  1. the injectors is where is gets a little shady for me.

    Apparently you can get topfeed and a fuel rail for about the same price as some side feed ones???

    Looking at a fpr now.

    Thanks for your help so far gents, more suggestions?

  2. VERY CAREFULLY.... With the butt of a screwdriver and a tap with a hammer.

    After that, we just shook out all the pieces.

    Took us about an hour because I was afraid of cracking the outer glass.

    On a side note, does anyone know where to get an LED festoon globe for the corner lights? The goldy halogen look lets it down a bit

  3. Jesus YES!

    I've got 6000k in mine and they get comments constantly.

    I've also knocked out the yellow lenses in the foggies and have another set in there for extra high beam

    You'll never want halogen again, they'll just look dirty

  4. S1 Stagea rs4 auto.

    OK so here's what I have so far laying around:

    Intake plenum

    80mm throttle body

    top mount exhaust manifold

    600x300 FMIC

    cam gears

    kkr430 (itll do for now, until I get a gt3540 and a wastegate)

    splitfires

    BOV

    Mate's trying to talk me into some top feed injectors (550cc?)

    ECU - Im looking at a Greddy emanage ultimate, the powerfc i think is just screaming 'overboard' to me.

    Anything else I need? Looking at putting this on in July when we do the big roadtrip to C-red.

    Thanks in advance, my knowledge is starting to lack at this stage

  5. HIDs and mean eyelids, looks the goods. (no pics)

    Mine's an S1 though.

    Spend a weekend fashioning some eyelids, if you don't like them, I'm sure some of the fine people on here will take them off your hands.

  6. Excellent, I'm pretty clear now

    A Question for Grant, if you're still paying attention

    How do your struts handle?

    Are they installed 'as is'? i.e: bolt straight on (apart from the rear hats)?

    What do they feel like on the track?

  7. I (obviously) have shocks on the Stagea now, and there's nothing wrong with them, other than creaking on braking (anyone know how to stop this?)

    The r33 gtst struts that are coming are FREE, and they're lowered so I thought I'd fit them

    apart from the tangents, all everyone's said is 'do it' or 'don't do it'

    TELL ME WHY, just so that I will know in future how both work

  8. this really has turned into a great thread - very informative

    so tell me what i need to do to make them fit, Im rather inept when it comes to suspension

    We recently failed to successfully change some CV joints in a mazda 626, so you'll need to spell it out

    For everyone else as well

  9. Wow, this is all really excellent stuff, but I'm afraid I am now completely lost.

    I have free r33 gtst struts (I assume these are in their entirety: springs/asshats/whatever)

    Can I put them on the Stagea, and will they keep me on the road?!

  10. Ahah sudden group buy!

    When I say I'm familiar with FG, it means I've used it before (made a parcel shelf, rolled guards on an ae86, basic frontage on sub box)

    I was going to wait til I could buy some paint but pressure's on now, if only I could get days off from work

    I might make a few sets at the outset (I dont have access to an S2 yet) and bog/prime them smooth and send em out for you to paint yourselves (if they come out good).

    Having said all of this they might turn out dodgy as, but I'll likely post a step-by-step as I go so I can narrow down how it went.

    Time frame at this stage will be a couple of weeks - I work 80 hours a week so I gotta wait for a day off

    Slow your roll - I'll keep you updated!

  11. all you need is a headlights nad turnsignal together and you can make it

    id just use maybe two layers of the woven matt and cover hte lights with tape, then lay the layers on the light

    once its done, you should be able to pull it off with the tape and trim

    then sand, bondo, paint

    maybe a days work

    That's what Im thinking so far

    I'm thinking the slim set for my car at the minute, thought Grants does look really tough...

  12. So I've just crawled under the car, risking caltrop weed to the back and groped my way around

    all the struts are the same, and seem to be r33 gtst style

    Since the ones coming my way are better than what I have (and a bit lower), I'll be doing the swap.

    Seeing as the only price I'm paying for them is a Sunday afternoon and a carton of Corona, when they arrive I'll be taking pics, and posting my report for the betterment of Stagearizers everywhere.

    That's a few weeks ahead though, but stay tuned nonetheless - I guess it'll be left til then to determine the success/failure of the job.

    EDIT: I don't suppose any of this controversy could have stemmed from engine type? My Stag is the rb25, anyone feeling like groping a Neo and reporting details?

  13. well I'm getting them for the price of postage from QLD so I can only try

    plus they'll have a decent resale value around here considering the number of r33s getting around

    I think they're an inch or so low as well

  14. so they've different connectors on the front and back?

    so I'll be half right? :P

    Before we go further

    Yokotas, are your struts GTR or GTST struts?

    If the fronts are the same on gtr/gtst thena full set of gtst struts will fit on the Stagea?
