  1. Burns, there are some things you just shouldnt own up too...

    I know this is your bike, 'cause you kids wouldnt be seen dead on it.

    It really is my bike, I don’t have kids. I have a KTM200EXC as well but don’t think I have any pics.

    The back up car was having brown outs today. With the head lights, rear demister, fan and wipers going the radio would drop off if the revs dropped or I used the brakes and the blinkers and brake lights wouldn’t work at the same time.

  2. Yep it's a Dayz with a bit cut out for the intercooler.

    It's just a R33 brake cylinder stopper.

    The return pipe is behind the core and it uses the stock holes but they have been enlarged for the bigger pipes.

    It came with the car so I don't know what cost is. It's a Blitz kit.

    It took 4 months to get the parts and another month at the panel beaters but the outcome is fantastic.

    Being backed into by a Prado wasn’t that bad a thing after all.

  3. I have purchased all the parts myself and have done all the work up to needing a hoist. I'm paying a workshop to do the work that needs a hoist and set the clutch system up so I can drive it home then I will finish it off.

    It will end up being around $3,000 - $3,500 not including the centre console. I will work that out later ether moding the auto one, making up a new one using the auto one or maybe buy a manual one if that won’t work.

  4. Yep they are buddy club P1's 17X8 and 17X9. The rears are a very tight fit. With the Bilstins in before I had the camber bushes fitted the upper inside of the wheel scraped on the lower spring seat.

  5. Turbos cam make more power on LPG than on Petrol if set up correctly. My old VL turbo made 20kw more when tuned for LPG. LPG has an octane rating of around 110 so you can run higher boost and more ignition advance.

    I would be interesting to see if a Skyline tank would fit under the Stagea seat even if not doing a LPG conversion it would give you a much better range.

  6. They are fantastic. I got the 4 pots with 330mm DBA 4000 series rotors, braded lines and Ferodo DS2500 pads. The rears are still stock but I will get some R33 GTS-t rears to put on once the dint and busted gearbox is sorted out. I had to have the mounting holes in the adaptor brackets re-drilled and taped bigger to take the bolts and cut a notch out of them for clearance to the hubs but apart from that it was a piss easy install.

    I guess they made a mistake when making the brackets or maybe the Stagea has different front hubs / steering knuckle to a GTR.

    The pedal feels so much better, much easier to modulate and threshold brake and the ABS still works as it should or better, they work well when cold or hot. I noticed a little brake squeal when braking lightly in reverse but that was it. They will probably get even better once bedded in; I only got to do about 100km on them before stuffing my gearbox.

  7. So your not getting all new bits through insurance? Luci normaly wont work with 2nd hand bits. Maybe he decided it was worth it given the wait for new bits from Nissan. My car is waiting for him to finish on one of these before it can go into the paint booth.

  8. Gigidy I bought a R33 GTR gearbox today and the hand brake leaver and will order the clutch pedal, MC, bracket ect next week.

    The only problem is that no one keeps the flywheel and clutch housing bolts and they are a bit expensive new from Nissan.

    Are the auto flexplate to crank bolts the same as the manual flywheel to crank bolts?

    Have you used the R34 clutch hydraulic lines or just had a braded hose made up? The R34 lines look complicated with a few bits of pipe, hose and brackets.

    Have you just used a R33 GTS-t rubber gear leaver boot?

    Thanks
