i need to get a better photo but the wheels sit pirfectly and looks sweeeeeet with a spot of camber.

running about 2.5deg camber in the rear now

i have clearence in all direction, a nice ride height and i have taken a few corners and large roundabouts hard and she sticks like a trooper.

a little toe and caster and it feels much more planted at speed which is good. once i get the swaybars in i think i will be happy with the feel of the ride :)

i understand what your saying kiwi, but yeah its still a daily not a race car, i dont think i have done anything overly stupid or dangerous or disprespecfull to other dirvers and so on, if i was to track it or anything i would set it up differently and im happy to have the custom adjustment to do so, some people wont like the look but i love it and im finally happy with the fitment of my car, just annoyed that Varrstoen dont do anything lower than a +12 offset and im forced to use spacers. i would be chuffed it i could have gotten -10, maby for future wheels.

i know the tire wear is increased and i will probably get about 12000km flip them over and another maby 10000km then i need new rears.....and at $100 a pop im not fussed TBH

will get better photos up soon

Hung over and productive sunday

Picked up a pair of Stagea Impul front seats with rails of a fellow stag owner (dunno if he is on here)

if you are, sorry man was not talkative being quite hungover, but chears.

happy to get these because it allows me to have better seats with a deaper bucket but matching fabric so they blend in nicely like they came with the car.

Firts off it was good having reason to pull the seats out and clean under there....damn filthy.

lucky for me the carpets are still in really good condition

ok so this is the comparison, much better looking seat and although it doesn't really show it in photos, they really do hug you allot more.

they still need a good clean but so do allot of things, ill let the detailers do that soon enough.

the seating position is also lower, not crazy low but im definatly down a good inch or two

IMG_3730_zps2da7188b.jpg

the fabric is in good condition and they look good in the car. im stoked with them

Nearly grabbed those seats of gumtree when I saw them for my stocky:) good price from memory just one of the bolsters needs a bit of re padding , those seats have a bit of a history been through a few stagea's now, looks good

I removed my leather electric seats (even less support than rs4s seats) and replaced them with the recaros so much better to sit in as you have just found out ;),just got to chuck in the takarta harnesses and fix a slow leak in the passengers side air lumber support , should be some really nice stags out on the next s.a cruise , my mates just quickly done up a rs4s over the last couple of weeks too ,wheels, coilovers, hyper gear turbs, fmic turbo back exhaust, nistune h/d clutch , c/f bonnet, just cams and injectors to go

My recaros (stagea option)

ok so it seams i need to continue my hunt for a decent headlight sealant. the cleaner i use is great but the supposed sealant in it...did nothing

IMAG2316_zpsdfe0y8jl.jpg

also the new light i bought due to the old one getting water inside.....now has f**kign water inside.....f**k

IMAG2315_zps0wexbnxf.jpg

also removed inner guards over the front wheels to fine tweak the suspension. how she now sits and will stay.

haha thanks man, these pics just remind me how much more room i have for poke and lowering.

sooo many things i want to do to the car, it just looks to me like "look at all the stuff im missing" ha

so my list of things to do visually are:

Days rear bar ad-on with black center

days carbon fiber frotn bar center cover

sideskirts of some description

dolphin front grill (still undecided)

dressy wheel nuts

twin chrome exhaust tips

eyelids

fix rust

slimline roofrakcs with thule wind deflector

also i have a colour scheme which i have admired since it blew up on the "scene" which will be the following

wheel nuts

brakes

rotors

engine bits

some subtle stickers

all in turquoise .... i.e...

combine these with some carbon fiber bits with my grey such as front bar inserts, wing maby...will look porn in my eyes

mintcollage_zps40caa34e.jpg

I could be of assistance with the Dayz rear lip. PM me for details if interested.

BTW, Nice rig

Seriously concidering importing on of these

i would get it in white with turquose lettering

IMG_3202.jpg

lettering in this colour instead of black

IMG_3241.jpg

maby even a neachrome center

IMG_3986.jpg

if only it didnt loose my airbag and essentially make it illegal.

would go well with my intended colour scheeme of white grey and turqoise.

what do you think, should do it?

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
