Run-It-Hard

I recently sold my R33 so no need for the roof wing anymore. Brand new in gel coat, I did sand it down so it's pretty much ready for primer. $220 + postage Located in Hoxton park area NSW. Adam.

For anyone wondering what I own now. It's this bucket of shit.. nah it's a good car. Very basic which is a refreshing change. Will be doing some bodywork/paint within a few months then it should look pretty cool. This is the colour I have decided on, should look classy with its new wheels on and stuff.

Nissan Stagea sacked on LXZ - View on the blog Following on from my last post. After the sub frame install was complete we headed out to Taleb tyres to get some rubber mounted on the LXZs. Taleb sell decent tyres at a good price, and aren’t afraid of stretch like most stores. Originally we wanted Achilles ATR sport all round, but due to not having any stock on the fronts, we settled for Unigrips. Next step was bolting them onto the Stagea, and toying around with the height, toe and camber to get it sitting just the way we like it. One downfall with Weds LXZ is that they don’t have much brake clearance. But luckily the Stagea brakes are rather slim so there are no need for spacers. Back in the day when I was helping Benny figure out what sizes to run on this beast, he came across these and I knew they would be absolutely perfect, and wouldn’t need much work at all to get them to fit. The front specs are 18×9 -2 with a 225/40R18 The rear specs are 18×10 -7 with a 235/40R18 In a perfect world, the Stagea would be as low as my old one. But considering this is the car we take to the shops and all that boring stuff, it needs to kinda get over speed humps without much fuss. I guess it’s a great compromise for it looking good whilst being fairly practical. With the Wheels out-of-the-way, the next steps are to finish off the exterior. The front windows have been tinted 15% to match the privacy glass. New black slimline plates are on their way too. I’m currently on the hunt for a DAYZ rear lip as it doesn’t have one for some odd reason. Julie doesn’t like the S2 version so I’ll retro-fit a S1 lip. The Trust exhaust will be getting the flick too, just doesn’t suit the look of the car and is a tad too loud. But I must say the Stagea has scrubbed up very nicely. Specs are: Wheels – Weds Kranze LXZ 18×9 -2 (F) 18×10 -7 ® Tyres – Unigrip 225/40R18 (F) Achilles ATR sport 235/40R18 ® Guard work - Rolled guards front and rear Other work – Manual/Silvia rear sub frame installed

HANDS HAVE CHANGED - VIEW ON THE BLOG Most know of Benny’s daily driver, the sleek black Nissan Stagea. Well Benny decided that he didn’t want to use it as a support/tow car for the R33 and was looking to sell it for something more suitable. We seem to have a common trend happening between each other. Either parts or cars will change from one bro in Run It Hard! to another. Julie decided that it was time for an upgrade and had always liked Benny’s Stagea. So with a bit of chit-chat, the Stagea ended up in Julie’s possession, and Benny bought himself another car. We ended up taking the lot off Benny, the S14 subframe, camber and toe arms and even the Weds LXZs that have been destined to go on the car for over a year. While Julie had three cars, I decided that it was now or never to get the S14 subframe installed. It’s a big job but I’ve done it so many times it isn’t funny. The swap was much more straight-forward then with my Stagea, mainly because I’ve done it a few times and that we were keeping the OEM bushes (I had subframe risers on mine). The OEM S14 bushes were in decent condition, one had a crack so I got out the urethane and applied it liberally. All the recesses were filled and smoothed out too just because. I’ve touched on it before, but the reasoning for installing an S14 or S15 rear subframe into a Stagea is because the automatic versions have a wider rear track. Which can make wheel fitment being an issue. The S14/15 subframe is roughly 50mm narrower and brings the track even front and back. It also means you can fit massive wheels underneath the wagon. With the subframe installed, it was now time to get these precious LXZs mounted up.

cheers mate! Yeah sometimes gotta do what we gotta do. It all worked out though but the Stagea was sacrifised for it. Thank you. Every few years? He's been thinking about selling for a while. Wish I had the money to buy it back but I don't.

Chucked on my aero again, missing DMAX vent, new ducktail, 30mm rear guards and my ordens in this pic.

More a lot of time wasters, seems to be a common trend dealing with this forum as of late.. Would rather keep them then to sell them for $80 lol.

bump!

$130 firm!

Bought another M spec bumper about a month or so ago that was colour coded. that doesn't matter much now though, as I'll be giving the 33 a make over soon.

doubt it, 32 are different in shape.

hullo

bump!!

Grille gone, boss kit pending!

Shall let you know if it falls through.

I have a pair of 595s on that size, I'd be willing to let go at the right price.
