Well, after haunting these here forums for over 3 months and quietly sucking all the info I could from the fine people here, I have just sold my soul to the bank and slapped a deposit on my new Stagea!

To all you WA folk, I have got this beast off the new kid on the compliance block - DCImports.com and so far I can thoroughly recommend them. Regan seems to be a fairly straight forward bloke who has done me a great deal and I think it is fabulous that we now have a choice of compliers in WA other than the one we all know and bitch about. He also had a nice selection of 2 door stageas :P laying about the place for those that way inclined.

I will be picking the green machine up in a weeks time and I will have more photos then, but for now heres the one they had on their site.

:sorcerer:

Dude LOVE the colour...

Always glad to see another addition - need some more for the east coast, though...

No tint at the back, and no lip on the front bar???? bit unusual, hey....

Yeah, kinda blew me away that there was no "privacy glass" in the back too, (first one I've seen like that)not to mention that the entire console is woodgrain too, including the gearshift facia. It has a few oddities about it but its super clean and the kids just fell in love with the roof mounted screen for the in dash dvd player, and I fell in love with the viper alarm and turbo timer. That'll be another few $$$ I can spend on mods..... :huh:

It also has a few bits 'n pieces that I haven't heard about before, such as a switch on the dash just left of the wheel that lights up a picture of the front and rear diffs on the dash, and it has the standard power switch on the gear console, but it also has a "snow" setting - WTF??? any idea's/explanations would be appreciated

ahhh.... been covered im not sure if i remember... The diff button locks the transfer case to 50/50, i believe, as oppose to all to rear unless lippages occurs, as the ATTESA system dictates.

The snow setting... beats me. Locks all four wheels for grip...? i know it was covered somewhere.

The power button is the same as on commodores etc.

maybe the back glass has been broken before and they put plain glass in instead of the factory dark stuff?

Thats what I thought, but there is no privacy glass at all - the whole car has that greenish tinged 99% uv tint and thats it - it will make it easier for the better half to reverse at night I suppose..

:huh:

Got it in one! Just my sad attempt at humor.......

I cant figure the car out, it has a fairly different trim in a lot of ways, but according to the sticky thread, it is an RS Four as far as I can figure and it does have the electric boot closing thingy. The main thing is its in great condition.

Look familiar? no window tint, no front lip. Different grille though (ill add that one of those grilles will be arrinving on my doorstep within the week).

This is from the stagea sales brochure, covering the rs, rsfour, and rsfourv.

I think that yours is like the newer ARX variant - no lip to add ground clearance or something like that, and no tint for better visibility...?post-24895-1164075709.jpgpost-24895-1164075792.jpg

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
