Had a little project to do with my Stagea over the last week or so customising from mounts so a rear GTR sway bar would fit comfortably. Anyone in SA with a C34 Stagea thinking of fitting GTR sway bars to your Stag but are put off by the 'forced' fit of the rear bar, check this link out. I've posted the details in the Stagea section ... link below: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/375348-upgrading-sway-bars-to-stagea/

I took on a little project with the Stagea. For those who like the idea of fitting GTR sway bars to their C34 but can't be arsed forcing the rear bar to fit, check out this thread below: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/375348-upgrading-sway-bars-to-stagea/ I fabricated up some mounts so the rear GTR sway bar is a comfortable fit.

Been a bit busy and decided to fit GTR sway bars to the Stagea. Now most of you would know that the rear sway bar doesn't exactly fit properly ... forcing the links/bushes to sit at angles they're not designed for. Well I've taken the liberty to pull my stag apart for the week and machine up some adaptors: Above we can see how the narrower GTR sway bar does not quite line up with the links/bushes of the C34 stagea. above, we also see how the narrower GTR sway bar doesn't quite fit with the mounts either. Forcing it to fit and prematurely wearing out the rubbers is not my style. I had these fabricated as extensions to the end of the sway bar to meet the links/bushes at a more natural angle. I also had these mounts fabricated so the mounting rubbers of the sway bar and offset inwards by 25mm each side, allowing for a more natural fit of the sway bar. Above is the sway bar relocation mount in position on the chassis. And above is the finished fitting of the adaptor. Neat and in a more natural position on the sway bar. The plate used is 6mm thick. Above is the finished fitting of the adaptors for the ends of the sway bar, allows the links/rubbers to sit at a more natural angle. The plate used here is 8mm thick due to the much heavier loads exerted upon it so there is no flex or give. The sway bar mount plates are 6mm thick only as they sit flush and are supported by the chassis rail. All nuts and bolts used were high tensile and tig welding required to fab the threads to the mounting plates. Very happy with the job. Refitted the wheels, removed the stands, and I gave the Stagea a good rocking, and she only swayed on her own tyre pressures. Yet to road test ... but I'm quite certain it'll pass And the beauty of it is that there is no permanent welding of the plates to the chassis or sway bar, allowing for the bar to be removed and a stock one refitted in no time at all.

I'll be there.

No! Her lovely rack is MINE!

Clean the idle control valve and the afm with carby cleaner, reset the ecu and you're motor will run fine. If you're not sure how to do it all I can help.

Still got? I'm in Adelaide.

I am certain it has the double unicorn

Divorce her so I can marry her

+1 I know people don't like to hear it, but its usually the people without the protection/cover that dislike hearing it. Imports are targets for thieves. People will spend $500-$2000 on mods in a heartbeat, but not $300-$500 on an alarm. Glad to hear his Stagea was recovered under good circumstances.

I've shown my loyalty to my bike as one of my tatts (I have more than a few lol) features my Suzuki TLR) ... but no stagea tattoo yet. However, I have planned to get one Keeping the design under wraps for now.

I have neo cover, timing belt cover, and valley (coilpack) cover.

Better go get myself a copy then

I've given the final deadline on those club shirts. We WILL have them this friday. They have no more excuses. I'm waiting for my club shirt too.

I could bring my Bluebird wagon ... it is a Nissan wagon! ... but the Stagea is much more fun

bigkevracer NM35 Stagea 161.2AWKW Dunc NM35 Stagea 176.8AWKW Ruby C34 Stagea 232.0RWKW Seems to me like the M35s are a little underpowered This list is from yesterday's dyno day for SAU-SA. My Stag previously made 252.8rwkw on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. Yesterday's dyno day was on a Mainline. On a serious note, SAU-SA club is going to have another track day in the coming months. Would like to see a few Stageas out there ... I'll be there to better my 1m29s now I have 70kw more and bigger brakes. Track day list is open to club members first then extended to non-members. When the clutch drops, the bullshit stops

Why monday? Couldn't you get to it this weekend? Hope there's not too much wrong with her.

Might be doing the same, or at least getting a campsite to pitch a tent.

Enhanced Automotive supplied the dyno at Wayville for the EHP show. Maybe give them a call as a place to start.

Yes! So you're saying why bother with an alarm, a clublock, an immobiliser ... let alone gps tracking? Lets just hand them the keys then shall we? I have mine insured, alarmed, immobilised, clublocked and gps tracked because I DON'T want my car stolen, and if by some minor chance it is I wanna know where to find the bastards. And for my next trick, I'm going to hook up a feature to my alarm which allows me to kill the engine via mobile.

Seems Tracy (my wife) will be off work for 6 weeks, but she's only got enough leave to cover 2.5-3 weeks. So we're going to be a bit stretched on the budget. I'll put it out there that if anyone wants any mechanical work done to their skylines (turbo swaps, 100K service, fitment of new parts etc) I'd be happy for quick cash jobs, to keep us above water. I normally don't ask for the work (it finds me) but we'd like one less thing to worry about if anyone needs a fix. PM me.
