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!!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
