Hey guys, fairly new to the forum and im about to purchase my first Stagea.

First of all after seaching for awhile i found the perfect Stagea for my likes, full aero kit, front mount intercooler, twin sun roofs, 3" exhuast ect. When the importers i bought it from took it to get registered it was involded in a very low impact accident and the front aero bar was damaged.

Would anyone be able to tell me what bar this is? And is it possile to get my hands on one (ive bee told there extremely rare)

Also what bar have they replaced it with?

This is the only bar ive seen available thats simlar, only thing is its for a S2 and im not sure if it will fit a S1.

Also i've currently been looking at Apexi Power FC's. From what i've read i can use any Apexi Power FC aslong as its from a rb20, rb25 or rb26. Can anybody confirm this? And any links to threads to use a rb20 or rb26 on a rb25 would be appreciated.

Thaks guys and yes i know theres a search fuction but i couldnt find what i was after.

All body kits are rare. Aeros more so than Dayz for example but being in NZ I don't really know what is availble in your neck of the woods.

Apexi PFC is generally considered incompatible with autos so unless you are lucky enough to have a manual then you are looking at piggy back units to control boost (e.g. IEBC) mixture (SAFC or DFA) and timing e.g. SITC

Under the DIY heading (furher up the list in this forum) you will find good reading in the Jaycar thread and in the "FYI Piggybacks"for a start.

There are guys that have fitted the Apexi PFC and they can give you more advice but I think you have to carefully match the PFC to your car's ECU of which the Stagea has several variants.

Good luck

Ok for starters it confusing, which front bar are you after. If your car is the one in the second pic (considering it matches your advatar) then its a Nismo front bar. I have the full Nismo kit on mine. Nismo copies are easy to get a hold of. I got mine off AMS on this forum but Monkey Warehouse / DMD here in Brisbane supply them so call them. If its the one of the other 2 pics your looking for no idead but look up WGNC34 on www.importmonster.com under front areo and you might be lucky, but freight will be expensive and you'll have a wait. Unless you wanna fork out mega bucks for EMS shipping.

As for the power fc and other questions PLEASE do a search and don't be lazy as many topics have been covered here on this. But I'll tell you this....its not as easy as your thinking :D

Good luck.

Hi Jay,

I have done some research, and have found your original front bar: It is by Abflug: very good quality/high end brand... it can be seen on the Abflug demo Stagea in Hyper Gear Vol 38 (c34 Stagea edition), pages 52 and 103.

It's a real shame that one was damaged: they are very expensive, and hard to get!

I doubt very much you will find another for reasonable money...:(

Hope that helps...

Thanks heaps man, found there website and they seem to be available still.

Help, I want one of those grills, where can I get one fairly quickly? The Stagea is going in for some paint work finally, the DAYZ side skirts, so it's a good oportunity to get a grill painted at the same time.

Cheers

Gary

Jay you're going to hate me with a passion when you see my car....

I have Abflug front bar and Abflug side skirts. :D

To answer your question - your new bar is a Nismo item.

The red car you're looking at has a Takeros bodykit on it - There are S1 versions floating around on Yahoo Japan, finding one is hard.

One kit I can suggest is the M34 Masa Motorsports kit as they make it for S1's and S2's and the frontbar in the kit has the same 'snow plough' concept with huuuuuuuuuuuge intercooler duct.

My question to you now - can you take some pictures of your rear wing please? i'm curious to see what type it is.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
