I put up some photos finally. They're in my album.

I recently added the Dolphin front bar (off ebay), and an HKS Silent Hi-Power (from Just Jap). Everything else is how I bought it (already had the Dolphin Grill and eyelids)

Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys,

Yeah, I'm a little on the fence about the eyelids too, might photochop it to see what it looks like without them.

The engine just looks like a regular NEO 6, but I took off the coil/plug cover to keep it a bit cooler. Are they CE-28N's, Grant. Hot!

Exhaust is nice, very deep at low revs turning into a nice growl higher up. It's probably loudest around 1500-2500rpm. Made a big difference, smoother, bit more power, turbo spools quicker. Looks sweet too.

I paid 25G, and now I've spent $1500, uh-oh starting to snowball.

I'd like to get some R33 GT-R wheels, black powder-coat, I think would be the goods. And probably lower it and inch or so, too.

Who's going to the show/shine day at Merrylands? Is that confirmed yet?

R33 GTR wheels definitely look tough on a Stagea, even unpainted! Sydneykid has them on his s1, and he also just happens to have developed a full suspension kit which might suit your needs. I'll be saving towards this soon enough, myself.

I'm going to be at the Show and Shine - I'm actually helping to get it all up and running. We're in the final stages of planning now, and it will all be announced shortly.

Looks sweet. I usually like eye lids personally and want to get some myself but I agree they just don't seem to suit. I don't know if its because its a series 2 or it doesn't blend with the grille / front bar. Not sure, but strange 'cause I usually like them. I hadn't seen them on a series 2 before though. Otherwise it looks sweet. Congrats. Also is it just me or do the lids look a little off shade to the rest of the paint. Maybe thats it. Love the grille though too.

I've taken the eyelids off now. I think the cars looks a lot better for it too, much smoother. And yes, they were a different white than the car, they didn't have a pearl on them either.

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
