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.

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.

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.

Yeah your window was closed. The pics were taken on Friday it was washed and locked up. I think he is still waiting for parts. The parts for my car have only just arived.

White one They are both going through insurance with the other parts at fault so full repair with new parts from Nissan.

One is mine. The other owner has already posted pics of his. They are both the victums of twits not looking when they reverse. Both at the same panel beaters.

I saw a silver one in the Grand Hyat underground car park in Flinders Lane last night.

Thanks I couldn't see any part numbers on the box. But going by ferni's explanation I think the box that was sold to me as an R33 is actualy an R32. See the pics the MC mounts in front of the clutch fork.

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

How do I tell the difference between a R32 GTR and R33 GTR gearbox when out of the car? I’m looking at one tomorrow and want to be sure it’s a R33 box. Also how can I check the condition of a gearbox when out of the car? Thanks

It's just a different calibration to protect the auto. The autos break! Heaps of cars are detuned for the auto variants. The Stagea is detuned a bit more than the skyline auto because it id heavier and AWD.

I'm still interested in a set of S1 Front Clear

Im going to be converting my car soon seeing I have killed the auto and are working out all the parts to get. What clutches should I consider given the following? It currently has about 200awkw and I am aiming for 250awkw. - I will use a R33GTR box - Stagea weighs about 200kg more than a GTR . - It is a daily driven car with some city driving. - I will use it to tow my rally car at 1600kg including trailer and equipment. - I will take it to the drags once or twice, an occasional track day and spirited mountain drive. I will be using a R34GTT clutch pedal and MC with the stock GTR slave cylinder or maybe a ¾ Nismo slave cylinder so no booster like a GTR.
