Hey Fellow Wagoneers,

I thought i might design & make a set of skyline tail lights to fit the stagea. I'll use the standard skyline lenses, but make up a custom panel so they fit in where the tail light go now. Below is a very bad representation of what i'd like to do & if anyone is good at photoshop you could give me a better idea.

so what do you all think?

If they come out really well, i'll start making some more for sale if anyones interested.

Regards,

Jeff

I'm guessing if it was properly executed, then the look of Skyline lights on a Stagea could be nice.

I guess we'll have to see if anyone's good enough (and keen enough) to do a PhotoChop and we can go from there...

Having looked into this quiet a bit (as just did custom lights on my "project car" ... making a v2 as we speak) ... you'd have to use either 33 or 32 lights.

I've measured up 34 lights and the outta area of the stagea lights are too small to fit anything bigger than the 33. Even then they'll need to be placed so they sit slightly out of the normal light area (not flush to standard stagea rear lights). You could use 34 lights, but they're not going to sit well (as in flush with sides of car) on the car and stick out a bit

The inners are a piece of cake to do.

My only other concern using 33/32 lights is reverse/indicators, but nothing a bit of bog, fibreglass & some extended wiring couldn't fix l guess.

Somethign like this l was going to do (inc french boxing the no. plate down lower) .... but l cbf'd and would rather spend the time and energy on my other car. But if u do do it def. post up pics.

if you want a skyline wagon that bad... start with a skyline instead of a volvo :D

j/k

maybe the Option/Trial built R33 GTR wagon might give some inspiration. It resurfaced at this year's autosalon repainted white (used to be bayside blueish when it was made about 4 or 5 years ago).

Personaly I think the idea is great ...not using the round tail lights was something that the Nissan boys got wrong when they desighned the Stagea in my opinion. While most focus is on the the front, the rear has been sadly neglected...I still remember the first r33 I ever saw in the flesh my first view was the rear and its one of the cars best points..but then I have always been an ass man!....if you can make em I want em!

Scott.

Funny, i adore the ass of the stagea more then the front

but the longer and longer i own it, i prefer it exactly the way it is, as stock as it is. some wheels and maybe MAYBE a front bar...

Testify Brother! Can I get an AMEN! :P

Skyline lights on a stagea looks gay with aids. And I'm not just saying that to make fun of you guys... seriously, it looks so out of place. For starters the rear seems a lot wider than an R34, which means it looks misproportioned.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
