Have We Run Out Of Things To Talk About?

[darrinspencer]

Talking about braided brake lines. I went into PIRTEK, who are a major sponsor of motor sport, only to be told that they are not certified to do brake hoses. I thought that very odd. This is inBrisvegas.

Anyone out there know where to get braided lines here, not only for Stageas, but also S13 and 180s?

PS Hope I havn't double posted this.lol

hey darrin im waiting for the tutorial on putting a r34 gtr front on the mighty stagea

whats the cost worked out all up for you? and do u still plan on making a mould of the masa gaurds or are you not bothering?

Brad

I have spoken to MFX in Sydney about doing a copy of the guards

I have got them to pay for freight from Brisbane to Sydney and return and copy the guards all for free

They would be the final owner of the moulds

From speaking to them on the phone, they sound like they take care and know what they are doing

Even thou the Masa front guards quailty is as good as fibreglass panels get. MFX want to make a quick mould and make a new set of guards and then would need to trial fit to a car before making the final moulds. So they would need a donor vehicle in Sydney to do this.

I better sort this out next week, otherwise Imight get delayed.

cost so far

Masa guards $1100, S/hand genuine bonnet $650 and front bar $1000, headlights $550, R34 GTT bonnet hinges and rod $50. Still need to get new from Nissan all the front brackets and reo for the front bar which is approx $1000.

I had a quick look and took a few measurements the other day of the Stagea radiator support, and thought I might get away from not having to change it to a R34 one. This would save approx $350 plus fitting.

The cars goes next week to get complied. Once I get it back, I will start the conversion before I get it registered. I still not have driven the car yet

I see the lack of any truely "new" stagea related topics recently.

There was once a time that I read/reply every topic, but these days, i reply in maybe 30% of them.

Bring back the glory of the suspension/brakes/SITC/transmission/attessa threads

Yes... I am just killing time

Um... my fog lights flash as my forward facing indicators now! How's that? and I have a set of driving lights (that come with the front bar) back in the lower bumper where the comp shop shoved the standard indicators...

Now I am bored, should I go and start a new thread for no reason and then close it myself stating that we already have had 2 threads of this nature in this section............?

Nahh that would require effort.............

You could create a new user name, then you could create 250 threads asking "Who do I take my car in to for a tune?" (or similar), just like happens every week in the NSW section.

And then you could sign in as your regular log-in, and say "Why don't you do a search instead of just posting the usual questions..."

so THATS what you ended up doing... pretty clever idea, hey.

Ill soon be starting a pictorial thread on CIY fibreglass modifications on bodykits IE duplicating the exhaust outlet to create dual outlets, as well as modifying the front bar - again. Still not happy with it. Will be adding a moulded bracket to relocate the number plate to the side, as well as adding 34GTR style rectangle inlets in the centre below teh grille.

Will be good, showing how to patch up fibreglass bumpers for when you hit a brick or curb or something.

that would be handy. Anybody know how to do a dry carbon parts?

[qikstagea]

going to be doing carbon fibre canards in the big opening on either side of the front bar, too. should be niiiice.

Not sure how to work with raw carbon/fibre though.

[AlexCim]

www.topstage.com.au does fibre parts.

the difference between dry and wet CF is big in price but very similar in terms of weight. I dont think the 100% price increase of dry fibre is worth the 20% weight saving.

Saying that, dry fibre looks 10x tougher than wet fibre which has been overused lately with ricers etc

[CruiseLiner]

we need some manual console surrounds made up i reckon, i might have a go at a fibreglass one and paint it very soon just to see how it looks, i cant dare spend $750 on visual mods, its against my religion

$750 is half the money for a new intercooler or an ATI harmonic balancer

[Ska]

Nah If I get reeeaaaaaaallly bored I'll pick on everyone here and just give out random warning points/bans for nothing really, oh hang on a sec then I'd be banned myself, hmmmmm that doesnt sound very funny at all..............
