Hello Guys,

Thought i would drop by and say hello as there is alot of good info on this site :D

I will be using this as my daily / tow vehicle for my S15.

Car was stock when it came over from japan. So far i have fitted my ebc and a fmic now running at 0.8 bar.

Got r33 front and rear calipers to fit.

LPG conversion.

I put my Advans from my s15 on the stag. Going to swap for my spare 350z alloys though as I dont think it suits.

Now just need some masa wings so I can crack on with the r 34 conversion.

The intercooler was an easy fit to be honest just needed to cut away some of the bumper beam. The pipe work used the original wing mount openings.

Quite a few have done it over here. Mines due to be one in a few weeks. Turbocharged engines take well to it as long as the temperature is kept intact. Ie upgraded spark plugs etc and a good remap.

I think your car will look better with the 350Z rims - haven't seen a three spoked rim that I like ever! Have seen a few Stageas with 350z rims - they go well.

Im also having some Fuel cut issue's

I have done some searching on here and i think i need to unplug another sensor.

I have an EBC fitted and every time the car boosts to my set level of 0.75 bar it drops off then fuel cuts :(

Yes, that's my LPG Stagea, there are a few others that I know about including NM35's however they are all dual fuel.

Started the R32 GTR brake conversion on the stagea the weeked.

Calipers arrived before bank holiday so I made a start.

FYI BnQ stock the 14mm od tube £3.94 for 2m worth. I tried every metal place then called to BnQ on a whim and result.

I also bought longer M12 Bolts.

After you remove the caliper on the S2 you will find this issue.

So use the 14mm OD tube and the longer M12 bolts to fit the calipers.

Cut the pipe and slot the insert into the S2 knuckle.

I will update with the finished pics tonight. I have not started on the single pot rear's yet. I will take off the stock S2 rear caliper tonight and see what needs to be done. Lets hope it bolts straight on......

You may find you have to trim the dust shield/stone guard whatever its called.

Didn't have to trim the front shield but did on the rears. Looks like when I get the big brake upgrade for the front I will need to trim them.

R32 Gtr brakes fitted front and rear! Finally !!!

Fitted some bc coilovers today! Not a lot of adjustment in the front shocks. They won't go any lower. Will need to raise the back a bit to level it out. Anybody else fitted these?


As for the ride they are brilliant :)

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
