I was wondering if anyone in SA would be able to show me there stagea or know of any dealer in adelaide that has them?

Just lately i've realised that the R34 really is pointless as there is nowhere to drive. All it really does is go to work and back. And the closest road with any corners is about 50 km away.

So i am seriously considering getting rid of the r34 and going to a series 2 stagea. Mostly with the missus now it will be useful for surfing. Being able to carry stuff and what not.

So give me a hollier if you can help out or know of anyone that can.

Some of you know me a bit as i'm from victor harbor.

Thanks

It's silver 5 speed manual, 57xxx k's on it now. Got it at 41xxx.

Just got new tyres on saturday. Lovely car just don't think it's what i need or want anymore.

Is it 4door or 2door?

Mt brother is interested in buying a 4door, dependant on price.

Hey guys, not to brag but you could always go the way i did....Genuine Stagea RS260, all the usefulness of a wagon that cops dont look twice at with all the fun and power of a GTR! Awesome car, one i will never regret buying!

nah not braggin at all mate - fact is the Stagea's are awesome cars. I reckon I'll never have a problem with authorities and mine. If I had 40k spare for a second car (less sale of current 10k 2nd car) Id grab our second Stagea in a flash (RS260 Autech of course)............. use the auto RS4 for weekday useage and the RS260 for weekends.

as it is, my RS4 has 160awkw at the moment, fully sorted, and Im very happy with that, what an awesome car, but it'll have 200awkw hopefully within the next year (putting my last 4k onto it for brakes & turbo&tune & autowork, and that'll be the end of the mods).

mate - would love to see your RS260 sometime.

I havent had my 260 dynoed yet but am hoping to get the chance soon as ive already upgraded the clutch and have fitted high flow manifolds, dump pipes and the rest of the system to go with it, so without touching anything else the boost has jumped from 7 to 14psi and has given a noticable increase. Next on the list is turbo upgrades, not sure which way to go yet as the car is my daily driver, but ive been told that a set of N1 turbos that will bolt straight on have the ability to push the power to 300 at the wheels, so thats something im looking into, as a daily i dont think id want any more than that. My 32 has 220rwkw and thats enough of a handful to drive everyday, so i think 300 at all 4 should prove fun enough! If i feel the need to go stupidly fast ill jump on the Suzuki GSXR1000 i just bought, im still running it in and cant take it over 7k revs, but for now im not worried bout going over that cos its fast enough upto 7k let alone hitting power band! lol!

Thanks Madaz, they are some fun toys thats for sure!

As far as the running in im going by what the manufacturer has told me, i no from previous rebuilds on cars that to let them work is good as long as there not labouring too hard, but apparently thats not the case with a bike from what the service guys told me, but its something ill definitely look into as i dont want to end up with any problems after how much ive spent on it! :D

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
