what can i say.. silver bumpers on a yellow Stagea don’t look "that bad".. or at least that's what my girlfriend told me as i looked at my car in disgust after putting them on

Its fantastic to see what you find when you take parts of the car off.. looks like the car has had a bad hoist experience :| (drivers side)

a big bad chain of events has lead to this.. but will give a good result i hope! basically i took the entire kit off to go in for repair this week (as every part of the kit has some sort of crack on it.. both from when it was in Japan and here in Australia :rolleyes: ) so the silver bumper bars have gone on the car to keep it on the road and driveable as it’s my daily car.. plans are to keep the rear bar and side skirts but sell the front bar (once its repaired) and the dayz guard flairs to make way for the R34 GTR front end and freshly repaired rear and sides..

i also just got my one of my wheels back from being repaired.. she has degenerated a fair bit :thumbsup: but everything is looking extremely bright for the end of the month :ph34r:

but its not all bad, i got a nice little surprise when i was taking off the rear bar.. i found this tool under the carpet :) (not the removable panel that covers the spare, but the panel that has 3 10mm's holding it down on the drivers right)

yup.. defiantly looks like a taxi :P that was my first thoughts when i saw it :( the colour match is horrible... i was thinking about getting the standard bars sprayed before installing but keeping it ugly is more motivation to get the work done faster!!

not sure who will be doing the work yet.. im going to take it around for quotes on weds..

it looks like its been "repaired" before :)

I’m going to get the entire kit professionally restored and strengthened (unlike whats been done before) so this sort of shit doesn’t happen again (at least for a while, who knows being fibreglass)

i got some strange looks driving today.. i can pin point the meaning of "wtf" down to the look one guy in a liberty b4 gave me today :( not enjoying this one bit

no one has jumped in the back yet! but i have my meter and 300% extra stagea charge ready :D

    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
    • If you do make them, im sure you would have a number of buyers.. Every GTR I've been in have rattly door windows
