I thought about the manualised auto but $$$ vs practicality/fun.
yeah for sure.
latest episode is up, engine is mocked up and we bought a huffy slider.....
-
sticking to manual may have created some mechanical obstacles to overcome, but I reckon you've dodged a big bullet trying to mate up the electrical and ECU/TCU side of autos.
looking forward to seeing how the rest of the build goes.
thanks mate , would have been a fully manualised auto anyway so electrical wouldnt have been an issue , but converting a factory manual stagea to auto didnt really seem like a good idea.

would end up cheaper than going the bc's if he is paying his own quotes.
Dont like the bloke, and never will.
thats fine, can't please everyone. From a simple misunderstanding people can fall off the deep end. Best of luck in the future.

any news on the wagon front?
its currently in transit and should be home monday . After 11 months of planning and building , its all but finished, just need to do the gear shifter, mount the ecu and put the front bar back on.

How are you enjoying Stagea life Ben? What's the feedback been like from the front end conversion and paint job? Most importantly are you enjoying the car?
stag is great, most people seem to love the car , the sticking point has been the wing, i'm happy with it as it is .
I may be biased, but why not a VQ35?
not sold on VQ in NA form unless its a renault motorsport engine.

ecu relays should be behind passenger kick panel ( above OE ecu )
-
thanks guys , looks like ill go with the cusco items, saw the other brands and tbh dont like how they adjust.
-
My stag had soundstream splits up front and the installer put he x overs behind the deck, then put the tweeters in the a pillar stock location .
-
VR38DETT it is, then!
LOL
cant rule it out
wont be an NA VK,
hmmmmmm ej/h6 or 1j/2j?
will be nissan derived.
and this all hinges on IF the engine comes out, not when.
-
Looking great!
How about RB30 bottom end with the RB25DET NEO head?
if the engine comes out no RB will ever replace it .

Hey guys, i got the Stag alligned today after fitting the Slideworx rear camber arms and the rear is sorted, now i want to get the front the same, whats a recommended brand? don't want to buy million dollar arms but don't want something that'll last a week either. Please only recommend arms you have used and if you could list how long they've been fitted for also ? I like the Slideworx products but they don't do front uppers so anything with a similar quality and price range would be ideal.
Thanks, Ben.

Just out of curiosity mate, but is it running an RB25 or RB26? Have you got any plans to give it extra oomph? I bought an R34 sedan a few years back, and it won out over the Stagea as I found they were a little lacking in the power department.
at this moment it has an rb25 but we are currently spitballing ideas on upgrades, no it wont be a 26 and no it wont be LS but thats all i'm saying.
I love the colour but I don't really like the wing your car though.
the wing is love or hate, its not actually how i imagined it'd sit either but its on there now and i sold the original wing. maybe if the rear bar and skirts were more aggressive it'd suit a bit better. at the time when i bought it i was going to fit 260RS rear bar and skirts but the seller was a complete F*ucktard.....
-
some better pics to show the colour and wing .
thanks, Ben.

Great colour choice Ben. More pics would be great especially of the rear wing. Did you respray the engine bay? Looks excellent.
thanks mate , gonna get more pics once the weather is nice, did everything but the bay, it's silver / grey anyway but if the engine comes out it'll get resprayed.
thanks, Ben.

-
just looking for gtr transfer case now , but will also take a full box if needs be. thanks, Ben .

got one mate inbox me if you are interested. thanks, Ben .

whats the new colour...................................?
soon will be revealed its not a subaru or nissan colour
And what's this VG30 bell housing business....?
never you mind, its not for vg30 though
I think I read that he is going '06 STI silver / grey
was, but actually looked green on the test panel.
This is very impressive. If i started my stagea journey again i would seriously consider doing the same.
I reckon those G35 rims would look perfect on my M35
thanks mate , you are welcome to test fit the wheels, i think they'd suit most nissans personally.
Mechanical Stig,
Will you help to source one more front just like yours to put on my C34 Stagea too?
this one came up by chance, my subaru parts supplier had it sitting in his yard so we just jumped on it , we bought the whole stagea, cut it up and shipped it back in parts . if another one pops up we'll bring it over for sure , but i cant really order parts in as we deal with scrap yards and it we just have to wait and see what comes in. if you are after special order parts, best to speak to Aaron at Import monster, he'll be able to sort you out for sure.
Nice choice on the stagea Ben. The Gtr front really suits the stagea body. Good on you for posting this up for all to see. I know mcm fans including myself are pretty interested in ichiban and the builds we don't get to see on mcm. Cheers
thanks for the feedback mate , we are going to start puting a lot more of our builds on the ichiban facebook page including my new track car ( which is still in japan at this stage ) . if you are interested in our other builds , check out the Fb page , facebook.com/ichibanimports .
thanks guys, Ben.
