where did you source the kit from was it local (ie perth)

who installed it (you or a tuning house)

I will get some tomorrow and post them on my site.

did you need to modify any of the mounts or move anything under the bonnet

We put it back to standard for compliance then bolted it back in a couple of hours and we wernt rushing.

where did you source the kit from was it local (ie perth)

It came with the car but is standard Blitz Stagea kit avialable through most shops, email [email protected] for a price as that is who I get my bits for my car from if they suit Stagea only, I have some body bits coming.

who installed it (you or a tuning house)

We put it back our self, bit of fairing was already cut out, I will get photos off Jeff at C-Red's car and a standard one tomorrow to show difference.

can you get more

Most Japanese Manufactures make kits to suit the WAGON,

how much

Well price varys and yes you do pay for what you get, I will get some prices through some contacts to set a group buy, but I am 100% sure R33 will fit.

Dont worry ask away, because I deal with the complyier and I think they are the best car at the moment so I know a bit about them.

We will pass our RAWS on a Toyota tomorrow but I still drive a Stagea and it will only be sold for an Autech Version.

:)

Anytime and dont forget to remind me.

To put a end to it all the r33gtst autobarn88 kits fit stageas.

I have 1 on my car its just like fiting it to a r33.

U need to make longer lower brackets and the hole is in a slight dif spot.

I would be careful with ur mods on s1 stageas thow.

I have found out that the ecu dose not really like to have changes. I talked to Cred in perth au and was told a good mod for s1 is to

add a piggy back ecu to the stock ecu like haltech platinum sport 2000.

The stock ecu in s1 controls every thing including the auto fit incorect will cause lots of probs. Was told the stock ecu is the shitty ecu on eney rb

The gain is eney where from 30 to 40 hp on stock motor and 50 to 100ks per tank

I think in the 7 years since the last post we have sorted out the intercooler options :thumbsup: . And yes S1 ecus are hard to chip - Greddy E-manage or Haltech are options or stick in a manual box and a Link!!

I just had a just jap kit put in my car, can't say exactly which one as I got it used of another forum member but yeah it bolted straight in only had to have a small chunk of the reo bar cut out to make it fit, pretty sure it's one of the cooling pro stealth kits which go for about 300-400 bucks, they aren't as pretty as blitz etc kits but it does the job and the engine bay looks very close to stock

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
