Heater core not fixed yet, but I'm told buy new wheels cures all R35 350 GT skyline wheels, 18x 8 +30 rims with 225/40 and 235/40 tread. Have gone for a flush-ish look with +25mm spacers up front and +15 in the rear making it essentially 18x8 +5 front and + 15 rear. In the photos the 25mm spacers are still in the back and the 15's up front, they were switched around. Will try get a few better snaps when the stinkin rain pisses off.

So I went to Cool Car in Hamilton and was quoted around 500 for a new core. seems stupidly high.I can get a second hand one from trademe for <100. Off to some place else now. look some more.

Hey all Just joined up after a while of trawling these forums. Bought my stagea about a year ago.Figured Id say hello and post some pics.I dont think its anything special, no rare of unusal parts that im aware of. Its a 97 RS4 , 25det auto, twin sunroof, privacy rear windows, lowered on 18's (which i hate), came with a stupidly big and loud drooony cat back exhaust. Its bog standard in the engine bay.Pretty sure the bodykit on it is a DAYZ edition ( can someone clarify) Thus far I've fitted the tow bar and wheel spacers all round to fill the guards a little.Also purchased some Snowboard roof racks as it was bought to go to the snow ( 4wd, big boot). Also put some 6x9's in the rear doors as the factory ones had literally disintergrated. Previous owner put a headunit and some unknown 6.5"s up front with seperate tweeters. Some previous owner pranged it, rear bumper has damage, front bumper and hood have been replaced and badly spray painted a similar silver. Right guard has a couple of dents. /rant more pics Lastly, I need some tech help. Heater core is leaking as of yesterday. Was about to blame mum for buying fish from the grocery store when I noticed a nice puddle of green in passenger footwell. FML Have read about it on the site. seems the skylines are easier to do, as behind the glove box, the skyline doesnt have the dash bar going across. So, on a stagea, do i have to pull the entire dash or is there another way??( Airbag business scares me, rather not mess with that stuff ) Also, the core itself, are the skyline ones interchangable, if so, which model do i need to look for??? I dont like my chances of finding someone wrecking a stagea who i can get a stagea specific one. PLEASE HELP. Thanks in advance.

Hey all. Finally signed up after months of anonymous trawling of these forums. Bought a stagea coming up to a year ago. C34, 25det, auto, now 170km's. Although its meant to be a daily driver I cant contain myself. Always looking at new mods. Would love a new set of rims and a Manual conversion. Primarily purchased whilst working in CHCH to take me to the snow ( its 4wd) big boot space, bought a roof rack for the boards etc etc. Now its home ( Hamilton ) parts hauling between here and Auckland for my project
