Wow. good price for parts there.. I think from memory, because the same box came in the commodores(at that time) aswell, we managed to pick all parts up for 450 but then with upgraded clutch, + all costs for the little niggly bits, (boot covers, gear stick/knob, clutch pedal etc) price went up.. maybe it was 1K minus what we sold the auto for I cant remember but it doesn't matter.

Now we have a faultless box that grabs like it wants to go into the next gear, its great! haha

damn that is one crazy but nice job ;) any news on getting copies of the front guards?

The moulds are getting made now, and will be finished in approx a week

Fitted Tein coilovers today

Tomie Poncams arrived today aswell

Old turbo is off and waiting for new dump pipe to be modified to suit larger Apexi turbo

Once motor is running again, the car will be off to get manual gearbox fitted and dyno tune of power Fc

Then is it can be painted.

BAS and Jamboree coming up in a few months time, so I need to get it finished!

Totally awesome, can't wait to see this finished :thumbsup:

I might get you to put me down for a pair of guards :( thinking about converting to the stagea side :S

Well for nearly 12 months I finally got to drive my Stagea for the second time today.

Got to drive it the mechanic's shop to get the gearbox changed to manual, no more tiptronic

I have done the apexi turbo, tomie type b cams, fmic, teins, r34 brakes and full exhaust and r34 gtr front

Still needs power fc, injectors, fuel pump and z32 airflow meter installed and then it can be dynoed and then get painted.

Much excitement! Any chence you'll be able to bring it to the meet?? Can't wait to see a '34 Stagea in the flesh!

That is the plan, but instaed the of the gearbox being 1 day, the car will be there all week. So as long as it does not get held up, it will be there.

Only got the front guards back form getting copied on Saturday lunch time and car was not back together and drivable till 12.30am today.

It will not look to pretty with silver body, black guards, gtr purple bonnet, white front bar and pearl white ganador mirrors and no side skirts or rear bar, but it will be there.

have you got any pics of what the car looks like with the front attached?? does anyone know what price you can get a kit to do this?? and where? thanks guys

Allow $4-4500 for the parts plus fitting and painting approx $2-2000

If you are still interested PM me

Here are a few pic's of what they look like and a pic of mine not painted yet and missing a few bits.

I may sell my car once it is painted and tuned, has $25K of mods if you are interested?

    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
