Just Bought Me A C34 Stag :d

[tchard]

Hi all, newb here.

I've loved the Stagea for a long time and have finally put a deposit on one. (currently getting RWC)

She's relatively stock, with a greddy cooler and turbo timer, hks pod, exhaust and coil overs.

Drives so smooth and no issues noted at all. (fingers crossed this isnt a lemon as I have limited car knowledge)

First thing I'll do is look at getting a Nistune, on the recommendation of a mate, to ensure power and economy is in check.

Any recommendation for tuners in Melbourne? I'm based in Footscray (not i'm not asian haha) and was warned against Chasers??

Also, looking at a front grill...

These guys alright? Or pain in the arse with shipping and customs??

welcome on board

Nistune can be a good start, but its not cheap if you don't have other plans for the future. On the other hand, if you are thinking about other mods in the future it is a smart place to start.

The other option to consider is sway bars and good tyres; they can make a big difference to how much fun the car can be

welcome

Thanks for the warm welcomes... Here's my new baby...

Body is straight and clean. Although the front sunroof, had the plastic cover in front of it and has left some marks, hopefully i can cut and polish it out (although I hope I don't completely butcher it!!)

Wanting to find some mesh for the front too, looks weird with a black mesh I think!

Otherwise, I'm over the moon

yeah my thoughts are that a tune will help her run smoothly and let me look at further mods (larger turbo mostly) or might even drop in a RB26DETT down the track... who knows!

Very very nice. but i would not waste my money and time chucking a rb26

You have a neo rb25 in there already almost identical head as 26 same rods all ya dont have is twin turbs and forward facing plenum. And just under 100cc of displacement. but you do gain vvt. better off spending ya cash on bolt ons for the neo ie turbo, cams injectors fuel pumps nisstune ect with a manual and the right set up you should touch 300rwkw any way.

Read in the spotted thread that you live on Ballarat Road which is like down the street from me.

I'm in Derrimut, there's also another white c34 cruisinig around station road a lot. Hope to see you around!

You've got the total package that i wanted! RS4s with Dayz kit and sunroofs!

my car knowledge is pretty poor at best... I'll start with a nisstune this month and then look at the rest going forward. 300rwkw? what about AWD?

Yeah I don't mind the wheels, but not a fan of the mesh in the grill. Time to shop around, ebay may be the best bet?

Well in that case, that makes me very happy! Haha

Also, going to Chasers Motorworks on Monday. Ordering in a Nistune board and also booking in my 90k km service with them.

All up, including service, supply of board and tune should cost me $1100. Hopefully they'll look after me... Cant wait to see the difference after a tune!
