I dont know, I am undecided but as far as it looks to me,

- behind the rear door its too short, but the doors look OK.

- the roof only has 1 sunroof no 2

- JP normally make kits for cars like cimas, celsiors, centuries, glorias etc. VIP's not wagons.

- Proportions look f**ked up

Holy shit though!!, check out that interior, that deep, deep paint and those wheels - they rock. Might not be a Stagea, but as a fellow waggoneer, I dips me lid. :thumbsup:

Wholy Crap Nick yours is High!! No offense but MAN you could drive that thing along the beach on fraiser!

But mmMMmmMMmm love that dark green colour, that and the dark blue, like SK's, bloody nice!!

About that VIP stagea -

guys its a junction produce kit on a toyota crown wagon... those are factory up-spec crown headlights (with the chrome backgrounds) and front end, not S1 stagea... compare the size of the main headlight to the amber fog light - with the stageas there is a much bigger difference. look at the bonnet and shape of the grille, not stagea at all. The whole headlight is the wrong shape, hey.

that car is pretty well stock except for a lip extension and ride height, im pretty sure. Oh, and BMW Z3 guard vents.

Saw these in japan. Save for some mercs, this would be the finest waggin you could ever want to be seen in. Except for all of our own little bits of work in progress...

Speaking of work in progress... heres mine!

cant wait to get rid of some height... will be at the local car show 26th august. will have the kit from chris (AMS) by then, which means i can get the exhaust done, finally get one of SK's whiteline kits. Then, the scissor doors, and its DONE!!

Yeah I know, I did a quick measure one day and it was 400mm from wheel centre to guard, so it neads AT LEAST 2 inches (~50mm) drop. Problem is, I have a sneaking suspiscioun that my second turbo might be on its way out, so the SK suspension will have to wait a bit longer again...

When I decided the Stagea was the car for me, it was always going to be either dark green, dark blue (like SK's) or dark red (like Chris' old car).

A couple of pictures of mine at a local skyline owners meet - there was a nice S15 there too - mine was the only car there with unicorns - still a very rare sight in the UK - also notice the sunshine!

AND yes I know mine needs dropping by about a foot too! Before you guys mention it - it's on the list :)

Here's mine :thumbsup:

Pretty much stock - got a shift kit installed today tho!! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has an auto!

Didn't go overboard on shift harshness - so the gear changes are still very smooth (dont notice 3rd to 4th change) but very instantaneous!! yay!!

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
