Hi all, I put a deposite on a Stage about a week ago and have spent many hours reading about them since. I have found this site to be an unbeatable source of nfo so thought i better join up and sho off my new wheels. I pick the car up in about a week and i tell you the wait is well...... painfull. I got the car though a work mates brother and currently waiting for it to be complied. It cost me $14000 all up on road with 6mths rego. I took it for a test drive and noted that it was very bouncy? other than that it was awsome. Does it look lowered in the ( poor quality - fone ) photos i have ?. Here are the details I know about it:

1997 Stagea RS Four - DAYZ

auto ( :( )

Grade 4 import

76,000 k's

Excelant condition.

Remote start

Many thanks in advance for your input.

yes, i 100% gaurentee it is lowered.

If its bumpy, probably has coilovers and had fatter wheeres in japan.

On another note, i predict you have a motorola A920 or A1000?? My motorola did the same thing in the photos with the black spots :(

Sweet that it has been lowered, hope it does not slow up compliance tho. My fone is an o2 XDA mini.

Well done, nice price too. Definatly lowered too so might be worth checking it out and seeing what is missing and visit SydneyKid's suspension group buy thread and buy anything that you need.

And Welcome to your new aDdIcTiOn!

HELL YEAH ! i got a Hayabusa... no pics here at work tho. Will post some when I get home. ( better not put the ones with the naked misses sitting on it on here either.. lol )

mmmmmmmm naked missus, OOPS, I meant mmmmmmmmmm Hayabusa

hahaha nice one

mod'd at all (bike, not the missus)?

read below link to see what sillyme did to my 'Blade - better power:weight ration than a Hayabusa or Zx12R!

ZX12R is my dream bike, I find the 'Busa too low for my size.

Plus Im not a fan of the looks of a Hayabusa or the Blackbird, whereas I reckon the mean-as looking ZX12R is nice indeed.

But damn knees are dictating to me that I get off for a while, god damn Im going to miss her.............last ride this weekend I reckon.

EGA must have killed a Chinaman for his wheels to have taken so long to get here.

Mine took 22Dec to march 3rd for rego and I missed the Christmas boat.

26 Jan to May 9th for rego... Try buying one in Vic though, very little to choose from, and we need more imported anyway so I've done my bit!

nice new ride - the dayz bodykit is nice, i nearly picked up a dayz edition - it didnt have that grille though... i reckon the front bar looks like an S15... strawberryfaced stagea? And yeah thats definitely lowered, so if you want to swap back to standard suspension lemme know... :O

enjoy it! treat it nice, like.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
