Would it be enough to stop the volvo comments?

Never!! Driving a wagon slowly erodes the sports car driver view of life :(

That does look very nice though. Maybe time to have some kids and get a wagon :(

I went to envy imports in manly the other day enquiring about a stagea for myself.

They have one arriving in a week that looks exactly like this one, running full R34 RB26 with about 350awkw....

are selling it for about $59k.

Thats exactly what i want.

From the little I understand, it seems this is actually a fully engineered conversion using an R34 front cut. This page seems to support that. However, I have seen a pic that may suggest the quarter panels and arches have just been modified/flared to match the R34 GT-R front bar and lights...

Hello

The black one is a kit made by Masa as per the Masa sticker on the window.

The guards are not from a R34 as they are made to conform with the bodylines on the side and the front bar is a special item to fit as well. You will need to source a bonnet, front bonnet mech and the electrics if I remember correctly from an article in one of the performance mags.

I will have to see if I still have the mag for more info.

yes, the R34 front onto a Stagea is a kit - custom guards and front bar (I think original ba canbe modded to fit). R34 guards don't line up as the Stagea one's are about an inch lower into the engine bay. Orginal R34 lights, bonnet and bonnet latch mechanicals also required.

There will be one for sale in a couple of weeks - GTR front and driveline. :)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
