After a quick read it appears that jap cars are a lot cheaper in nz. I thought id share my stag with you guys. Got it for 19k NZD 10 months ago and that was above average price. Ive seen the same model for sale with only 70k on the clock for 12.5k.. granted it had a huge ugly wing on it :P

Specs are:

1999 Stagea RS-V

120k kms

RWD, not 4wd, some 100kg lighter.

Auto

RB25DET

Dayz bodykit from jap land.

Modifications currently:

18" Nissan G35 coupe wheels, 235 tyres

Lowering springs - Laurel front, cefiro rear (a bit too low, but ya cant find springs for rwd stags it seems)

Trust airinx filter.

Greddy Type RS BOV

Greddy ProfecB spec-2 boost control, runnin 0.75 bar.

Sound gear:

Panasonic CQ7401 headunit

Nice car mate,kit looks nice,a nd love the spoiler. How do you find the handling of the RWD compared to the AWD? One of the guys where I work is considering importing a RWD stag to do a manual conversion and RB26DETT, the way he figures it's a lot cheaper and easier than converting an AWD model... coincidentally he's a kiwi too lol.

Cheers guys!

Nice car mate,kit looks nice,a nd love the spoiler. How do you find the handling of the RWD compared to the AWD? One of the guys where I work is considering importing a RWD stag to do a manual conversion and RB26DETT, the way he figures it's a lot cheaper and easier than converting an AWD model... coincidentally he's a kiwi too lol.

For a plain ol rb25det i think RWD is the better option. I have too much traction in the rear as it is! The 4wd version is really just dead weight in my opinion as the rwd model is already 1540kg, the only advantage would be snow going and suspension parts availability as the RWD model appears to use laurel type sus. gear.

Im not sure if the front suspension of the 4wd model will provide better handling but where the 4wd gains there i reckon i can catch up with a lower overall weight.

As for GTR gear in a rwd stag, i would probably go for the easy route and do it to a 4wd model. There are a couple of RS260s over here one in particular pushing towards the 350-400kw range on a T04z Also met a guy that converted an RS4-S to an RB26 and run down to the low 11's >:]

Once i get the safc2, fmic and exhaust i should be hitting the dyno to see what power it actually makes. Might be a while though heh.

I'm not the biggest fan of yellow but man that looks good, Rims look great on it too. Love the body kit, is it just the DayZ extra that has that kit? Is yours a prime edition with leather and woodgrain inside?

Yeah yellow grew on me too hehe.

All i know about the kit is that it came with the car from Japan and it has DayZ on it on the front and rear.

Unfortunately i didnt get leather, wood or sunroofs. I have gunmetal plastic instead which i prefer, but id kill for leather and twin sunnies. Leather looks mint in stageas, well leather is just mint anyway!

Love those wheels!

I'd love to get myself a set of those V35/G35 wheels for my Stagea, but there aren't that many floating around that I've noticed, so either I go for the original idea of racing-style wheels (still deep in my thoughts anyway), or start looking properly for a set of those Nissan wheels.

Nice car, congrats!

That's the second mellow yellow Staj I've seen other then the one parked outside and it is making me feel warm and fuzzy and sick all at the same time.

Those mags are 'floating my boat'.

The rear spoiler almost 'baked my potatoes.' I prefer the shorter stock style.

By the way, what's the warning sticker say? "Warning, do not attempt to drag this car or you will be humiliated!!

Dam your right I didn't even pick that up with the heads lights,  they are different around the edges. I wonder if the are stock like that.

The wheels cost me $600 NZD - roughly 550-600 AUD - second hand from a mag shop here (they must have been left from someone who upgraded their G35.) Tyres were nankangs and cost 220NZD per piece.

The lights appear to be factory. They have carbon fibre look surrounds. Maybe theyre part of the DayZ thing, im not sure.

Oh and its some warning for females not to wear tight clothing due to excessive acceleration. heh.

Heres some pics of one of the 260 RS's in NZ with r34 front.

Looks good.

$19k is a bit on the high side, but it has a lot of extra stuff and looks in good nick.

I like 4WD ever since a pulled out of a service station quickly in the wet and instead of sliding sideways, the car just went where I pointed it. It's also good around wet round-abouts.

By the way, you forgot to blank out your number plate in one of the photos.

Once again, nice car.

love the headlights and the rims, looks great!

(P.S. does anyone know if you can modify the headlight to be like that, or anywhere that might sell them???)

Agreed. I would like to do it to an S1

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
