Hi,

I pick up my C34 RS-4 on friday from MJR Motorsport in Southport. Took it for a drive Saturday just gone, absolute dream to drive. I currently own a S13 K's, but over the boy racer looking car and getting defected all the time.

hey all,

my names megan and i own a s1 rsfour and its stock as apart from the sound system i put in ;)

got a pic of it the day i bought it its not near as fancy as some of the ones on here!post-46440-1211880030_thumb.jpg

Time, patience, planning and money are the key ingredients to building a nice car and you've got a good starting base there. :)

Hi Guys 'n' Gals

in a weeks time i will be the proud new owner of a Black S2 Stagea, i have been looking at one for a while, but when my car bit the dust last week, i had had enough, i had a look at this car and fell in love with her. altho, my cother car (my first car) has served me well, its a 1983 Nissan Bluebird Wagon... i have put her through hell and back for the 11 years, and she still goes, i just cat be buggered fixing the damn thing anymore. hehe ill post a pic of my new one when i get a decent camera shot.

Wow, snap with the bluebird... I had a series 2 wagon before my stagea, although I only had mine for about 8 years. I second the longevity of the bluebird, it takes a hell of a beating and keeps going (I did a twin SU carby + extractors conversion and it was going better when I finished with it then it was when I got it :() but I was in the same boat, I just didn't have time to keep fixing it, and I was getting jack of how much money I was putting into it.

Go the stagea, it's one hell of a trade up :cheers:

Got my Stagea today & been driving around the GC all day. Such an awesome car to drive, although filling it up on premium sucked at $92 for a full tank from near empty!! But still well worth it.

Awesome stuff, congratulations Adam :cheers: I remember that feeling... was about 3 months ago lol :(

About the $92... you say it is worth it (and I think it is too, paying say $20-30 more per week to drive such an awesome car), but the question is I guess.... will we both still think so in, say, 6-12 months?

Just sold the skyline and bought a stagea a couple of weeks ago from japan. its currently floating in the water somewhere between adelaide and Japan :)

its a '98 S2 RS4 V Dayz Edition, in pearl white.

has minimal mods:

Pod

Exhaust

Coilovers

17" wheels

cant wait for it to land here in adelaide... and get complied of course

Hi all, finally got my Stagea :) so I can introduce myself and say hello. My wife and I have picked ourselves up a '98 RS Four S series 2. It has allready been named the Banana :( due to the fact that it is bright yellow. We picked it up locally (Hervey Bay, QLD) as a private sale and I think it is one of only 2 or 3 locally. We also have a '98 SSS Pulsar N15 which will now be my wifes car when she gets her licence. Although after driving it the last day and a bit, I think I may still take the Pulsar to work quite a bit with how fuel is. The guy that we bought it off has a few extra's to give us like a nice new Front mount and a full stereo, has TEIN coilovers in a box in the garage that he took out because his wife thought it to hard of a ride, set of standard rims and we found 2 Japanese CD's in the back of the front seats. Bit strange driving around listening to songs in Japanese. Will be starting to detail it tomorrow provided the rain goes away. Have started searching these forums for things to do with it and the wife is allready shaking her head at me telling me that we can't get anything for it... Time will tell. Well that's about it.

Dave and Jess :D

Nice one, Dave and Jess, and welcome to the Stagea family!

99 S2 Yellow Dayz Neo Design. Never seen one before mine! What the hell is it?? Can't find it on Google!

Carbon Fibre everywhere! Dash, Head lights, flares, spoiler, rear window trims, console, intrument panel all Carbon Fibre.

3.5 Inch exhaust, Coil overs, 17's (white). Car looks pretty trick!!

We need to have a Sydney Cruise! How can we organise one?

Hi guys. Just joined not long ago. I am driving around in a 2003 M35 Pearl white Stagea RS Four Autech with 20inch wheels, dark windows, lowered with a 3inch exhaust system. I have to say its the best value for money car I have ever had. Also the fuel economy is impressive.

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
