Nice tailgate window wing Mike. We were talking about these in the rare stag parts thread a few months back LOL.

Now just get some ganador mirrors on that PHAT RS! Sitting and looking very decent IMO.

damn that bottom under-window wing looks great!

attempting to fit longer wheel studs - wrong knurl size!!!

M12x1.25 50mm long studs with 13.75mm knurl wont fit

going to try 12.75mm knurl

expensive $100 mistake

Tangles, try the 50 mm nismo long hub bolts -I think 13mm, should solve your issue. You might also need longer open ended lug nuts.

Did you try front and rear? I was surprised to find they are different sizes per end.

BTW careful with the attessa controller, don't use 2wd mode if it has it

Installed 34 GT-R seats. Fit great and sit super low.

[Stagea_Neo]

Put my r34 rims on and freshly resprayed rear dayz bar.

(Actually did this Sunday morning around 1 - 3am after moving house,

car was at panel beater all week...stared at the rims in my garage for

5 days before i could fit em)

Got a dolphin (copy) grille to put in tonight, will post some pics.

Had a bit of a mild shift kit performed on Friday, learning curve over here as no-one really knows anything about the 401b boxes in WA

Ended up removing the 1-2 and 2-3 accumulators and replacing with welsh plugs, has actually made a nice difference. It's not really harsh and it just gets in to gear now, high rpm 1-2 change is still a little slow but it actually goes in without having to lift the gas slightly or bounce the limiter.

Also confirmed that when I put it in to 2WD mode there is NO preload in the transfer case.

With VCT working, it will now actually spin up in the dry on the brake (wouldn't even do it in the wet with no VCT).

Nicer 1-2 shift means it easily hit 2nd gear while doing a standstill.. could probably have hit 3rd if I wanted but it's only open centre for now..

2WD mode + nicer 1-2 shift makes for some interesting times in the wet

Next step is shim my old 32gtst diff up and throw it in, also getting the adjustable rear upper arms that were destined for the 32 fitted within the next 2 weeks.

Then it's on to Nistuning and sourcing some swaybars

Where did you end up taking it for the shift kit?

The previous owner of my Stag took it too Precision Automatics for a full, not soft rebuild. Shifts stupid hard even when putting around at 20km/h!

Global Automatics in Bibra Lake, I would probably call it a Stage 1 kit for marketing purposes.. on the hunt for a 34GTT box and I will loan it to them to sus things out in regards to shifting even harder. Could have spent more time on it but it's my daily and it seems nice for now.

Can take you for a drive if you want

/\/\/\/\ hells yeah i live in yangebup and that sounds exactly what im after, how much was it? i have a series 1 though so the box would be different.

Series 1's are just 401a (R33 and earlier) boxes and he can do whatever you want to those.

Series 2's are the 401b (R34) boxes and he's just learning about these, mine was the first he had worked on.

I won't quote what I paid as we didn't achieve what we set out to achieve so it didn't cost me much at all.

[horrace]

ok thanks for that, i wonder what a stage 1 on a series 1 would cost i might give them a call

Got two OEM Nissan keys (without electronics) delivered today & went and got them cut in my lunch break.. Will find out in about an hour if they work or not The sizing all matches up though. $33 per unit, plus delivery. fingers crossed, it'll be nice to not be quite so concerned about losing my keys

[Dunc]

News just in, they keys work

[Blizzerd]

Picked up my new stagea today

so pumped about it

[Tangles]

nice RS4S.

I got a 36mm socket to take off the rear left hub. Got to get it off to replace studs and foot parkbrake pad.

Cant budge it, phark! Letting rusteze soak overnight on the hubnut, then will attack again with a 6ft breaker bar!

Manual, many extras...good score!

[Tangles]

so damned hard to remove LHR hub.

got the 36mm hub nut off just now with huge torque (ie 115kgs of me leaning on 4ft breaker bar)

cant loosen the hub itself tho

hit it from all angles with hammer? how else to remove the hub itself? soaking in rusteze spray at the momeht

need access behind the hub so it must come off (only this one, other 3 wheel hubs will be fine on the car while replacing longer wheel studs)

must come off to install 50mm studs & new park brake pad.

suggestions?

Can you fit a puller to load it up then give it a hit?

[Tangles]

thanks mate for the suggestion. Looks like thats exactly what I need http://www.tridon.com.au/Products/Product....530&P=68973

have asked to borrow one from SAU:SA, we'll see what happens.

might have to plead to borrow one from my tuner if all else fails, who has shifted waaay out to whoopwhoop land

[SABBAi]

Blizzerd, Nice looking car. Pity about those eyelids. It looks like it has Dolfin sideskirts and rear bar. My guess is that the front bar was removed for RW as the dolfin fronts are pretty low....

I've just recently details my Stag inside and out. Yet to do the engine bay. LED's in all interior lights, Phillips Silver vision indicators front/rear and put dynamat on the floor in the boot. Yet to do the rear quarters, tailgate and doors.
