Looking At Buying A Stagea

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Im just looking around at buying a Stagea. What are my options with models and things? Should i buy something already modified or get a stocko then modify myself. What sort of power can the driveline handle??

I know the 260rs is the GTR version would it be cheaper to replace the 2.5 with a 2.6 after purchase?

How much power are people making with there wagons??

What is the weight difference over a R33 gtst??

Any info would be appreciated

Cheers,

Rob

Replacing the RB25DET with an RB26DETT isn't as simple as replacing the engine, you need to go deeper, replacing suspension, driveline and electrics. If you want the GTR power, get the Autech version, otherwise stick to the standard RB25DET version.

Fo Shiz if you want a manual and rb26 buy the autec and save yourself a fortune.

We went down the Rb25 to Rb26 route, and I could have bought a 260RS for the cost of the conversion. To be fair, we had ours modified at the same time, but in hindsight it would have been enourmously cheaper to have bout a 260RS in the first place.... I'm still trying to source a manual guage cluster and centre console.....

Cheers for your info.

Also, how hard and at what cost to change to a R34GTR front end? Will this fit on any model stagea?

I will have a look for this modified one

RS4S is the factory manual with Neo RB25DET with R33 GTR running gear, ie gear box, drive shafts and suspension bits.

worth a look if you want a manual and may want a lower upfront cost than a 260RS

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Where is the best place to buy 1? ie: what dealer or broker and what year is the RS4S??

[wolverine]

RS4S is a series 2 stagea.

so more or less late 98 onwards.

J-Spec, Prestige etc are worth talking to.

EGA4IT spent forever trying to sell his one locally (finally did), they appear from time to time at auction in japan.

the R34 PowerFC will run these with very little modification.

Cheers for all your info.
