my personal experience with them has not been that great. personally I think they are very overpriced for what they are. some people seem to love them though. for 30 man you could have either got something better imo or saved some money and gotten something just as good from another maker.

Sorry I kept you waiting for 2 days for a response, especially one that you knew was coming;

not many people make stagea specific parts

What so special about Stagea specific track springs and shocks?

Let's break it down to the individual components ;

Eibach make proper race quality coil springs in ID's from 50 mm to 75 mm, in rate increments of 25lbs/inch from 100 lbs/inch to over 3,000 lbs/inch. So you simply select the appropriate rate from that range, nothing Stagea specific there.

The top and bottom spring seats and the other coil over hardware are generic parts and a number of manufacturers (Bilstein, Koni, Eibach etc) have a range to suite the chosen spring diameters. Nothing Stagea specific there either.

The front shock body is dimensionally the same as R32/33/34 GTR, you simply select the valving to suite the spring rates you have chosen. Making sure it has a range of adjustment that covers all possible rate changes. Keeping in mind that the front swaybar is a spring as well and so it's rate has to be included in the damping requirement. Nothing Stagea specific in any of that.

The rear shock body is dimensionally the same as R33 GTST or R33GTR/R34GTT/R34GTR depending on which upright (hub) you are running. Once again you simply select the valving and adjustment to suite the range of spring rates you have chosen. As with the front, the rear swaybar rate has to be included in the damping requirement. Nothing Stagea specific in any of that either.

Keeping all of the above in mind, I can't see any need to suffer with an unsophisticated overpriced spring/shock combo as none of it is Stagea specific.

Cheers

Gary

    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
    • Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.
    • I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too
    • Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance
    • Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
