    Or I will, whoever chimes in first. :)

    What do ya know.......its back from paint. my legs seriously went weak seeing it in person.

    The job looks great, pity about the mess around with the other guy or there'd be more progress.

    Interior is out getting finished and everything else is stashed away ready for after-pits mods.

    with his j-land contacts, the collection of awesome rare parts denzo has collected for this will blow you away.

    Stay tuned for more progress, will keep updating the site with photos as i get them. Sorry bout the iPhone quality.

    mitch if you want to nistune, you will have to use a piggy back Z32 board iirc. some stags have slightly differing batch number computers, which can be a prob.

    IMO go MV automatics shift kit. S1 boxs are one of the strongest. btw the professors look mint, you' ll need camber arms def though to achieve the tougher stance and save inner tyre wear when factoring in the wider rear track. :thumbsup:

    R33 sway bars need to be slightly modded to fit, but is one of the best mods (preferably with sydneykids setup), dunno about this mix and match gtr stuff being recommended but few have done it, chuckies seems ok. I prefer stiffer spring rates and braces, body roll is shite in a wagon. choosing from the tein and whiteline catalogue will save all the headache. :whistling:

    yar, i hear ya....thanks for the compliment. :) nistune would be nice, but feeling the $$ pinch right now.

    fortunately the coilovers were a necessity, so they got by the money witch. muhahah

    looking at the size of the toe rods, i reckon i could smash some s13/r32 ones in there,

    haven't had a chance to get a look in on the arms though, it's on my list!

    the power steering has seemed to go kerplonk, not 'sensing' speed correctly so

    that's going to have to be the next thingo on the payroll.

    cheers for the input fellers.

    if we do have another big meet like RS, i reckon we should have a stagea installation "bowling green".

    i have some tweed golfing pants somewhere round here......

    aye mitch, was good to catch up. jeff's 3.1 stroker stagea was awesome!! :worship:

    yes mate, twas great to have a chat or three. jash's was so stylish.......loved it. :)

    There is no link, it's something I had done at a gearbox workshop because he couldn't do me a full proper shift kit.

    Big Jim is the man though, he's done his and I'm sure if you asked him nicely he might help you ;)

    Yours is a series 1 though Mitch, different to ours (yours is essentially the same as an R33 GTSt auto box) and more support.

    thanks bubba, bummer....sounds like a clever mod though. :)

    Heya Stagea crew,

    Caught up with some stagea peeps at Rising Sunday which was cool,

    well done to all attendees, your cars looked great. Dan's is off chops.

    Jim, have finally finished the coilover upgrade..boyee getting the parts to work was a headache.

    I went for the 33Gtr fronts with 10kg springs. Koni damper/height adjustable....but any brand will do.

    S14 rears with some C34 Apex hats and 8kg springs, but you can use the stock hats. just check the spring width. Tein HE's [same as my 180]

    I had probs with the HE's spring widths so went the Apex hats instead of stock.

    SOLID as a rock, just need to do the swaybars to help it push a bit less. Took it out in the wet after install for some doriftu! lol yes.....I'm happy now.

    I'll post some pics when I'm done lowering it.....might need some camber & toe arms, pending on how low we go. Lookout cats-eyes...my muffler is on the hunt.

    Anyone got a link to the core plug upgrade thing ye speak of?

    all the best. :)

    Hey guys, Just into the coilover swap now.......S1 1997 RS4.

    Couple of small questions, What's the difference between 34GTST and 33GTR front coilovers?

    I know the spring rates are different as mentioned in this thread, but are the physical dimensions similiar?

    And will a standard Stagea rear strut hat fit an a/m S14 rear coilover?

    Thanks + Cheers :)

    Hey Jim, if you don't wanna drive up to Gateways just to drive back, that's OK, we can make a quick stop-off on the way.

    We could meet you at the Caltex (I think it is) at the Safety Bay road/Baldivis Road roundabout. That'd be at about 9:45am.

    Anyone else intending to come?

    We[the family] are in, although we might have to meet you there.

    organising everyone that early could prove difficult. But sounds like a good ET though.

    Will be sure to say Hi when we eventually catchup. :)
