Hi Guys, I'm selling my WGNC34 Stagea S2 which I used as a heavy duty tow car to tow 2 - 2.5 tonne loads on a regular basis. I'm returning the car back to stock to sell it (unless if someone wants to buy the whole car).

I have available for sale:

Tow Bar

Heavy duty custom made tow bar with 50mm removable hitch and hitch receiver type arrangement. This towbar was custom built by Fast Fit Tow bars here in Sydney. Unlike the other towbar regularly referred to on this forum from Canberra, Fastfit rate this towbar at 2.3 tonnes, 200kg ball weight and have stickered the towbar accordingly making it legal. This is a one off custom build never to be repeated.

It is neat and tidy and the hitch arrangement is under the car and out of site. No cutting of rear bar required (it comes in neat and tidy under the rear dayz lip.

Tow bar has never flexed or moved or damaged the car using it to tow 2 - 2.5 tonne loads on a regular basis.

It is currently fitted to the car, so you can see how it is fitted, and you can be sure that it fits. We will actually remove it from the car if you decide to buy it.

Includes electrical trailer plug connector and wiring (it mounts off a neat plate on the tow bar).

Rather than including pics, it's best if you come and have a look at it on the car.

Price $1000 (it cost me almost $1400, about 5 visits to the towbar place and about a month to get finished).

Stagea Heavy Duty Lift Suspension

I have for sale a heavy duty suspension package custom made for me by wholesale suspensions here in Sydney. It is a one off custom build never to be repeated.

I found my stagea too low when towing heavy loads (I towed a 2 - 2.5 tonne car trailer or a 23 foot fibreglass boat).

Wholesale suspensions made me a package comprising:

Heavy Duty longer Bilstein rear shocks

New standard front shocks (Bilstein doesn't have anything longer than stock shocks for the front)

Higher spring rate heavy duty longer front and rear king springs

Front and rear of the car sit at about 400mm centre of hub to guard front and rear with the car FULLY LOADED with about 450kg of gear (about 200kg ball weight from the car trailer and about 250kg of gear inside the car (LPG system, tools plus 4wd recovery gear to get the rig in and out of tricky locations).

Less than a year old (custom made last year) and done less than 6000ks. No leaks, knocks or anything. Shock boots are still perfect (no rips or tears).

Cost me almost $2000 and about 5 visits to and from the shock to get the height right (kings had to keep remaking the springs by trial and error).

These are currently on the car, so you can trial them in my car and we will do the swap on the spot.

Looking for $1500 plus a trade for standard suspensions.

Brake Upgrades

Dixcel slotted rotors front and rear - done only around 6000ks
Purchased new from Greenline last year for:
DIXCEL PD Disc Rotor (Front) WGNC34 RB25DET 99 AWD (3212013 PD): 14,553 yen (Special)
Shipping: 25,100 yen
TOTAL: 39,653 yen AU$515

DIXCEL SD Disc Rotor (Front) WGNC34 RB25DET 99 AWD (3212013 SD): 21,483 yen (Special)
Shipping: 25,100 yen
TOTAL: 46,583 yen AU$605
Looking for $800 plus swap for non warped standard rotors that still have meat on them.
Currently on car, so you can see them before you want to go ahead and we will remove them and swap them.
Japanese Stainless Dump back exhaust (stainless front pipe) and stainless catback
Nice note (not tinny), nice volume - not too loud.
Still fitted on car, so you can hear what it sounds like before you go ahead.
Forgot the brand. Paid $1200 for it from Greenline. Looking for $800 plus swap for standard exhaust with no holes in it.
Currently on car, so you can see them before you want to go ahead and we will remove them and swap them.

Because of the size of the parts, pickup from Sydney only (I cannot arrange for these items to be posted interstate).

To find out more details on this stuff or to look at it, call Chris on 0490 091 303

Bump, I'm trying to get the car ready for sale within the next 2 weeks, so if anyone wants any towing gear in Sydney, now's a good chance to get it.

These are limited one off items that are not available off the shelf - lots of time and money went into getting these built.

Ben, I will send you some pics from my phone tomorrow morning when it's bright. Cheers

PS: I'm going to be taking the tow bar off the car this weekend so if you want to see it on car, this weekend would be best.

Cheers

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
