On Saturday night, I finally won a Stagea at auction in Japan

Should be here in approx 3-4 weeks, and then off to compliance.

I do not have any photo's yet, but will do by the end of the week

Series 1, Pearl white, twin sunroof, 17 wheels, exhaust, Dayz side skirts and front and rear skirt, rear wing. Grade 4BB

Stage 1 Mods- Once I get it complied and registered, I will be doing the front R34 GTR conversion, new side skirts and rear bar and fit the 34 GTR wheels. Will need to be lowered too.

Stage 2- more power of course!

Nice one Darrin!

Sounds like what I was searching for, love the Dayz kit (even though you are planning on changing it) and the twin sunroofs. Hope all goes well, who are you getting compliance through? PM me if you don't need it to be public.

Cheers

Luke

Craig told me you had the R34 guards lined up already... did you get em straight from masa or a locally made copy?

Congrats on the car dude, glad you didn't end up buying the damaged one off your mate.

I bought the guards thru a agent Masa put me onto to deal with.

The guards, along with a genuine 34 gtr front bar and the 34 GTR wheels are all on 3 different ships in the pacific ocean somewhere

Will hopefully get them this week or next week

There is a set of moulds locally, but the owner did want to make me a set.

It is good timing too, the yen has gone from 85 to 89 in the last week

The other guy is not really a mate, I just know him!

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
