Updating my gallery at the moment, so there will be a heap of Stagea pics with the Dayz bodykit in there. Check these out tho:

I voted Dayz, seeing as thats my car! :lol: (was CoolPC's, now mine with SA plates! - got new photos in my gallery!) Sweet.... B) Edit: The 260RS does look 'phat' but surely you'd want the RB26 as well, so it matches "show" with "go". Brendan

I like the front and skirts, but not actually a fan of the wing. The Dayz edition on my Stag is slightly 'restrained' in comparison!

Pick them up at Jap auctions for $19-30kAUS complied..... all depends on year, body type, gearbox, history, condition, auction grade, etc.

Hi mate, Im sort of in the same boat... also wondering what else I should be looking at getting before the car goes to the workshop. Got a 1997 Nissan Stagea wagon with: RB25DET (R33 series 2) with a attessa 4wd system similar to the GTR, with standard autoshifter. Whacked in an immobiliser / alarm and a nice stereo with sub/amps/door speakers etc. The car has great suspension and the brakes seem strong at this stage. Will upgrade the front discs to dba slotted in the next x-months. Ive got a full 3inch exhaust system with hiflow cat There is a k&n pod filter in a custom air surround 2stage Hybrid ebc and a r34 gtt intercooler have been fitted Apexi SAFC2 is in the car for the tuning, and going to add very soon: Apexi (maybe) frount mount intercooler, C-bend style so that the pipes use the standard holes Apexi SITC for added tuning Nismo fuel pressure regulator, with new high pressure fuel lines throughout, and will wave the wand over the fuel pump as well. Got a Z32 AFM ready to go in, along with a RB25 Neo turbocharger and actuator of a low km R34 So should I be looking at gettintg further supporting parts before heading to the workshop to have it all put together and retuned? I'll be keeping it to 10psi. Plus I dont really have a large budget, once the above parts are finished off and put on the car that'd be 7k spent on the car already, so got to 'cool' off for a while! (got to grab brakes and suspn yet!) What have I missed that I ought to be shot for? Im new to turbo's so want to make sure the air/fuel/timing is all good, rather than stuffing my engine/turbo. (Although I shouldnt have, I put my 2c worth in about SK, just 'cause you gotta aplaud those forum members who offer their experience/advice/knowledge etc, 95% of the other members out here have benefitted from that advice!) Cheers, Brendan

How is the build going?

Yeah, mine was a 2.5inch and 1yr old, but was never expecting a huge gain.... just a slight decrease in restriction.

Its off ebay - almost bought one myself, but went thru Batmbl instead. Fact is now you wont be choking on all those poisonous fumes! Bw

Same; cant understand why ppl's get so shitty at each other; emotions and typed words dont mix! If you want 'safe' boost then stick to 10psi or under, but you want more? Well, thats your risk! Simple.......... 11psi and it might stuff up, 12psi and it might stuff up, 13, 14, etc etc etc. & frankly I reckon SK should be getting an apology..... EDIT - 6000+ very informative posts that have helped a hell of a lot of people, all for free, speaks volumes about the man. Brendan

How much did you pay for the RB25 turbo? Reason I ask is Ive just bought an RB25 NEO turbo and am going to put that on my Stagea and sell off the standard one. Im not too sure if its worth selling, due to being in the 'defect-state of australia' but What are they worth? (I believe its in good condition, been on 9 and 10spi since its been in Australia for the past 12 months, and was stock for 50000kms in Japan - probably) Brendan

Just at a car yard 5yrs ago, Euctice Motorcity (ken eustice was n ex SANFL legend) for 15k with new tyres and real low kms, and Ive kept the kms low and mod'd it nicely. I bought it when I was 22, but to this day never had it sideways or did burnouts, or silly things like that. Very clean car; it gets picked up in half an hour! The BT1 is pretty much an Executive badged SS. Top car with the Pal-enhanced FE2 suspension, but still, the standard run of the mill Falcodore. Then again, my oldies tried to sell me their VT Calais V6, but frankly my VR V8 was SUCH a nicer car, better build quality, great handler, etc etc. Sam, good luck with the sale of the S2 Stagea..... why? Such a nice car, pity you're flogging it off! I adore my S1 Stagea, I reckon they are top cars... pity its made for Japanese and not my 201cm tall body! Brenda\n

hhmm, I too want a tow bar, just to tow a medium sized trailer to the tip, and to Mallala with my 186kg CBR900RR Fireblade motorcyle on it. Even if the tow bars are made in NSW or VIC (Im in SA) I can arrange transport thru my business carriers..... so count me in, if its a decent price. Brendan

Yeah, Ive told mates about it, but no luck yet. Sorry. Im happy tho, just sold my VR V8 Commodore, albeit for a stupid price tho........

SOLD for $7750 cheers for looking

The car runs very smoothly, got a nice AFR set to 12:1 via the SAFC, as in SK's threads (stagea section) the R34 GTT intercooler is roughly a 23% increase in size / therefore flow etc, and my car has been upgraded power wise by pretty much this figure. If SK reckons its good for ~200kw@4w then youve got to take that with a fair consideration. Fitment: straight bolt on job, easy stuff (mind you my workshop did it for me; I had a heap of gear installed at the same time.) I might have sourced a decent brand name 'C-bend' style smallish front mount intercooler at a good price, so the R34 GTT intercooler might be taken off (in 4-6 weeks time?) and sold..... although Im sure this cooler would have been perfect for my wanted power output. Plus Ive sourced an R34 GTT Neo turbo, so thats another reason Im seriously considering this brand-name 'cooler Ive sourced..... On a R33 manual Ive read they are good for up to ~250rwkw... but that'd be max. Brendan
