What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[66yostagea]

Far Queue. I backed the R30 into the 25G. But I am lucky. The front guard I hit is the one with the rust hole in it and I have a spare guard, so no drama. But I have buggered the R30 rear bar.

Win some, loose some.

Finished CAD drawings for the M35 quick release front under tray.....now to get a quote for some 2mm thick cut on a CAD cutter Alloy!

I believe I'm expecting a photo of my Stagea in the mail from my good friends at SAPOL.

Ouch...

make sure you credit the photographer if you use it anywhere

LOL. That, or stock up on protein shake mix, depending on what side you're fighting for.

should i have it before bed??

craig are you going to make it one piece? or have 3 seperate ones like your template?

$339 delivered, they are nissan 370z injectors.

were they a strait fit and where did u get them from.

Don't you want some droop? It forces the wheels to maintain contact with the road when you go over a bump. Having too much droop is bad as this will force the car to raise when cornering too much (dependant on spring rates/shock rates etc.)

Yeah, I should clarify; as little droop as these shocks allow; which is still around 4ish inches.

I agree with you regarding droop helping handling but with the length of these shocks, I was actually more concerned about getting the shock running resonably central in it's stroke to allow a good amount of compression travel without bottoming out the piston assembly.

Yep same length and plug. eBay. They are listed as 450cc 370z injectors.

1 piece.......I will need to test fit on your car as well though to make sure that the one I do fits all.

I agree....I should be there the following 2 Wednesday nights anyway! Makes it easy to check over things.

I have a spare lying around, but it might be worth waiting to see Craig's "quick release" design.

oh as in yours lol you mixed the quotes around i think.

yeh Ill wait for craigs one..if it doesnt im gonna leave it, its alot easier doing a service, a quick release would be nice though

i think a large opening under the sump would be ideal. that way you could leave the rest of the undertray in position

yeh but i cant remember how the stock one is, isnt there a metal bit around the drain "hole"

Yep, and under the radiator drain too

[zei20l]

weird. mine just has a hole under the sump.

[Sunkist]

no metal??

perhaps it came off?

[zei20l]

maybe it fell off. more than likely did.

OR its a different design as mine is a 2001 model. stephens 2002 had a different undertray with metal supports in it.
