I really dig these rims but I have doubts they will clear the front calipers. Look at the amount of space behind the face of the rim, there's not much clearance there for M35 calipers.

Actually I just found out those rims are made for Toyota Harriers. They have tiny calipers up front so my guess could be right.

Heres some pictures guys!

very nice!! glad to see there is another Aero Selection RX in the country! Most of them appear to be RS models.

was weird seeing yours with the 2 din console. that area SHOULD have been woodgrain, but looks like it has been swapped out to suit the double din.......

hey guys,

I put on my koya kahn 20" wheels today...looks really nice.

also bought an apexi air panel filter too.

My stagea also has adjustable coilovers front and rear....I realized tonight

that the rear has the shocker and coil separated..

The rear needs to be a tad lower...just wonder how to do this...never adjustabed coilovers before.

I will get a photos up soon! ;)

cheers michael

Most of the aftermarket suspension for the M35 stagea with an adjustable height is done through a threaded section at the base of the spring.

Have a look on the base of the spring.

Cheers

Most of the rear spring adjusters use C spanners, I have a few different sizes if you need to use one. Did the adjusting spanners come with the car in one of the rear compartments?

The threaded part will probably sit above the spring with 2 locking rings, just take the wheel off and wind it up.

Make sure the rear shock still has full travel and doesnt bottom out when you put the weight back on it.

thanks boys....I put new Pillar plastics in today i got from Japan...if anyone wants some that has tweeter spots you can get them off me cheap :D

as for the HKS muffler that will be for sale soonish....make me an offer...first reasonable offer i will accept and hold it for you :)

De-badge the rear tonight also...looks allot nicer!

Put in an apexi air filter too...found out its the same panel filter for s13,s14,s15 and skylines etc :)

thanks for the info on the coilovers too, I dont have any C spanners...cant find any in the boot, shattered!

Will a big flat head screwdriver work decent or f**k the slot on the locking tab? :)

You can bash away on your car with screwdrivers and hammers if you like :D , but you're better off to go and buy the correct tools for the job, c-spanners work so much better and don't damage anything.

Up to you really.

I'd measure the dia of the collars, and give just jap, otomoto or someone who imports coilovers a call, see if they will sell you the spanners. Most coilover kits seem to have very similar hardware, several different brands coming out of the same factories, I would be surprised if you can't get hold of something suitable. Alternatively, you can buy proper C-spanners,(forged steel, chrome plated), not just profile cut steel, from most reputable tool suppliers (not supercheap, etc).

lol no worries, anyone know any joints you can buy these from locally? autobarn or something?

cheers

I could make you a pair if you like, its just a bit of filing. Other than that, a good toolshop will definitely order them in.

I still don't understand why you can't start your own website?Like Stageaaustralia.com.This is a skyline website is it not?And no, i'm not joking

Ahhh..... If you don't like the idea of Stagea's on this web site why are you reading about them..?

So by your idea's all Nissan's that are not skyline's should not be on this web site.

I am glad the administrators of this site are not as narrow minded as you.

Maybe stageas with an RB in it is justified or we might as well start calling it nissanpathfinder .com

Great idea! Are you offering to set it up?

So are you saying the VL commodore is ok too, as long as its an RB30? Oh thats right the Patrol had the same motor.

Sorry we are taking up your valuable forum space Guvna, but if you refrain from clicking on the "Stagea" link, we will cease to exist.

So I suppose but that rational the R35 with its VR engine and no recognition of being a Skyline should not be on here either.

I never realized by allowing other performance Nissan's a site, it was hurting your poor little ego. You must have been put to shame on the raod by a M35 for you to feel so inadequate.

LOL.....TOSSER!!!!

Take your RB and shove it moron!. I suppose you went all over the rest of the forum slagging off other Nissan makes as well?

Why don't you go and start you own WEB page "www.simpleton.com.au" And no, I'm not joking!!!!!

Want to shit stir any more TOSSER? Or maybe you could start a "How my R33GTst was originally an auto and I just found out because I am an idiot post"

enough said......I'll report you to the moderators next time around.

P.S. Just a heads up....a couple of them own Stagea's as well.

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
