I had some brand new rose joints sitting around for the rear GK Tech adjustable camber and toe arms, so I had them fitted

2nd Run-in dyno @ 1000kms. 309kw and probably around 8500RPM

Hah! What will you do now 4bidn1?

Hey all, Unfortunately due to a recent residential relocation I no longer have room for more than one car between the missus and myself, and I pulled the short straw. Some of you may have seen me pop up from time to time, I have been a proud SAU Stagea forum member since '07 and this is a sad moment for me, but the old girl has to go. Please take the time to check out my for sale thread detailing the bottom to top Tomei Forged engined monster that is my car http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/443627-tomei-rb256-320wkw-1998-nissan-stagea-manual/ Cheers, Harts.

Thanks mate, labour of love. I'll be sad to see it go

Hey All, Up for sale is my Tomei Forged 1998 Series 1 Nissan Stagea in KR4 Silver. I am the first and only Australian owner after having imported it through a broker in 2007. The car was stock as a rock when it first came over, apart from some 17" TE37s and a Blitz Nur Spec Exhaust. Over the years I progressively modified it until it has become the monster it is today. Unfortunately for me, a very recent change in circumstances has meant that my partner and I only have room for one car, and so mine must go. As it stands I put the car in storage as of yesterday, and it won't be coming out until it has sold. I have $30929.01 of new parts purchasing and installation receipts on hand from the last 14 months. Around $25000 of that cost was absorbed by a complete engine rebuild with Tomei components which is now just 4000 kms old. Over the 7 year ownership period I have spent over $50000 in modifications on this car, I built it to be a tough street sleeper, and future-proofed it to easily withstand over 450kW atw if and when I decided to upgrade. The bottom end consists of Tomei Pistons, Tomei Rods, Tomei Oil Pump with Jun Extended Crank Collar, N1 Water Pump, ACL Race Bearings and ARP Main Studs, Head Studs and Rod Bolts teamed with a Tomei Sump Baffle and an aftermarket Harmonic Balancer. The fully reconditioned head features Tomei Poncams and Supertech Valve Springs with Titanium Retainers and all the appropriate Oil Drain Mods. Hooked up to an externally gated GT3076R and running E85 through ID1000s, this engine has revved as high as 9600+ RPM on the dyno and 8000 RPM on the Street. The Tomei oversized Forged Pistons take the capacity up to 2556cc and the car runs 320wkw and 858Nm of torque after the first post run-in tune was completed 500 kms ago. I am frustrated to have to let the car go at this point, but my loss is your gain. Please take some time to have a look through the modification list, general information and pictures below.

Almost every mechanical item has been replaced or reconditioned, I intended to drop something like a PT6266 on this in the future so I didn't cut any corners on the build. Make no mistake, this engine is a street monster and will happily rev beyond 8000 RPM. The Greddy Infomometer clearly shows the current Max RPM reached as being over 9600 RPM, and the thing sounds awesome up top I have dyno sheets for the 3 tunes I have had done since the build was completed. Initial run-in (0kms - 289kW @ 15psi), second run-in (1000kms - 309kW @ 19psi dropping to 17psi) and post run-in (3500kms, 320kW @ 23psi dropping to 17psi). The engine is laughing at this power level, but the turbo has predictably reached it's peak. All dyno runs were performed with Semi-Slicks on the Jaustech dyno, renowned as 'The Heartbreaker'. I simply can not stress how awesome this engine is and sounds, it was built for 450+kW with a bigger turbo and just begs for more If you have any questions about the build then please don't hesitate to contact me, and I'm sure the guys from Jaustech won't mind helping out with info either. The gearbox and transfer case were pulled down last week and inspected and are in fantastic condition. The engine runs on E85, and I will include two 20L Jerry Cans (empty) with the sale. The chassis has 130000kms on it, not a problem to speak of. I replaced the front CV joints last year (right and left entire assembly) as the front left was showing wear. I upgraded the rear differential last week to a stronger viscous LSD. Everything else is in good working order. Aesthetically, the car is in great condition for it's age. It does have the typical Stagea rust under the mirrors, and the front bar has damage on the lower lip. Whatever price the car is sold for I will refund $500 dollars to go toward the front bar repair. There is no point doing it now in case it gets damaged again in the meantime. I have always taken care of it, washed and polished on a regular basis, and it has managed to stay out of trouble in terms of accidents. It has a bit of normal wear and tear, minor scratches barely noticeable to the eye and a few small blemishes inside the vehicle, but nothing out of the ordinary. I will let the pictures speak for themselves The handbrake mount will need to be addressed (a quick spot weld) as it has weakened over time, but the operation of the handbrake is not effected. There are some light scratches on the manual console trim, they were on it when purchased second-hand. The car is currently registered until July and has never been defected. Most of my modifications in the engine bay have been painted black for the sake of stealth to help the car stay on the road, and so far I haven't had a problem. This really is a lethal street weapon, and makes a lot of noise when opened up I am more than happy to provide receipts for the eventual buyer if need be. I work Fly In/Fly/Out so I can be hard to get a hold of, sms or email works best as sometimes I will be out of phone range for periods of time. If you are serious about the car I can organise a family member to meet for a viewing. There will be no test drives without a cash deposit of $5K, but I am ,of course, more than happy to take you for a spin. I am after $22,000 ONO for this Tomei Built beast, I can assure you that it's worth every penny Please have a look at the pictures below and let me know what you think!

Just in case anyone is interested 23 falling to 17

Must be a 0.82 rear, can't confirm or deny that atm

I can't remember turbo specs, do you mean front side .63? I'd have to check, but it's normal front and rear housing sizes, 0.63 front, 0.82 rear? Something like that. Am performance exhaust manifold and stock intake Mani.

Chassis 129000, engine 3500. When the old engine was pulled down it was immaculate. '98 series 1.

It would be, but it's e85. If only it was that impressive wolv

Trusty old GT 3076R, external gate

Thanks mate, I'm happy. Even on the run in tune the car was brutal, I can't wait to drive it as it is now Edit Oh, I have babied the box to the nth degree, haven't even launched on it yet. Power has just proved too much, I guess you never know :@

Had the old girl dyno'd after completing 3500 kms on the new build. Pushed more boost into her, but the turbo has reached it's peak. 22psi dropping to 18 produced 320kw atw on the heartbreaker. Had traction issues with the semi-slicks and the pull type GT-R gearbox started to produce a whine... didn't even get to drive it away lol, but admittedly I expected it to happen soon as gt-r boxes are known to give up at around 350wkw. I asked my mechanic to fix it straight away so 'box is getting pulled down now and rebuilt, shot-peened and treated as necessary. Mechanic says that it is an absolute bullet If only I had the patience and inclination to put a larger turbo on

Hey all, Looking for an R32/R33 GT-R pull type gearbox, must be in good condition or rebuilt. Please PM with price if you have one available Harts.

I was under the impression when I bought the RSR's that because they are semi slicks they would be average in the wet anyway, so that's no surprise

I have 595rsrs on mine mate, they are awesome! I can mash the throttle around a corner and I just get a touch of power oversteer before they hookup on 235/35/18s. With over 300kw atw Did you do the white lettering yourself?

Eheheh, menacing.

Mine isn't, just professionally painted satin black (2008, didn't even know about wrap back then)... was worried about the chances of getting pulled over being increased if it was carbon... but I do love the final motion carbon bonnet for the s1

Haha, I have learnt that nothing is bulletproof in the world of modifying But yes, I built it with the future in mind. In the longterm I'm sure I will put a bigger turbo on, bit I'm in no rush I know what you mean about the box, mine seems to handle it fine at the moment, but I know that 300+ wkw is right on the edge of its working range. I think that the tune should be done in March, bit the limiting factor will be whether or not I am in the state at the time. Your car looks very similar to mine now BTW, black/carbon bonnet and black/carbon ganadors lucky I have black wheels hehe

Thanks tangles, as far as the engine stuff is concerned it's a bit of a list so forgive me: Stagea Rb25det overbore to 2664cc, 8000rpm redline, running on e85.

Looks good let me know what you think of the cuscos... where they zero 1's or zero 2's?

Bonnet looks great! Yeah, will just have to wait and see where the turbo finishes up, but I built the engine with the future in mind, so I can upgrade the turbo if I ever want more power. At this stage I'd be pretty happy with 330wkw on the heartbreaker tbh. Anthony @ Jaustech seems to think that its easily acheivable, he said the engine has so much left in it, which is reassuring . No LSD, I'll get a manual rear cradle in time, as finances allow. The next upgrade will be DBA4000 33 GTR front discs and matching 33 GTS-T rear discs and ProjectMu Club Racers Pads. I only have a few thousands kms left on my current brakes, so it will be a necessity more than a want. I have a near new 2nd hand twin plate Nismo GMAX II (that I will sell one day when I get around to it lol) but i decided i wanted a new coppermix instead, so in the meantime I am running an extreme single plate something or rather... heavy as f**k, but holds the power

Oh, 309kw run in tune done on 35 degree day too, 40 in the workshop by 8am lol
