Run-It-Hard

One of the major downfalls of the Stagea is that it’s a really “boaty” ride. Ok fair enough it’s a big car, but c’mon! Even with the first setup (10/8 spring rates) it had less than desirable body roll. With the new build I am focusing on having a great all round package. So it’s time to look into the suspension department. While the Tein Super flex wagon coilovers are halfway to Australia, I ordered a few other parts to get the suspension side of things down pat. One part just happens to be a Cusco rear strut brace. For a while I was under the impression that rear strut braces were no longer in production for the Nissan Stagea (Trust/Greddy ceased production some time ago), until I dug a little deeper. I came across RHD Japan being mentioned on some very old threads. So I had a browse around and there they were. The Cusco Type OS strut bar (which happen to be on special), with the Stagea listed to still be in production. I placed an order and patiently waited for the Cusco brace to land in Australia, turn around time was roughly 1 week (gotta love EMS). It made quite a bit of difference too, the rear of the car feels nice, responsive and more stable. Where-as the front of the car feels more “floaty” than it did before the brace was installed.

I've been sitting on this for a while now, my RB25/30 setup that was being built for my R33. Just don't see the need for it now. What it consists of: RB30 S2 block out of an R31 Skyline (roughly 110k) RB25 turbo complete head (includes covers etc) ARP head studs (brand new) Lewis engines oil drain kit (head to sump, near new) Block looks to be in great condition (still has hone marks), could probably whack it all together and go for gold (that's what I was going to do). Or could build it up to be a monster! Happy to ship at buyers expense Located in Smithfield Looking for $1100 ono

UP for sale is my 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 rolling shell. It's a 1993 Series 1 R33 Skyline, factory turbo and all that jazz. It left the factory in Burgandy, but the car was painted in a colour similar to bayside blue a few years ago. It has just run out of rego (5rd August). So it's quite easy to get registered (no defects or anything against it). It does not have an engine, gearbox, diff, R33 brakes (will have stagea brakes supplied) and other misc parts (some interior pieces etc). What it does include is: Wiretucked engine loom, with fuse box in cabin. Nissan Stagea rear subframe, completely eliminates HICAS 20mm Origin front guards nismo clear indicators URAS front bar some bad points: missing a few parts, like handbrake setup, clutch parts, etc. Was going S14 front suspension and tubs so as you can see we have cut out the standard tubs. They are supplied, but will need to be welded back on. All in all, the shell will need a bit of TLC to get it looking tip top, there are a few blotches of sikaflex around it, due to the PO having a aftermarket sideskirts, pods etc. The paint is in good condition as you'd expect though. This would be perfect for someone looking to start a new project, it is a blank canvas. Price: $1200 or nearest offer. If the price is right I might even chuck in some spares that haven't sold yet. Located in Liverpool region. hit me up! Adam.

Ain't that the truth! It's beyond a joke now. GLWS mate, seen it in person a few times ... thing is off the chain!

Last week I did a blog entry about finding a set of Work Euroline wheels for my Nissan Stagea. The idea of purchasing those wheels was to run them until something with “ideal” sizes came along. Funnily enough a day after writing that blog entry, Benny hit the jackpot! He found a set of SSR Viennas in sizes that would be perfect for the Stagea. Soon enough I contacted Jesse and put a outragous bid on them, I was not going to let these go anywhere! Seeing that I’ve been buying so much gear from Japan I’ve run into a problem of shipping things to my selected adress. The way I’m going customs will think I am running a business and will start charging me taxes and all that jazz. So I took my chances and advertised the Eurolines on a few forums. Within a few hours they were sold, talk about luck! The only thing that is slightly worrying about the Viennas is that the rears are 10 and a half inches wide. I haven’t come across any Stageas running anything wider than a 10 inch wheel at the back. I have a few ideas to help me get some more clearance though, It’ll be interesting to see how it’ll go. Benny was on a roll! He is the master at finding wheels on Yahoo auctions, I kid you not he will sit there for hours on end, looking at every wheel on offer until he finds something interesting. He also came across of a pair Work Euroline N2 wheels. These were an absolute bargain and aggressive in sizing too (18×10 -10). They will make a great pair of skidders and have almost identical fitment to the Viennas. Best of all, they should all arrive right before Wakefield Matsuri. Hopefully this will quench my thirst for wheels … for a while. DINNER PLATES - TAKE 2

no idea mate, I'd say around 2 inches. 2nd photo is one of the rear wheels. If they were in the teens, they wouldn't be this cheap! (nor would I be selling them).

No one needs a new set of pads?
