where can you get mandrel bent stainless steel TURBO BACK exhausts custom made for 600 bucks? hook me up as i may be interested to run a group buy for stageas at that price!

WOW, you have a really low trap speed for that ET, only 108mph...i wont put it past you to drop into the 11's given the turbos will really help the top end! Let us all know, dont forget to update the stagea dyno thread which is sticky at the top of the forum.

yay - it DIDNT arrive! Thanks funky!

This is f**king bullshit! I am so happy that its only over $20 bucks and not more, because I can only imagine how pissed off id be if it were more gauging from what I feel now. I cant beleive that it takes a CD (counted as a normal letter) over a week to get from Glen Waverley to Forest Hill...a whole massive one or two suburbs over. Lied to once, ok... lied to again, I hope not...

Exhausts are not as easy as "add this and this" Resonators are just that, tubes that cut down the volume of certain resonant frequencies (lets refer to them as certain RPM) Mid mufflers and rear mufflers are mufflers (hence, muffle) the sound. You need to be very careful when choosing a reso as you need to choose one to cut down specific RPM. Id try to get one for ~2200-2700 and ~3000-3500 as i found when I had my xforce system that they were the most droney places. The wagon is a bitch, being a single cabin you hear EVERYTHING the exhaust does and also amplifies the sound. The route that I would take these days (after experiance with 3 different exhausts) is either - (The louder exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, resonator, twin straight pipe tips (no rear muffler) - (The more quite exhaust) Split dump/front, one of the metal cats, mid muffler, magna flow rear muffler - (The ultimate exhaust) Split dump/front then straight pipe to the end of the car, twin 2.5inch tips (I love twins) You can also have twin resonators installed as mentioned above. PS - When i first bought my fuji exhaust, it sounded good on idle. Now it has a popping noise (not like a back fire, more "dry fart" like) and i suspect its from me possibly melting the glass packing inside the muffler..........anyone know if this is fixable at all?

what class was i entered into?

silva33 only came into buying a new car recently..

Two things, Castrol sponsor a lot of cars in high performance race series and are race proven goods ......and..... SK suggests all castrol stuff Put two and two together, add a sale at repco and minus $300 to the wallet....you can have a shelf like that.

The S1 has Y33 Cima brakes (big fat nissan car) up front and R34 GT (non turbo) up rear. The brakes are not that bad people, just put some good pads behind them and you will be amazed.

I loose traction in the wet launching with either 50/50 on or off. I get sideways around uturns/turns because i give it some stick to do that, but i find i cant hold it too long as the auto hits the rev limiter

Yeh yeh, i know about 1k brake pads is crazy, but these cars will suck your money if you like it or not. On exhausts ONLY, ive spent about 3k....yep....crazy ey.... Meh. Did you look on yahoo JP to find a used standard set?

Castrol SuperDOT4 brake fluid Castrol EDGE sport 0W60 engine oil Castrol Transmax Z transmission fluid Castrol Anti-Freeze/Anti-Boil Coolant Castrol power steering fluid Genuine Nissan oil filters Wait, actually this may help you out. My shelf here at home That diff oil is left over from my previous car, so not sure its suitability for the Stagea

On my car, its mounted like number 3. If i touch the core after driving, the whole face is as hot as the rest. On STAGENS car, we mounted it like number 1. I cant really tell you whats best because like you say, ive seen all 3 done, but the stock one is mounted like number 3 (or at least, thats the closest one there) Does the line pressure increase with RPM to increase flow? Best to call MV Automatics or www.keas.com.au

If only it was a 4wd dyno....if only!

Unfortunatly not mate, they are just for automatic tranmission fluid, manual fluid doesnt need cooling.

yes, i find it odd that someone people dont find the rear seat recline feature, but at least you found it now!!!!

endless would make brake pads. I am getting ENDLESS SSS replacement brake pads for my car, they are on the way now from the land of the rising sun.

Also, for your information, the engine they used in the 260RS was always an R33 built engine. Even though they stopped using that engine in the R33's in 1997.12, it stuck with stageas up until 99.07. So the "S2" 260rs were mearly a "face lift" model, same running/workings.

So its safe to say you called nissan spare parts and asked them exactly what you are asking us? And they couldnt give you an answer right? 260RS pads (even ones made up until 99-07) are the same as R33 GTR pads, which are not the same as R34 or R32 GTR pads as far as part numbers/supersession chains go. Look at the big picture, $1000 doesnt put a dent in a $40,000 car

www.google.com.au www.nissan.com.au www.whitepages.com.au then www.slidewizeimports.com

Once the mould is made, they will be available later on by demand, either from me or from topstage.

guess we havnt seen them here coz they are non-turbz

the oil flowing through lines around the engine bay, if the hose got caught between the engine and chassis, could be punctured or something. Its not saying that all installs are illegal, as most people know how to do it right, but there will always be one in the bunch that does something stupid.

As par this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/NISSAN-STAGEA-Aug-1997...1QQcmdZViewItem and this picture Is it safe to assume some S1's came with NEO's??????????? I doubt Nissan would say something like "check out this great engine......that isnt available in this car!" haha I am being tripped out here. Thats for a august 1997 model+ , mine is Sep 1997....hmmmmmm

Revzones got a 4WD dyno. They have always been good towards me
