Ill be getting 15 grand + i alrdy have a couple of grand saved just from working so i got that covered if i get it and there is stuff wrong with it, but i did want that money for mods lol. I may be on my P's but its not like i work at hungry jacks, ive got a good job that pays extremly well :D

Wow i probably wouldnt of seen that P if u didnt point it out LOL ah well looks good enough, i dont want that P plates that go around the number plater or the magnet ones cuz they are just flat out ugly >.>

theres a nice loooking black for sale for 14g but it hasnt got the sunroofs :thumbsup:

If i buy one without a body kit where in adelaide would sell a boky kits for a Stagea? has anyone brought a new body kit plus had it sprayed so i get a rough idea of how much it will cost?

I think u need to work out what you mean by body kit. The dayz one has the dayz kit on it obviously. I found I enjoyed sunroofs after getting in the 260, just wait til one pops up! Viva garage do kits, seem to b hit and miss tho

I think I heard the fit isnt always 100%? But I cant confirm that either way, Ive got an M35 so their kits are of no use to me but its a starting point for you. Their prices dont seem too bad either http://www.vivagarage.com.au/cart/index.php?c=93

What do u mean by when one ''pops up''? lol dosent sound to good. Yeah with the Dayz body kit ive seen 2 with the dayz kit and they arnt even the same one has a bigger rear spoiler then the other.

yeah i had a look on Viva the kit i like which i think was the Series 2 MS but there out of stock, i didnt realise they were in SA lol. So u mean that i could buy it and it wont even fit the car properly? How can they promote it on the car then lol

Wouldnt know how much to paint them?

And damn that stagea is nice!! but i need an auto dude :thumbsup:

MS style is a Masa motorsport copy

I bought the Viva rear bar and side skirts

Both side skirts were too short and had to be cut and lengthened

The rear bar was 15mm too short on each side and had to cut and lenghtened

Ended spending approx 40 hours modifing them to fit and fix the all the bubbles and pin holes plus they were very poor quality f/glass and heavy.

I would be looking somewhere else.

I think there is some pic's in my build thread somewhere

Oh ok wow lol guess that rules them out then. Is ther anywhere else that makes them and would maybe post them? I tryed to have a look at masa but was japanese lol

Also just another quick question. FMIC are they easy to install onto a stagea? I hear somewhere that FMIC arnt legal if u have to cut anything on the car to make them fit?

where abouts down south do you live mate? i'm down at aldinga if ya wanna go for a squirt in a fairly stand rs4v stagea. just an exhaust and a bit of boost. but it'll give you a good idea on what to expect.

Or if you can make your way to the Regency Park area, I can take you for a squirt in a 204awkw manual Stagea. :D

As for Viva bars ... I bought my Viva Aero type M front bar from them and it fit fine. Just take your time and trial fit it a few times to ensure you get the mounting right. If you're in a rush, then of course it won't fit properly. But maybe I got lucky with the bar. Rest of my kit is Dolphin for skirts and rear. :P

That would be awesome guys. least then i can see the difference between a pretty stock one to a more worked one, im not asking to drive ur car or anything just to go for a quick spin cuz ive never been in 1 before :P

I live at Seaford Rise, so when ever u guys rnt busy :D

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
