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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
