Big Fella

yeah it needs to be dropped a bit, prob can only go 1 inch lower tho, the rear rims hang out the gaurds and i don't rally want to wear thru the sidewall of my tyre.

yeah hopefully there will be another stagea cruise coming up soon. i've already used a tank and a half of fuel cruising around and its been washed twice already(damn wet weather) took it out for a run today to the Mount Alma Mile hillclimb event for a look then looped back thru victor to do a delamere road run home.( i think i may have to remove the speed cut) these things pull really hard up top, even with my missfire issue the car pulled really strong. now my plans for this couple of weeks are - plugs, maybe coils - alarm and immobiliser (so that Just cars will actually cover my insurance) - remove dodgy jap spec remote start system - fit my 7 inch dvd touch screen so i can actually listen to the radio - remove standard speakers and fit some decent splits - get sa rego - order new number plates - get front windows tinted - remove compliance cat and get hi flow unit fitted - get power run on the dyno for a baseline for future mods

i would love to, but then i'd have to do an RB26 conversion to match it!

i'm a mechanic, so iridium plugs are cheap for me anyway.I always run them in my vehicles. they made a large difference to fuel economy and throttle response in my Suzuki GSR600(plus they were a pain to get to every service) I even run them in the wifes car, they last alot longer than stock plugs. probably have to order some yellow jacket coils on monday if the plugs don't help out. i'm pretty sure its not rich and retard, cause it misses like crazy at idle sometimes, and it's alot worse when driving in cold, wet weather(it didn't happen in sydney when i test drove it in 30'c weather). plus i'm pretty sure that it is tsill running standard boost. there's no sign of a bleeed valve or anything under the bonnet. i popped the coil pack cover off last night and gave everything a good coating of silicone spray and it seemed to get a bit better for a little while. hopefully it is only the plugs and coilpacks tho, i've got other stuff to spend my hard earned cash on rather than fault finding on this car.

very doubtful that he's even try to help. but Karma is a bitch. example: my dad wanted me to have a look at some Nissan ElGrand vans while i was there, but instead he bought one locally. i will never recommend anyone i know to go to Nagoya motors for a car, it isn't worth the hassle.

i'm running 235/40r18 tyres stretched onto the 10 inch wide rims. don't know about the offset, the rims have a jap sticker on them but i can't read it for some reason. they sit fairly close to the struts and still hang out the guards on the rear. i'm prety sure that they'd suit a GTR rear end a bit better

yeah, pod filter on my not replaced with box. brake pads not changed. leather taken off shifter. vacuum valve not replaced. now the car is missfiring like a bitch because it is cold and wet down here at the moment. time for some new coilpacks, and i bet Nagoya won't help out in that area either. NOT HAPPY.

and

Well, my 2000 C34 Stagea finally arrived in South Australia yesterday after 2 months of waiting. It's a Bayside blue Series 2 Dayz edition. Auto with only 57000km on the clock. Dual electric sunroofs, Carbon fibre mirror covers, Carbon fibre 'd' pillar covers, Carbon fibre front lip insert. Full Dayz bodykit. Nismo 3" exhaust and blitz pod filter, 18*10" rims (Yes officer, they do sit inside the gaurds) Car goes really well and i'm very happy with it. EXCEPT.... it has already developed a missfire, very slight at idle but it feels like a fuel cut once you get up to 5000rpm (it still accelerates all the way to redline, just missfires from 5000 thru to 6500), so it gets new iridium plugs on Monday and maybe some coilpacks(hopefully just the plugs fix the issue). So here it is

are these in english or japanese. if english i'll take the c34 one. PM me with bank or Paypal details

I'm looking for an auto gear shift knob for my series 2 stagea, either leather or standard. the leather was all torn on mine so they dealer peeled it off entirely. will be happy to pay postage from anywhere in oz

just a thought on the super bright lights. while they may be awesome for you to see that little bit further than the stock(fairly good ones) they are actually kinda blinding when coming the other way, especially when you're on a motor bike or out in the country. 8000k is probably a bit overkill, as well as being another thing for cops to pick on.

any ideas on cost? if my stagea ever gets here i might be keen.

sorry mate but the rolling diameter will be different. having a 35 profile tyre means that the side wall is 35% of the width, therefore if you have a wider tyre, the sidewall height increases in proportion with the width increase. 235/35 = 82.25mm sidewall. 245/35 = 85.72mm sidewall. which means you have a 7mm difference in tyre height. this may be enough to cause trouble.

yeah great cruise guys, hopefully next time i'll have my stagea there too. hopefully we get a few more cars showing up aswell. but it was a good run and i met some cool people.

it's only rain

yeah i knew that the actual group buy was ages ago, but i noticed that SK had organised different valving for the bilsteins or something like that, therefore i want to see if these shocks are still available, my car is a fresh import with only 57,000km and i don't really want to put gts-t rear shocks in it because of the extra weight.

are these kits still available at the discount rate? and do you need to run the bilstein springs with the coilovers or will the stock springs to the job?

what sort of format do you guys need for video?

change of plans, looks like i'll be cathcin a ride out with tangles in his Stag. lookin forward to a good cruise.

received, my stag isn't here yet, nut does anybody mind me coming out to the start point and having a suss.......maybe even tag along right at the back. i really want to have a good look over some other stageas rather than the 3 i've seen. If it helps i'll drive my VE ss sportwagon and we can do a comparo

so when are these PMs getting sent out, i need to plan my long weekend around this cruise on sunday???

finaly a date has been set for the Stagea compliance......MARCH 17th. unfortunately they only get a certain amount of compliancing per month(or some crap like that) and mine missed out this month by one car........Master jdoggy!!!! so now D'mitri is sending me a random car???? to use for the next month. then when i go on Holidays to Sydney at the end of march I'm gonna drop the loan car off and pick up my Stagea. so he is helping out, but i wish i had have known this stuff upfront. stupid only blue car for sale!!!!
