StageZilla,

A few questions, does your Stag have a bodykit? Was the whole conversion process worthit? If you dont mind me asking, how much was it all up?

Cheers

hey mate well it has only a front lip on the bottom of the stock spoiler and a rear lip on the rear bumper, i need some side skirts though :) the trims on the doors and rear bumper are painted silver same as car where as stock they are black plastic bits.

process was definately worth it as its a sleeper and its a gtr in one :) (except the added weight), it goes bloody hard and snapped axle recently and still sorting gtr diff install.

cost is too much haha i had engine and autronics ecu, etc etc from previous car but from beginning to end i have worked out to buy everything outright is about 45K and thats NOT any labour.

thats with all mods etc, making 350rwhp with a few less mods so about 370rwhp now and 2530 turbos to come (then im hoping for 450rwhp or so) :uh-huh:

the rb25 auto doesnt compare to the rb26 manual i can tell you that :crazy:

thats about it

thanks ;)

    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
