Yep, those wheels are AVS Model 5's.

Tom, Duncan has those same wheels on his "Volvo."

I love the gear-shift boot and steering wheel (R34) that's on that car. Seats are NOT the factory leather jobs, as they're not electrically adjustable.

But ....but .... its only single turbo.

If that had a RB26 under the hood, I'd be impressed. Dunno why, but I've never been a fan of the Bayside Blue myself.

The only thing that I like is the R34 front conversion. So tempted to do it myself, but being a perfectionist, I wouldn't go the fiberglass job, it would have to be the real thing. Maybe a R34 wreck (rear ended) and use the genuine R34 front.

Its fun to dream :(

indeed, you'd have fun mating the stagea and 34 front guards together, don't think it would be a simple cut and attach job.

that's the reason they go fibreglass, a lot easier to get the required shape and style.

not a fan of the bayside blue either.. i liked the yellow one (mental blank, cant remember who's it was)

The leather seats look like seat covers to me.

Personally I would never buy anything from JAD.

Still with this one I don't have to! :)

Looks like a Std RS4V to me by the door inserts and manual seats.

I don't think that an R34 front is worth that much.

Why do they always stick those GTR badges in the grill, it sure isn't a GTR and never will be!

That posses an interesting question. Do you, or anyone consider the 260RS version of the Stagea a GTR?

Its an interesting one, in that sure its not a GTR as released by Nissan. (I guess the argument ends there) but a RB26, GTR running gear and so on, why couldn't it be rated as a GTR? Not geuine of coarse, but a GTR wagon? Could the 260RS be rated as a GTR wagon? And if so, is it in bad taste to put GTR badges on a 260RS? with or without R34 front end conversion.

I own a 260RS, and no, I havn't put GTR badges on it :) but I do consider it a GTR, and if anyone asks I tell them its a GTR wagon.

Right/wrong or somewhere in between? ....

unless it came from the factory called a GTR, then no i wouldn't consider it to be one.

even a gts-t with 26, full gtr running gear etc, i wouldnt consider a true gtr, it's all in the VIN.

much the same as the phase III's, etc. only fetch big bucks if they are genuine, not replica's.

that said, you can do what you like, it's your car! :)

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
