What are youre thoughts on this? am looking into pricing of lambo style door hinges for my S1 stagea.

I have put them on a mates S15 (see saikoogarage.com, and check out PROJECTS), and they look horn. If they can lift the s15 doors no worries, the stageas li'l front doors should be easy. You can get universal hinges, and if need be adapt them to suit.

I figure it will be something different. I mean, stageas are rarer than most, so one with lambo doors aint gonna be a common sight. It was either going to be lambo fronts, or suicide rears... and due to $$$ constraints - lambo wins out, being a simple bolt on.

Will try and do some photoshopping to see what its gonna look like, but yeah.

What are your thoughts?

yeah i saw that - the gold one with the honda tail-lights and all that? but yeah i figure it would be nice and different.

Just organised the rest of the nismo kit with chris $800, plus $500 paint + fit,

getting the wang off alex $100ish

the soarer-style cat-back split exhaust, no-name brand$600

SK's suspension to lower it $1800ish

The kit is gonna be about $1000 i think...

so about $5k and she's done. Already got the ICE installed.

Will be the nice cruisy show car... Got the 31 GTS for when i feel like doin something stupid.

suicide the rear doors instead... lambo doors on sedans look like arse with a pinch of smelly feet.

hahahah lambo doors look poxy as unless u actually got a lambo.

seen a supra the other day with some and damn they are shithouse :laugh:

f**k the doors, make it faster instead! turbo or doors hmm i know what i'd choose :)

everyones jumping on the showpony bandwagon as of late, how about p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e ;)

anyone for neons????? ;)

each to their own i suppose ;)

C'mon Brad you know you want to pimp it!

Should I cancel your nomination to Ozzie "Pimp My Ride"??? Hosted be Glen Ridge of course...

Each to there own indeed, if it is what you want then you should do it for sure.

Cheers

Ive seen a set on a R33 coupe - looked awesome.

anyway - Im not one to go on a showponyexpress ride, my Stagea is a stealth-wagon alllll the way. hell, Id love to paint the bonnet and roof Pand black, but then it wouldnt be a stealth / sleeper look would it?! Same reason why I went for R34GTT 17's, keep it looking stock.

Remember, its whats on the insides that counts! :(

:wub:

I reckon if you like it, do it!! ... id prefer performance but respect lambo doors!

modifying cars is anything you want it to be performance, looks, ICE ... we all have our preferances im sure you would hate some of my ideas but thats what i like about it ..thats the point to modifying your car other wise we may as well just go buy a white Commonwhore

I reckon you would prob be one of only a very very select few with a Stagea AND lambo doors DAMN!!! hahhaha guaranteed recognition!!!

just my 2cents

do lambo doors on the front, then suicide lambo doors on the rear. would look the shit then.

while you're at it, have the boot split open like a tailgate and lifting only the rear window. split your bonnet down the middle to open sideways.

do lambo doors on the front, then suicide lambo doors on the rear. would look the shit then.

yah, do that.

i wouldnt do anything to the doors, but just fronts is a bit lacking.. has to be fronts and rears

meh id figured that theres no point working a 97rs4 performance wise, better bang for your buck in a 260. so i figure ill just dress it up. hmmm i dont know about neaons though. maybe for shows, but thatd be it.

I just want to end up with something unique. You can put all your money under the bonnet of a stagea, but as soon as it comes to cornering or braking, you lose, its too heavy.

like i said, i have a 31gts for when im feelin the need for speed.

they aint that bad thru the twisties, pretty fast and stable with the awd. with 200awkw the Stagea 'could' be a Hills weapon.

nice - R31.... yum

yeah but if you put the same money into something more nimble, much better results. like in the VR4 thread - you wouldnt buy a stagea to do up for hill climbs, it not an economical option.

Now the R31 though... second hand parts blaster. Has S13 steerring and control arms etc with second hand tein s13 coilovers, no interior, stainless spaghetti manifold, Blown VL turbo that is waiting for a highflow, in-tank bosch pump, 444cc injectors, fmic with a busted core waiting for replacement, turbo back 3". "needs work" lol. 5spd is smooth as. LSD. whole car cost me $2k, so i think i did well. just for a drift pig.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
