no thanks. I know how good Ap gear is,but for that price,it's just not feasible for me. I'd fit GTR brembos (especially as I already have a pair of R34 rear lined up) with two piece project mu discs up front,ferodo pads all 'round and would still have enough cash left over for a cheap set of wheels and half decent tyres to go over the top of them. thanks for the offer though. Justin...

offset spec? will you ship to Sydney? regards, Justin...

the std S2 wheel is a 16x7" +40 offset,running a 205/55/R16. that's off of the wheel itself,and verified by the original japanese placard on the door jamb on the driver's side. Justin...

my S2 doesn't have seat memory. they're electric adjust,and manual for angle in the rear. while we're talking interior stuff,is it just me,or does anyone else think the remote back seat release levers at the back of the hatch are pretty cool? Justin...

cheers mate. yeah,the position thing may sound odd,but believe me,it's NOT comfortable atm. a mate on the other side of town mentioned that he may be able to source me a spacer for the std wheel that someone apparently makes now in whatever length is required from 1" upwards. if that comes through,I'll just space back the std woodgrain/leather wheel. if not,I'll try and find a suitable boss and fit the momo corse that I have spare from off of my previous nissan. Justin...

looks the goods,exactly what I'm after too. Will have to get one of these in a couple of months when I'm a bit better off financially. Justin...

I own a '00 and am interested for ~$100 delivered. Justin...

pm sent re brake callipers. Justin...

may as well resurrect this thread again. Sydney,NSW here. Justin...

my '00 model has the factory 5 mat set in it. if all you need is a cardboard tracing or something of them made and mailed to someone,I could probably do that. Justin...

from what I was told today,the WGNC34 runs the same brakes as a U13 bluebird up front,twin spots. Justin...

fair enough. I find most modern cars like this though. I sit pretty upright,and I find that when I get the distance on the pedals correct,I'm about an inch/inch and a half too far away from the wheel. dawdling around town is fine,I can still reach it,but not operate it properly at pace. my AE86 had 75mm of spacers on top of the boss kit,as did my S14. I'm 6'1",and have what they call positive ape factor,but not enough it would seem. the stagea's wheel needs to come back about an inch,I'll see how I go. I don't have a problem with removing airbags. I sit too far awy from them for them to be of any real use to me in an accident anyway,and to be honest,having proper control by having the wheel I want,where I need it is more important IMHO. I'm surprised you've seen people do serious damage to themselves removing steering wheels. I'm a mechanic,and take them off regularly as part of my work,it's not difficult. the two things to remember are to keep the car switched off so the system has no power going to it (both so the bag can't go off,and so you don't put a fault code into the ecu),and to leave the nut on a couple of turns when you wiggle the wheel off of the column. regards, Justin...

I found it in a yard on parramatta rd. I went up the mountains with my girlfriend on boxing day and saw a yellow '99 model for sale in a dealer's as I drove past,so we stopped in on the way home to have a look as I'd been thinking about possibly buying one for a couple of months,as my celsior was starting to get too expensive to maintain. the yellow one looked ok,but I didn't think I could live with a bright yellow car,and I said as much to the salesman,who then told me "oh,we have a silver one out back that's just come in". I made the decision about 10min later after checking it out,put a deposit on it on wednesday night,and bought the car on friday arvo. it was just too clean to pass up. it has a few marks here and there,but nothing nasty. it's not new after all...but looks as close to new as you'll get I reckon. first mod will hopefully be a steering wheel. as awesome as the std one is,it's just too far away from me to be comfortable. I just need to find a suitable boss kit,and I'll put on the momo corse I have sitting here from my old silvia. anyone know what would fit,and where I could get a boss kit from? Justin...

thanks for the welcome guys. here's some pics of the car. if I've gone too far,let me know,I don't know the etiquette here yet. I DO have plans for the car,I've been following the towbar thread with some interest for starters. the car will cop some sway bars and radius rods in january,and then it's one thing at a time until I get it all sorted. I need to put a LOT of effort into my project car to get it finished,which is part of why I bought the stagea and not another S14 (I've had two before) like I was tempted to do. it'll get there... Justin...

cheers mate. I don't have any pics yet,will upload them in the morning when I get my camera's cable back (long story). Justin...

Hi all, my name is Justin,and I've just bought a Stagea,so I thought I'd say hi. it's a 10/00 model,in silver,with the black leather and woodgrain interior,and is completely standard. I traded in a celsior for it as I wanted something a little easier on juice,a little more practical,but still capable of towing my AE86 project car when it's eventually finished. I took a few pics this afternoon on the way home,I'll post them soon if people want to see what it looks like. hope to catch up with you all soon! Justin...
