Decided to upgrade all the belts on my Stagea. Got a complete set of Gates belts coming: timing belt, water pump, ps pump, alternator. Guess what I'm doing next weekend? :)

Shopping around online, but can't find:

air diversion plate for grille-radiator for Stagea

cold air panel for pod filter for Stagea

Anyone know of a shop, person or sheetmetal mob who has or can make them for a Stagea?

Might just make a template up using cardboard if thats how everyone else has done it.

:(

That would be your best bet, i think i'll end up doing that to mine when i get around to it.

I saw Chad's (dstroy) set-up in his 32 and looked pretty cool, couple pieces of sheetmetal, welded together, one or two pipes running from front bumper vent, up through to under the pod, then enclose it, or even making it detatchable..

well look what i just found browsing around... lol

when one side skirt just isnt enough

Classic example of spending $$$ to make a car look worse than a bog standard car.....

Yep, can make a carbon fiber one Ruby, but not just cardboard template, actually use a mold to make it fit perfect for your exact car. just need some time to do it..lol

love this comment from adelaide now

The biggest revenue-raising fixed camera is located at the intersection of South Tce and West Tce in the city. Last year motorists caught speeding by the camera were fined a total $1,501,423.

So far this year, 73 people have died on the State's roads compared with 46 at the same time last year.

hmmmm seems the cameras dont save lives after all do they....lol

Has anyone else noticed that nearly all of the road deaths this year have been country/highway? So how are all the 50km/h speed limits, speed cameras and defect blitz's helping slow the road toll?

Perhaps Mike Joke Rann and his cronies should address the actual problems here ....

How long would that take? And what would the cost be? Interested in doing something 'different' :(

So they're claiming approx 5,900 motorists ran those lights? Thats approx 16 cars per day? I call BS.

Also, think of the number of emergency vehicles (fire/ambos) that contantly run those lights, being a major link to the south and south-west.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
