Wow! No wonder a guys head nearly twisted off his shoulders as he over took me trying to work out what the hell I was driving, no good looking at the front of the car mate there's no Volvo badge there...

haha rofl, thats sooo true, people are dumb founded when they look at mine and hear this rumble and wonder what the f**k is that. took it to the local gearbox shop and he says "thats a bloody loud volvo" haha, i told him it aint a volvo and he is like "u r wasting your time with exhuast and stuff thats y its so loud", i didnt mention it was a gtr engine and that so he thinks its a volvo 4 banger with a muffler.

bloody old bugger ;)

id love to take it back to him when its properly tuned and take him for a run in it and show him his vz ss ute is pretty slow :D

most of the stageas that have been imported are still sitting in car yards around the country. The majority are in QLD from what the compliancers have told me.

Mine looked worse after 9hours of night driving up from Brissie to Rocky!

Might be the mountain air, I always copped a lot of bugs running up and down where Hugh lives, esp coming down or going up the goat track :D

I know it is a sacrilige. My Stagea does not have a double unicorn on her grille. She is suffering an identity crisis, hence the slanted black and chrome.

I am worried that if she hears about the latest Audi RS 4 she might end up with four silver rings on her grille also.

The mind boggles.

i havent seen one within 1 1/2 hours of my home... love it. Cos know one else has either. everytime i take it out but more and more people know what it is.

cant beat a lil bit of exclusivity... worth the price paid.

how bout this roll call thread?

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
