hey guys and goils.

i was wondering if any one knows where i would be able to get a rear cut of a stagea say from the a pillar back, as i would like to build a trailer.

even if it is only a shell it doesnt matter as it would be getting gutted anyway but would be nice if it had the windows and all the other glass in it along with the tail gate and lights etc.

if any of oyu guys have any ideas i would be keen to have a look.

cheers oxford

there was a front write off about 6 months ago at auction in perth i think

but from pillars back looked all good i dunno what it went for .try searching the aussie auctions

That car got sold for a dirt cheap price and is currently getting repaired at the moment

Try Kresta in Brisbane 3245 1555

Talk to John

They got hold of the original crash test vehicle from compliance approval

Will/did have some damage in the rear RH dog leg from side impact testing

They may still have the shell.

k great thanks guys.

i have seen a similar one that gave me the idea in a french car mag, it was done with an rs4 AUDI wagon and it looked trick as hell all painted the same colour with the same tint and wheels etc.

the doors on the front still operated but the rears were welded shut so there could be a flat lift up floor put in there that was accessable from the rear tailgate.

whole unit looked the goods and saw another one that was done from the B pillar back so it was shorter and had a flat front instead of a steeled in windscreen area, same model car but different colour so might have been the same family or workshop or something?

I would much rather like from the end of the bonnet back, as I would be using it for long haul journeys back to brissie, so having the windcreen there would make it look that I was towing someone, or someone was following REALLY close! :P

Would be fairly heavy though, that long. You'd need to have its brakes hooked up, i believe. Would be better wind resistance, though...

I figure you could probably use the tailgate from another stagea again, to reverse it and use it to seal the front of the trailer. I dunno. Never done it.

Ive seen it done with a torana. You know how you see them with "torana" decals across the bottom of the doors? the trailer had "torailer". Original. It was from the A-pillar back, too.

hmmm

I think i might do this too

At this point, looks like my current stagea will become my run-a-bout and ill get a 260rs as a fun car.

I just will loose too much on the current one if ill sell it and cant go past the auto and towbar for towing.... a trailer....that is half a stagea.

why dont you just turn your current stagea into a trailer, and tow it with the 260RS ??? :D:D:)

seen these too. the RSsix Stageaccordion.

ps bit of a hassle whippin up one of these bad boys in mspaint... ill leave it to someone else.

simple guys, stiffen up the rear car suspension, weld the tailer onto the car via a ball joint from the a pillar, put rubber around the car/trailer to stop rain and you have one of those bending buses

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
