Will These Rims Fit A Stagea?
AlexCim replied to CruiseLiner's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
And I can be certain that brad can tell you about the difference in the ATESSA clutch packs in the GTR gearbox vs Stagea gearbox when he tore them down. -
Melbourne. Stock RS4 catback fits R33 GTR airbox should fit, RS4 is the same as GTST

Importing A Stagea - General Thoughts
AlexCim replied to agent_felix's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Because you buy the RB20(D?)E version, swap the brakes/engine/gearbox and you have a turbo/manual Stagea. The cheaper alternative as parts are a wack lot more cheaper. Specially if you do the labour yourself @ home. -
Importing A Stagea - General Thoughts
AlexCim replied to agent_felix's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
I personally know someone that got a car through compliance manual converted, a stagea, yes. Didnt even have the manual console, just chopped auto. He said the compo shop said as long as its done right, its not an issue coz autechs came manual...aka...the car is "legal" as a manual. Best to call a few of the compliance shops and ask them personally mate. -

The Stagea Has A Little Brother
AlexCim replied to darrinspencer's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Same steering wheel and similar dash. Is it just me or does that SR have a dizzy instead of coilpacks? -
I will definatly be in the market for an M35 or M36 when I am buying a family car again.

As you can see about everything spent on this car, no corners have been cut with cheap modifications (bleed valves etc). Everything has been done once, and done right with better than expected results each time. One thing that I am meticulous of is serving, with every 5,000km bringing around an oil/filter/spark plug change. This is something that was never missed, where I have all my old oil/plugs/filters as proof and receipts of purchases too. The great thing about a Stagea is that you don’t have to give up performance cars just because you need the space. This car has more go than most and also leaves lots of space for carrying things around/towing etc. I have personally towed two cars on trailers, a 6x4 foot trailer around many times, and had up to 10 people in the car at once. So trust me, there is lots of space Test rides (possibly even drives) welcome, located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Will ship the car interstate to anywhere in Australia at the expense of the buyer. Also, will provide a RWC with the car if the buyer is in Victoria Reason for sale – Simple, I want a thrash around car. Wanting to buy a beaten up S13/Laurel/Cefiro for drifting. Will do part trade plus cash if the right car comes along. Asking price: $20,000 including EVERYTHING listed above, nothing to be removed! Contact me on <removed>, or PM One final thing to note. I am avid member of the SAU Stagea forum (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showforum=82) and also attend many SAUvic and NS events. If any references are required about this car, please just start a thread in the Stag section or NS VIC section. The one thing about owning a Stagea, is that you become addicted and fall in love. Ask anyone who owns one and they will say the same thing. They are fabulous cars! Just after having the S2 front fitted, picking it up from the panel beaters. Work performed by Luci and his crew at Melbourne F1 Panels in Fawkner. Feel free to call them and discuss the work, they know my car well (It sat there for 5 months!) A little blacktop SR in tow. Easy work with the Stag. Clean car park photo Clean car park photo Clean car park photo Night shot at industrial estate. Its a little dirty, would have looked way nicer with a wash just before.

And yes, the rolling diameter was kept the same front and rear, thats why they are mismatched. Looks cool either way.

there is not "boost cut" its just simply R&R. My car does this mega violent thing though where it like, full on cuts out and shakes around. whats that cut?

5ZIGEN FN01R-C's are the bomb I just got R34 GTT wheels, too hard to choose some wheels I found.

Ahhh, but you see. I am selling my Stagea because I DO love it so much. If I was to keep it and use it for what I want to....i would surely kill it. On the other hand, an A31/S13/R32 is not so worthy of care Rest assured, the stagea will return to me later in life... -
apart from the inner gaurds being different and me not changing them, i needed to drill 2 new holes for the headlights. Otherwise, its a direct bolt on. You will need to get an auto elec to rewire the lights too, but that only cost me $250. You need the plugs with the headlights.
-
Now now, they can be converted to auto.....but we are talking powerglides and the such.
-
How would those headlights actually light anything up in front of the car?

fly510, just click the link http://ebay.clearbridge.com.au/lachlan.html It 100% has the photos, maybe it saved in your cache without. Open that page then press the "refresh" button next to the stop button. Alternatively, press F5. -
You are going to lose a lot, lot of money. Want an S2? Do the front conversion like me. Will work out way cheaper and you can go aftermarket bodykit at the same time.
-
We are not sure, no one has tried that. As far as one of the first mods, swaybars make the car 100% more bareable.

I was going to say make a trailer too... Not sure about the legalities of that though........

I have updated my site with photos. http://ebay.clearbridge.com.au/lachlan.html I am not "selling" it right now as Ive not tuned it for over 200awkw, but once I do, I will put it on the market right away. Alternatively id cut 500 off the price and sell it with all the hardware. 160awkw is still fast enough for now, but I want to feel the power of 200awkw As for some advice, here is an alright thread. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=92065 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=80601 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=148428
