True.

There are plenty of very boring looking modified cars out there :P

I throw all my spare cash at my Z....

I'm sure in time I'll modify my Stagea - a front-mount would probably be the first port of call. But for now I'm enjoying it as is!

hey mcnamg i aint seen any on the streets except the ones in the cannington caryard.

we should get together one weekend and check out our stageas :P

prolly only be 3 cars but thats alright  :rave:

cheers

Brad

brad !

its gary here (olds live close to you, you know s14 blah blah)

ive jsut found this stagea part of the forum, been thinking about trading the s14 in on one and doing the 26 install. Went to see kris last week and he said you had bought one and was doing the same, i was steaming. hahahah thought it would be something original

anyway i wanna see your car, sms me or something - 0412 448 308

btw - i was looking on the cannington wholesale site not long ago, saw a nice 96 one with mags, zorst etc - bitch, that must be yours now hey ??

:)

lol....owning a stagea is an experience initself, for some of us it takes up a lot of our thoughts and wishes and you'll find any excuse to bring it to life. It's a bit of a guzzler but it makes up for it in performance, admiring looks and even pulls chikkkss :wassup:

i crashed mine but im well underway finding another one and if you think about getting one, just get it....

Silver, factory BBS alloys, rear spoiler, no sunroof(s), 100% stock.

 Only got it 2 weeks ago.

 I'll be trying to only drive it during the week & take out my DR30 or my Z on the weekends!

well i think i have seen yours then a few mounths ago driving past what use to be tarismo motors on main north east road

silver 98, black leather, twin sunroof, 19's, manual conversion with short shift kit, lowered and bilstiens, Profec B boost controller, 3 inch dump 3.5 inch cat back exhaust and plenty more mods to come.

mcnamg the photo in your avatar is a photo taken of my grille on a cruise before the work was done.

Cheers

I've got one as well, had it for a couple of months.   Ben, what colour is yours?

rsfour, have you got an exaust on your beast? i recon i saw you a month ago on south road, heading towards town. gave you a wave and beep! it was a red one anyway....first one other than mine that i have ever seen!!!! awesome work!

three for adelaide :D

Well I have my red beastie its great looking at doing a couple of things to it. it's a bit dicy on the fuel econ. :D

I have seen a couple in brisbane and one silver one with a sheila driving it in Toowoomba

rsfour, have you got an exaust on your beast? i recon i saw you a month ago on south road, heading towards town. gave you a wave and beep! it was a red one anyway....first one other than mine that i have ever seen!!!! awesome work!

three for adelaide :D

Yeah, that was me. You had the silver one right? There's also a green one with white mags that I was looking to buy, so that's four. I see you just had yours dynoed, does that mean that mods are on the way?

Cheers

cool -rsfour, that was you! classic. hey have you seen the one in the paper? is that the green one? 24 grand or something, 26000 k's.

yep, mods are on the way! just as soon as money is on the way :D hehe

definatley gonna get an exaust this year, but am really looking forward to new suspension. have you had much done to yours?

Doug, the one in the Trading Post is the green one, its been in there for ages. I took it for test drive about four months ago and the tacho was reving past 9000RPM!! Either an electrical fault or km's been tampered with. Also, I wasn't too crazy about the colour.

As for mods, only minimal at this stage; cat-back exhaust, pod filter, AFR. I'm on the lookout for a front/dump pipe, some people I've spoken to don't think a Skyline one will fit so I might have to get one made up. I'm in the middle of fitting an earthing kit on at the moment. I doubt it'll enhance the performance though:(

hey daniel, let me know what you find out about the dump pipe. im thinkin i might do the same, but start off with a cat-back. did you notice much of a differnce?

apparently earthing kits can improve performance, had you had any problems with ignition or anything?

as for that green one, i was also slightly suspicious of the low k's, it would of cost a fortune to buy!!

Doug, I'm not sure about how much difference it makes as it was on the car when I bought it. The green one is the only other one I've driven and that felt slower.

The difference in sound however is something else, I find myself downshifting every time I approach traffic lights.

As for the front pipe I'm considering this one for $220 delivered to Adelaide: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=54148

The guy selling them reckons it'll fit.

Cheers

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
