  1. WHile this is an old thread by 2+ years. This is what i have found out about the rwd stagea,

    - They use the McPhersons strut front suspension setup of the S15 (Bottom arm, 5 stud hub, shock etc)

    - They have a 2 pot brake caliper and 280mm S14/S15 rotors

    - The rear has no hicas

    - Has an S15 rear subframe/arm setup (S15 hubs, S15 style subframe I Have measured this.

    - Uses an R33 internal drum handbrake with an S14 style single pot sliding caliper

    - Diff 4:1 VLSD

    Other stuff I found out:

    - 296mm R33 GTST Callipers/Rotors bolt straight up which means 33GTR Brembo's/350z Brembo's will too

    - R34 GTT callipers/rotors WILL NOT fit, unless you drill out the hub as the calipers use larger bolts

    - S14/15 adjustable rear arms etc all fit

    - Uses S-body/R-body suspension bushes

    - Tension rods are S14/15-R33/34

    - Tie rods and ends are S14/S15

  2. Picked this up the other day.

    Been a while since i had a stagea. Sold my old one to my fiance back in 2011, as she loved driving it. So after a few cars in between, Ive got another one.

    Factory RWD too, and manual converted. with other tasteful mods

  5. Hello,

    Not sure if its been covered on THIS site before, i had a small search and couldn't find a specific thread.

    Im looking at reverse mounting a set of these wheels when they arrive. They are currently in GTR offset of 17x9 +20 all round.

    Having googled many times in regards to this, i still am yet to find the 100% actual offset change that will occur. Some say 12.2mm, some say 10mm, and others say 15mm.

    Basically, im just wanting to know if anyone has done this, or knows of anyone who has, and what was the actual change in offset. I dont care if the rims you had done were a +35 etc, all im wanting to know is the correct change in offset when reverse mounting them.

    Cheers

  6. So, I have decided to begin testing the waters on a driving holiday.

    I have promised the youngest a trip to Melbourne for her birthday (well, I wanted to go, and taking her along gets me out of hosting another 13th birthday party, and I still havent recovered from the last one 4 years ago, however I digress) and I am getting rather srs about driving there. I have an almost brand new car that is under warranty, so reliability is not an issue. So, on to the questions

    Has anyone done it?

    I drove from melbourne (ballarat actually, 1 hour west of melb) anywho, I did this last year on the 28th of December with my gf. Drove back the car i purchased over there back in August.

    How long should it take?

    Depends which way you go. We went from Ballarat, to Geelong then all the way to Adelaide via the Great Ocean Road (A MUST if you do the Drive IMO) Below are google map pictures of the drive we took.

    Alone the way we did stop and take a few pictures along the Bite, really good views, Especially on good weather.

    Is there anywhere along the way you think I HAVE to stop and see? (and any places you recommend I avoid at all costs)

    There is plenty to stop and look at along the way. It really comes down to how long you want to take. 90mile straight is quite boring. Very in fact.

    Is there any routes that are better than others?

    Cant say, Kinda just took this one as it appealed to us more. Next time i think i will take the south west coast, just to see more down there (im a Victorian, thus im still exploring WA)

    Is there anything I am likely to have forgotten to consider?

    Accommodation, Wanting to camp or stay in the hotels. Food and drink, snacks etc. Money for petrol ot does get expensive. I drove back my HR31, so it was a preference to have 98. I only got 95 once on the way back, so not bad really. On average we got about 650km to a tank, so not to bad really. I think at one stop i paid $2.15 a litre.

    And Lastly - feel free to give me some damn good reasons why I should just fly.

    Why?

    you can fly anytime really. Sure its only a 4/4.5 flight (done it many times), but what is stopping you from driving? how many other times car you going to be able to drive from Perth to Melb and back. Let alone actually do it. I was umming and ahhing about it for ages. I thought just put the car on a truck and fly back, but what better way (in my opinion) to see how well your car can handle on long trips (should you constantly do them).

    For me it was just "one of those things" that i wanted to tick off and say "i've done that drive"
