Hi all

My Stagea has arrived in Adelaide complied and ready to go - putting it through regency this Wednesday.

I'm sure Pawley and I will have lots of questions in the near future, but look forward to meeting more Stagea owners in the future.

What a tuff car though!!! I am really impressed now that I have one in the flesh.

Mel

:huh:

Nice car!!

I've also recently bought one ('99 S2) - I live in Adelaide but bought it from a dealer on the Gold Coast.

Looks very similar to yours (white) but doesn't have the grey strip round the sides and back. That grey strip actually looks pretty cool.

Good luck with it - and enjoy - they're an awesome car!!!

Congrats, Mel!

Good to hear you're happy with the purchase, and you'll see it only gets better as you notice all the little detail things in the car that make the ownership experience great. Stuff like the little storage compartments and the extra cigarette lighter socket in the boot, the fold-down seats with the handy handles(!), multi-adjustable driver's seat, reclining rear seats, etc.

Did yours come optioned with the luggage blind and net, and self-closing boot?

Hi Krissy - didn't know you had a stagea as well! Gee we must have the same taste in cars!!!

Glad to hear my old girl is doing well, I do miss that car immensly, what figures did it pull if you don't mind me asking? The most I got out of it was 178rwkw running at standard boost but with the intercooler and exhaust.

sorry forgot to reply to the rest

The exhaust had to be replaced from the cat bak as it was full of carbon and the cat was blocked,restricting the flow. We also put a 25 box in. We retarded the ignition timing put my old boost guage on and bleed 10psi into it and it pulled 203rwkw on the dyno (272hp). Were planning for later on down the track upgrading to an aftermarket computer, but for the time being were happy with it.

Don't worry she's in good hands..

Good luck with your stagea

top choice in car

203 really! that's awesome! had no idea there was any problem with the exaust let alone the fact that the cat was blocked that's not good - glad you found it looks like it was causing some serious restrictions. I had the boost up for about a month when i first bought the car and it loved it!

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
