"So does that mean that stagea fronts will bolt on? Didn't you say it was the same as r33 ie need s14/15 front hubs? If its straight bolt on then im getting stagea setup!"

FFS yes Stagea front bolted on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said Stagea lower control arms appear to be the same length as s14 i.e couple of mm longer in reply to the guys question about wider stance

We used stagea front lower control arms so you dont have to do the Adz gay f*kn press in s13 ball joints or f*kn whatever

only problem is needing to use s14 coilovers in the front or redrilling out your s13 coils so it can take the s14 bolts

to me I'd rather use s14 or whatever you have's lower control arms and sort out the coils than the other way around seems much easier

Huddy all we did was use the stagea 5 stud hubs and rotors thats it didnt need touch the handbrake mech on the ceffy at all........ at all!

grr

No Adz no engine in Friday, Friday is a work day so Saturday afternoon maybe if Huddy's upto it will try and fit it

Edited by 1400r

told ya he wants to bang ya ryan LMAO ROFL - if u and the huddy need help il do what i can, and try not too hinder u guys as per usual, after all it is my specialty.........

il make sure my work hats on

as for why ryan is upset........is because he's quite simply posted what EXACTLY was used to convert the ceffy and still gets dumb ass *MILKSHAKES* asking him dumb ass questions

*recalls a dumbass g1 question*

*nathan g1 points at stagea cradle*

*nathan g1 points at tellys hicas rack on cefiro cradle*

nathan: are you going to put that *points at hicas rack* onto that? *points at non hicas cradle*

me: no we are not. as that is a hicas rack, hicas = bad.

nathan: oh... well these arms look adjustable are we transferring these? *points at hicas arms*

me: no, no we are not... they are evil also

Hmmm re drilling the coil holes doesn't sound to nice and RWC on a road car. But as long as the hubs bolt on im satisfied.

BTW if this doesn't work. I know where you work :blush: lol

Note: FS: R33 brake setup :ninja:

...and to this.

I don't know if it's because you are from SA that you could understand, but personally I couldn't quite grasp what he was trying to say with all the un-punctuated typing. So I thought I would clarify the situation before going out and spending $$$ on a new brake setup. I do apologise and will keep my "dumb ass questions" to myself in the future, even though I was sure this was a technically based forum.

Oh and one last thing....

STFU

konnect

i have done front conversion using s14 (which is same as stagea... has the 14mm bolt holes on the stub axles)

i used s14 coilovers in the front (i had the luxury of when ordering brand new ones from japan specifying my fronts are to have s14 bottom collars) but full s14/s15 ones will work in the front... but need to use r32/s13 coilovers in the rear

also i believe you can get away with just changing the front hubs rather than whole stub axles also (like you do on the rear)

i unfortunately didnt go down this path... i did full stub axle and r33 balljoints in lower control arms to fit the s14 stub axles

if i were to do it again id just put the hubs into the cefiro stub axles on all 4 corners of the car and remove the brake dust covers and fit my 33 brakes... but the way ive done it isnt bad - it just cost me an extra... 100 bucks for the balljoints in the lower arms

1 - no arms on the ceffy or stagea were adjustable and your making a whole bunch of shit up, however i did ask a dumb question that day and thats the only point il give u.

2 - your the one who F***d the whole thing up and the ceffy cradle was used anyway and the stagea hubs transfered coz u had no idea WTF u were doing

3 - im over it, its done......sayonara

    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
