Think i know which r34 you're talking about...full Altia kit? like, high wing and stuff? Nice looking car. Imported by the same guy who imported mine. Has an eye for them :P

Nah,stock standard,body wise.Just a nice set of chrome rims and lowered a bit...I think it was a NSW rego;SHE-771,maybe?Really nice,eitherway:the design crew that did the R34 series got it right!

Jayce: Wine Red? or is it burgundy, or are they the same colour?

I'm pretty sure Wine Red is the name for the colour we're thinking of.

Wine red sounds spot on!I think that would cover "burgundy",too:you've hit the nail on the head!!It's probably the most popular colour,in my eyes anyway,for the R33 GTS to be spotted in...between that and white,it wouldn't suprise me if they were the highest number manufactured,colour-production-run-wise.

spotted a wine red Stagea on Isabella drive/rd (forget the name) yesterday afternoon

I've seen a red Stagea around Hyper D a few times (could be the same one). I think they pick up a kid from the college some arvo's..

Been tempted to try and catch up with them to have a look at their Stagea cause I'm looking at buying one... They look nice :)

No, there are.

Besides, it may be from before SEVS.

The normal Stagea is called the RS Four by the way.

Jay, i've also seen this Wine Red example around Tuggeranong, i got so excited about it, mum didn't quite understand why.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
