Looking for a cheap upgrade on my POS Stagea snowflakes.

Any idea if these are a straight swap on to the 1997 Stagea RS4 hubs??

I'm in Perth so I'll need to sort out a freight cost too.

hmm whats pos stagea snowflakes lol??

um no idea if they will fit your car. Maybe make a topic in stagea section.

But if its 5 stud im sure it will fit?? right??

Postage should be 150 bucks max i think!! can look into it more if you are interested.

Cheers

I'll check up on the fitting side of things. There are a couple of people here in Perth who should be able to tell me; I'm just waiting to hear back from them.

POS stands for pieces of sh!t. My standard rims that the car came with are a really horrible multi spoke design. I'm more of a 5 spoke fan.

This set of 4 they look pretty clean: do you have all the centre caps for them? What condition are they in? (scratches wise).

Postage: I can work out dimensions okay (16 x 7 obviously), do you have an idea of the dead weight of these? I will need to get a pretty accurate cost on post. Plus I've never bought anything off this site (I'm new to the import scene) so I'll need to read the sticky threads to see how I go about it.

Cheers,

Dale.

Some of the center caps have some yellow marks on them..

But yup they all have center caps.

Some light scratches on the rims otherwise..

Weight i think its about 15-17kgs each rim..

I will take out the rubber for the other two rims to make it lighter. Since the rubber is no use, you wont need it anyways. Or i might leave the rubber on for more cushioning when transporting it..

For large items like this i normally post thru bus frieght (greyhound busses)

Has been the cheapest for me.

Also have sent a rear bar to melb thru them with no damage at all. Took them one day to send!!

Cheers..

Ohh and check the link below for more pics: Just scroll down the page.

I got my freight quote from one of my work's courier companies (gotta love working for a big nationwide company).

I got my quote based on Sydney Metro, would that be correct? The quoted price wasn't too bad actually.

Just waiting to hear how they will fit up to my wagon. I'm hoping it is a straight swap cause every other part on the car is Nissan Skyline GTS-T or GTR. (motor, gearbox, suspension, brakes, etc).

I'll get back to you ASAP.

I live life on my credit card too which might make getting some cash together in the next week or two interesting, but that is for me to sort out.

I'll send you a pm when I get myself sorted. Price is spot on though.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
