ROFL i pulled my dump/front pipe off using only 2 hydraulic jacks and 2 car stands.....and a good hour of f!@#ing around figuring out how to unbolt off the turbo lol ...the two on top and bottom closest to the guard is easy to take off, jsut use a breaker bar :P only real need for the hoist is to unbolt off the cat (piss hard BUT do-able when chassis is an inch off ur face!) hardest one to get to will be the middle one on the side of the turbo facing the block.

it WILL be hard for a first timer, but definitely do-able! i should make a bet too lol trust me you might be sore and bleeding off ur face but you wont regret giving it a shot! really good learning experience (and yes i did hit myself in the face with a spanner......)

I bet you $135 by the end of it you'll wish you paid someone :)

so how bout that $135??? :D

2 hours and with help from a mate didnt use a hoist we ended up using jack stands and ye now its all installed. car sounds so much better and goes a bit nicer to :P

so ye Adz want my account details??? lol

We used a friends hoist as well for the 32, and I can tell you now that after all the freakin pain trying to get the zorst off and new one on, I would be more than happy to pay $135!

Jacking up the 180 about 1m at the back just to change a catback.. also pain in the arse.

You just never know how many 15yr old bolts you're going to snap til it's too late..

I even snapped my brittle radiator drain plug once.. luckily we have 2 other (Nissan) cars here with the same size plug :P

so how bout that $135??? :)

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
