Hiys, had a SAU Sth Australia cruise yesterday (Sunday 19th), I was the sole Stagea out of maybe 30+ Skylines. Nice.

See the SA section, sticked thread title Feb Cruise, pages 17 onwards for photos; I left a tad too early so was only in the 1st lot of photos down by the Victor Harbor foreshore.

Nice to have a Stagea there in the pack tho heading down to Victor from Adelaide, overtaking Porche's & all that!

Seriously considering a Autech 'GTR' Stagea now tho! Sell the bike & wifes car & inport another Stagea (2 for the family), lol.

Id make it a 3 seater as such, extend the seat rails & put in the smallest sized 'legal' steering wheel possible.

Id fit that way, and if the knee ever gets too sore Ive got the Auto Stagea sitting in the garage - that'd be the main family car, and the Autech would see maybe 5000kms a year.

My right knee has had 6 surgeries (3 MAJOR) and the left knee has had 1 cleanout so far (due for another).... so I could possibly get away with it.

Yeah, itd hurt the legs now & then, Terminal, but hell after seeing like 6 or more GTRs in opperation, well, I wanna Stagea version of one now, LOL, even sacrificing my ultimate pleasure of bike riding to do so.

Aim: within 2yrs maybe?

Pg 19, 3rd post, final picture.

Sorry, I left earlier than the others. So missed out on more photos :w00t: wife was REAL narky so I was lucky to even get there.

Ive got a heap of pics on my mobile phone.... I'll see if they are any good.

Hhhmmm, maybe I'll be ok with $3k on a hiflow, injectors & retune, $3k for full suspn package & some front rotors, and $1k for 17inch rims & tyres... and do without a Autech for a little while.

YEAH, bugger it, want 200-220awkw, with handling & braking to match. Bike is going to have to go!

$12grand for sale, with 7k going onto the Stagea

OR sell wifes car & bike for $12k each and borrow another 25k against the house for an Autech GTR Stagea, with no more mods happening to my current Series 1.

YEAH very true AlexCim....

$7k of more mods (once bike is sold - Im CONVERTED!!) would be just nice.

That way would handle well, stop OK, and go faily alright with a GT30-internal hiflow from ATS.

But I reckon owning 2 Stagea's would be the bees-knees. One GTST based and one GTR based.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
