Yes, yes i am the right person to ask! haha its hard to write pronounciations over the internet, but its best written "Stay-gee-ahh" NOT Stahh-geeee-aah Stag-ee-ah

Mate, to be honest, how could you not expect the front bar to be damaged. EVERY lowered-ish car with a FG kit ive seen got the front bar smashed. Celsiors, Stageas, Skylines, EVERYONE. They are just pricks.

Computalign in Nunawading, right next to bunnings. Do it once, do it right....Donnellans did my first alignment... was pathetic!

That is correct my friend E-WGNC34 12/97 Build date

No problems fellas! Great to hear

I also said series 1, not S14a S14 looks more "fat" like the stagea, S14a's look more sleek Lucky the guy with the white car i see pretty regularly. Ill have an answer in about 1-2 weeks. Will let everyone know

Hmm, come to think about it, maybe i should get some mates together and road trip to sydney..... Havnt ever really been there for anything big. Maybe I should come during the commo games....hmm...will keep everyone posted

The front bar indicators look very similar, series 1 S14's and Stageas (look it up on net)

Yes, but yours is manual...

even when I was buying mid last year there were not many on offer. S2's were just picking up, these days S2's seem to be the go....noone wants the S1's S2's look a lot newers, but I still love my baby heaps

Yep sick, mine and bestians should be exactly the same. BTW, can you please do me a favor and find out what bulbs/LED's Cyberstork reccomends for my car, so then I can have a look in stores here before the faces arrive? Cheers Kez

Yes, they go over the car, remove dust/dirt from the gaurds. They steam clean (though, not really clean) the inside and outside(gaurds) of the car to kill any bacteria, spores etc that are brought over in the car....

Check out sam's posts in the Stagea Parts List thread that sticky http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...dpost&p=1636148 And then on the next page too I would just buy the non stock pads off yahoo japan, speak to www.slidewizeimports.com about it

Hmm so, 1200 to steel wheel it or 1900 to high flow it, so make the turbo go from 300hp(if) to 450hp for $700 is good value for me i say.

You beat me, oh well, lucky i think i may have found an alternative to buying Stagea specific indicators.... will test fit some S14 indicators some time in the near future. Otherwise, friend in japan it is!

Yes, I have an S1 but there is no realy difference between the turbos, some will say there is because of the plastic compressor wheel in the GTT vs GTST, but who cares, we are talking about the turbine wheels which are both ceramic. I havnt heard anything in specific, but think of it this way. The turbo was made for the car in stock for, designed for it in stock form. So it was ment to run lets say 7psi daily. Now, you boost that to 12-14psi, thats 80-100% MORE then what it is stock.....in my experiance anything pushed to double "reccomended/designed" has not been as efficient/capable etc. Also, the same goes for the flow of the intercooler, but a GTT intercooler is good for around 200awkw so word goes. Its not just boost which brings power, its the flow of a turbo. Thats why people say "it flows 450hp". If the turbo can physically flow more air, you are removing the biggest bottle neck in the system (lets say the pipes are the upper limit). So, with a bigger pipe (assume turbo has reduced the bottle neck) for the same pressure you can flow more air....more air is what causes more power. Thats why GCG bore out the turbo compressor/turbine housings to fit bigger steel wheels. If you just replaced the stock turbo wheels with steel units, you wouldnt get much if any benefits.

Ive only been on this forum for the last 10 months, but the ammount of times that i have seen that question asked. The turbo can run 22psi daily (as seen on chris's stagea, exagerated example) BUT, it will shit itself. Its not RPM that kills the turbo, its HEAT. You can safely run say 15psi all day every day, if you boost it 5 times off the lights a day or whatever. Lots of people have 12psi road tunes which seem OK, but when 12psi it run in track/hills, the turbo WILL shit itself and you will get ceramic in the cat disease. ~SAFE boost is 10psi for track/hard use. Stock boost is about 5psi and stock no solenoid boost is about 7psi. Oh, and to me, the turbo above just sounds like its running out of puff. Get a boost controller which you can tune accuratly like a jaycar unit. The profecs only have "gain" which is a pretty poor attempt at boost control for restricted turbos. Or, as SK said, inlet restrictions

Nissan can get them, not cheap though. Also endless pads are on yahoo jp

Well, considering we are an export country of stageas (we import them) i am sure most people would want manuals, therefore import manuals, therefore skew the true representation of ratios

siick they are nice wheels for sure

AFAIK the gauge is what the ECU wants to send to the front wheels. To me it just sounds like the gauge is broken. Here are a few things to see if the 4wd works - Try a big hard clutch dumping launch, then check the tyre marks - Put the car on a hoist and run it, all 4 wheels turn? Then its working somewhat - Put the car on a 4wd dyno and turn the tractive effort up to see if the fronts stop and rears keep going (aka, transfer case is broken) They are probably the best methods i can think of

Bring back memories, but can a S2 GB be put in an S1, along with the computers, steering wheel etc? Id rather just build an S2 box up already with the manual controller...?

You will find these results are not a true representation of the auto/manual ratio from the factory. I think the true figure would be around 80:20 or maybe even 90:10 auto:manual

haha, yes, yes it was me Man springvale road is PACKED in the morning. So is blackburn.. no bloody way to avoid the traffic!
