most likely set it up at 100mm ground clearance but would like the option of going a little lower, should I have purchased suspension to suit a different Nissan model, i.e. R34 GTS-T, R33 GTR? Sorry for not researching this thoroughly myself, I only have poor mobile service and would like to exchange these coilovers A.S.A.P. if necessary before installing them in the car and accidently marking them and getting stuck with high ride height. Thanks in advance, Kierin

Is the clutch pedal still available?

If it hasn't sold, how much for clutch pedal and bracket - including postage to Gatton, Q, 4343

SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!

Phil How much are you chasing for the steering rack? I still can't PM so are you able to PM me a contact so I can grab your address off you?

I have been quoted $500 for everything less sump. Unless someone can beat that or thinks it is a complete rip I will probably pick it up this arvo or tomorrow. The half cut comes with hubs, brakes, dash, brake booster and steering wheel. Seems fair to me

Thanks for the contact Stagman, very helpful. They have quoted $500 for everything less sump. Unless someone can beat that or thinks it is a complete rip I will pick it up this arvo or tomorrow. The half cut comes with hubs, brakes, dash, brake booster and steering wheel. Seems fair to me Unique1 - for the gear box I will be using the Ls1's T56. Firstly it will probably be built 2WD with parts manufactured to allow 4WD down the track, then when some more funds have been collected I'll try and adapt the R32's transfer case to the T56.

Cheers guys for the support. That would be great if you could find the name for that place. I've called Nisswreck and they are yet to get back to me with prices. Thanks for the heads up on the rear cradle, would be helpful down the track.

I was hoping no-one would ask... I'm a bit worried I'll be shooting myself in the foot by cutting off any chance for help... but here goes. I have a LS1 which has had a little work done to it, its fitted to the T56 with a decent clutch and sitting in my garage doing nothing (killin me to have it sit there). I have a bloke at work which is quite good with the custom work that is required to complete a job like this and a workshop available every weekend, so might as well make use of it. The plan is to end up with a twin turbo LS1 6 speed manual AWD wagon. Most may ask why not start with an Adventra? Well, because I'm in love with the look of the R34'd Stageas. I am interested in the option of using a Nissan V8 because it will already have the diff fitted to the sump which will take a bit of complication out ot the matter. Could be good to catch up with your mate to find out how hard it was for him to decide if I go much further. At this stage I'm just looking to trial fit it.

If you're available over the weekend i'll definately grab the sway bar off you. Cheers mate. How much you chasing for the rack? I can on reply since I haven't reached 10 posts

Forgot to mention, but I'm sure most of you probably guessed, the shell will need to be 4WD

G'day I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm looking for some parts for a project I had in mind, they do not have to be in good condition, nor in a working condition. The purpose of these items is just to trial fit an engine in a C34 Stagea to see how or if it will fit. If I have left any parts out that anyone thinks could be handy please let me know. A left over half cut would be near perfect if anyone has one lying around instead of taking it to wrecker. Looking for the following items: 1) Front half of a C34 Stagea (4WD) shell going as far back as possible but no shorter than the transmission mount, no need for panels - needs to be fairly straight. 2) Cross member from a 4WD model 3) Steering rack 4) The steering shaft between the steering wheel and steering rack 5) Front sump including diff, presumably from an RB25 motor 6) Front Drive shafts - can be twisted, snapped or other 7) Sway bar I live West of Brisbane, so I can pick up items if they are within a couple of hours from Bris, otherwise a transport company will be needed to get em. I have tried some importers of halfcuts and wreckers with little success. If anyone knows of any places that might sell or store what I'm looking for, please let me know. I have posted the above in the "Wanted To Buy" section also: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...it-t298813.html Regards Kierin
