Buy the GTR cut Darrin and throw it in the Staj, you know you want to!

It is tempting, but I need to buy a Stagea first and do the 34GTR front conversion

Have the bonnet and headlights now, about to order the Masa guards next.

Porn, post up the pics when its done. I saw one in the flesh in Achiharbra, looked fantastic.

When I have all the parts and the car I will start a new thread with the progress

Will probably be around Febuary by the time a get a car from Japan. Need to sell my R33 which will be ready for sale in about 3 weeks. Blame the wife for the hold up!

Cheers chris,

I checked your one also while searching but it was a bit out of our price range.

Did you put in the new exhaust? What kind is it? Size etc...

Ive been trying to source some exhausts but they arent cheap.  :blink:

Nah I didnt put my exhaust on, its coming like that from Japan :D Exhaust is a Fujitsubo Legalis R... at $1100 new they certainly arent the cheapest of exhausts :O

I believe Alex has a custom catback for sale.....If I didnt already have one, I would probably buy it :D

Cheers,

Chris

Infact, i just got a random message from someone on monday about my exhaust, he is sending me a money order in the post as we speak.

Look in my thread about the fujitsubo exhaust, its really a damn nice exhaust. Four of us on this forum have that exhaust terminal, me, chris and muck...

The Stagea arrived today :)

WOW! what a car. I was very impressed.

I get my license back on friday and Im keen as to go for a drive in it.

(Also hell keen to take my R33 for a spin) :)

Checked out Alex's exhaust thread, some good info and the sound files are also handy :D cheers.

Im curious as to where you guys got them from?

Did you buy localy or import them?

Was the $1100 price for the back pipe and muffler or the whole system including cat and front pipe?

Are the front pipe and cat the same as R33 GTST?

Sorry, more noob questions :angry:

My Fuji was airmail from japan from www.revzone.com.au (also my tuning shop)

Was $1100 with a short wait

My cat was $440 (R33 GTST) on top of that and my single split front/dump was $395 (R33 GTST) and required a little bit of modification to fit ($50 worth, probably design issue being split)

So my total exhaust spend was $1945 + the $240 I lost on my first custom catback.

Good luck with it :angry:

Nice buy, gR33ddy!

Mine's dark green as well. You might have leather (which I would have liked, along with the twin sunrooves), but mine's been converted to manual by the previous owner!!!

Are you in Sydney? If that's the case, then we have to get a group together soon for a meet-up.

Cheers,

Sweet. Another green one and in NSW :D

We got the Auto for the missus.

She can drive manual but prefers the simplicity of the auto ;)

Im actually located south of Batemans Bay so probably a bit too far for a cruise unfortunately.

I think the nearest stagea to us is in either canberra or nowra?? not 100% sure but?

Anyone know how many stageas there are in OZ?

There's a few of us in canberra now, it's getting more populous. i think there is one located at batemans bay too, but not sure.

i think there were 300 plates issued in 2004, another 300 in 2005

Meh, oh well. A fair hike, indeed, but I am hoping to come to Canberra shortly to visit some family... That's probably the closest I'll get for a while.

I finally got to drive the stagea and was very impressed with it.

Should feel even better with the suspension/handling upgrade.

I noticed a scraping sound from the right font wheel/rotor area while drivng.

The sound gets faster as I drive faster.

The pads are new and the Rotors have just been machined.

Any ideas?? :)

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
