A Pair Of Sad Stags

[Burns]

[IMPORTD]

They yours?

[Ska]

Yeah hope you got permission to post those pics from the owners, some are very sensitive about flashing their injured beasts around the internet.........

They look like they could use a big hug

[Burns]

One is mine. The other owner has already posted pics of his.

They are both the victums of twits not looking when they reverse. Both at the same panel beaters.

[Ska]

OK just making sure, hadnt seen any pics of the "white" one.....

[Nozila]

masa 34 front conversion could be an option =D

[Burns]

White one

They are both going through insurance with the other parts at fault so full repair with new parts from Nissan.

ahh its alex's, makes sense now

[AlexCim]

Was my passenger window closed? Looks like he has washed it though.

On another note lol, two stageas at one panel beaters... hahaha

IMO my stag looks tough with no headlights in. Thats how I drove it there, exactly like it looks there I drove from east eastside melbourne to the north west... about 30k. ... got some pretty funny looks

Ill speak with Luci tomorrow.

[Burns]

Yeah your window was closed. The pics were taken on Friday it was washed and locked up. I think he is still waiting for parts. The parts for my car have only just arived.

[AlexCim]

I am getting Darrins front end early next week it looks like.

YAY

[Burns]

So your not getting all new bits through insurance? Luci normaly wont work with 2nd hand bits. Maybe he decided it was worth it given the wait for new bits from Nissan. My car is waiting for him to finish on one of these before it can go into the paint booth.

[AlexCim]

PM me if you want to know why I am using 2nd hand parts, but he is fine to use them, just the insurance comapny wont pay out for new parts, they will pay for 2nd hand bits.

Chris, how are the AP racing brakes mate, make a big improvement?

I see they are fitted there

[Burns]

They are fantastic. I got the 4 pots with 330mm DBA 4000 series rotors, braded lines and Ferodo DS2500 pads. The rears are still stock but I will get some R33 GTS-t rears to put on once the dint and busted gearbox is sorted out. I had to have the mounting holes in the adaptor brackets re-drilled and taped bigger to take the bolts and cut a notch out of them for clearance to the hubs but apart from that it was a piss easy install.

I guess they made a mistake when making the brackets or maybe the Stagea has different front hubs / steering knuckle to a GTR.

The pedal feels so much better, much easier to modulate and threshold brake and the ABS still works as it should or better, they work well when cold or hot. I noticed a little brake squeal when braking lightly in reverse but that was it. They will probably get even better once bedded in; I only got to do about 100km on them before stuffing my gearbox.

are those buddy club rims?

[AlexCim]

Buddy Club P1's. As far as I know they are in a pretty big offset too

[Burns]

Yep they are buddy club P1's 17X8 and 17X9. The rears are a very tight fit. With the Bilstins in before I had the camber bushes fitted the upper inside of the wheel scraped on the lower spring seat.

[Tangles]

how are these 2 going??

[Burns]

One is fixed the other is waiting for parts.

All fixed
