I'd be keen to see a Stagea section, and I'd be just as keen to see a Stagea in the flesh - I wouldn't mind buying one in the future if they're nice and practical... I'm sure the section will become more relevant as the Stag becomes more popular (and I hope this is more an issue of "when" rather than "if").

They'd make a nice sleeper.

Has anyone seen how good they look with R-34 GTR mags on them? Brisbane Street Machines have a dark blue one for sale, and the wheels really set it off well!:

Pics please, SydneyKid

Its got the factory Autech wheels on it. +35s on the front and +20s on the rear.

I'll get the exact rim/tyre size tomorrow.. you can't go very big on them unfortunatley as the guards won't allow it. ;(

Factory kit, wheels etc with a inch or so taken out of ride hight.. looks cool!

Will post some pics when I get time.

Few liitle mods we've done to it like R32 spring in the transfer case.. = RWD on demand. r33 has a percantage of drive tot he fronts at all time which means cooked cases with the the fuse out.. R32 spring allows it to be 100% RWD

Pics please, SydneyKid Nick T.

No problems, Nick. It is supposed to be on the transporter tomorrow. A few days in the panel shop to touch up the scratches and paint the white door blue. Thank's to the totally illogical DOTARS beaurocrats.

did you change the door with the different intrusion bar???

i think stagea should have its own permanent thread... i had put that in suggestion section ...before i found this thread...which is my point really

we need our own ...please

[Jay95R33]

Good to see you got the door problem sorted out SK.

[Sydneykid]

did you change the door with the different intrusion bar???

Yep, found a white one the same as the other 3, except the car is blue. In trying to find an upside for spending $1K for no good reason, the only one I can find is gives me an excuse to fix up a few of the little scatches and bumps a 7 year old car picks up. While the blue paint is in the gun, so to speak. :uh-huh:

Thanks to DOTARS I have had to replace a rear door with stronger intrusion bars that complies to the later (tougher) standard, with a door that complies to earlier (less tough) standards. I don't know about you, but that makes absolutely no sense to me. :confused:

Enough bad news, the good news is it is on the truck and will be here early next week.

No one has the crush test ADR 29 for the later model yet...which means another stagea ..later model will have to be destroyed...

their farkin mad :headspin:

SK, my friend has just brought in a red '97 Stagea. It has stock R33 GTR rims on it, I'll try and get a pic of it

I'll post some pics of my 97 blue stagea

stock wheels

K&N panel

stock exhaust

stock suspension - bilsteins & springs soon (anybody got info on springs)

2 sunroofs

satellite nav (useful if I ship the car back to japan and drive it around there :wassup:

No compliancing issues, from MJR Motorsport in Brisbane.

Is sydneykid doing his own ??

Was going to get the NEO version, but was worried about DOTARS compliance as most people were doing the pre NEO versions. I was glad I didn't go for the NEO as it would probably still be in the shop.

Very pleased, comfortable sleeper. A bit slow off the mark but 100-140kph acceleration is very good indeed. Just needs

firmer suspension

a bit lower

decent 17" R34 wheels would be really nice (any offers ?)

decent exhaust (3")

decent intercooler and a little bit more boost (10lb)

would like 160KW at the wheels, but will need more mods

cheers

Would really like to get hold of some Autech wheels for my stagea, (97 RS-FOUR, no autech, but working on it :Bang:

have you got them for sale ??

[Sydneykid]

How wide are the Autech wheels, I have a couple of sets of 17 X 8's as they are the same as we use on the race cars with 245/45/17's on them. They should fit, OK? :confused:

No, definitely not doing my own compliance. The paperwork (and dealing the beauroKraps) would drive me crazy. :headspin:

Have you had yours on the dyno yet Michael? I am wondering how much they loose through the auto and 4wd.

My target is 200 awkw :burnout: , I have ready to go on;

GCG ball bearing hi flow turbo

Split dump

Hi flow cat

3" exhaust

Autospeed (Norgren valves X 2) boost controller

Pipercross panel filter

CAI

Exhaust camshaft pulley

Plus .............

Konis (as soon as I work out if they are R33 or R34 or neither) :boinkcar:

Front and rear stabilser bars (I think the R33 GTR ones fit).

I will design up a HICAS eliminator and get our race team fabricator to machine one up out of billet aluminium (same as we have on the R32's).

SAFC from Negun is on its way.

Hope the brakes are up to it, if not I will dig up a set of R33 GTR callipers (front and rear) and a set of DBA slotted rotors. Plenty of good pads lying around from the race cars, that should stop it. :aroused:

I am getting carried away, aren't I? :jump:
