Wow. good price for parts there.. I think from memory, because the same box came in the commodores(at that time) aswell, we managed to pick all parts up for 450 but then with upgraded clutch, + all costs for the little niggly bits, (boot covers, gear stick/knob, clutch pedal etc) price went up.. maybe it was 1K minus what we sold the auto for I cant remember but it doesn't matter.

Now we have a faultless box that grabs like it wants to go into the next gear, its great! haha

damn that is one crazy but nice job ;) any news on getting copies of the front guards?

The moulds are getting made now, and will be finished in approx a week

Fitted Tein coilovers today

Tomie Poncams arrived today aswell

Old turbo is off and waiting for new dump pipe to be modified to suit larger Apexi turbo

Once motor is running again, the car will be off to get manual gearbox fitted and dyno tune of power Fc

Then is it can be painted.

BAS and Jamboree coming up in a few months time, so I need to get it finished!

Totally awesome, can't wait to see this finished :thumbsup:

I might get you to put me down for a pair of guards :( thinking about converting to the stagea side :S

Well for nearly 12 months I finally got to drive my Stagea for the second time today.

Got to drive it the mechanic's shop to get the gearbox changed to manual, no more tiptronic

I have done the apexi turbo, tomie type b cams, fmic, teins, r34 brakes and full exhaust and r34 gtr front

Still needs power fc, injectors, fuel pump and z32 airflow meter installed and then it can be dynoed and then get painted.

Much excitement! Any chence you'll be able to bring it to the meet?? Can't wait to see a '34 Stagea in the flesh!

That is the plan, but instaed the of the gearbox being 1 day, the car will be there all week. So as long as it does not get held up, it will be there.

Only got the front guards back form getting copied on Saturday lunch time and car was not back together and drivable till 12.30am today.

It will not look to pretty with silver body, black guards, gtr purple bonnet, white front bar and pearl white ganador mirrors and no side skirts or rear bar, but it will be there.

Allow $4-4500 for the parts plus fitting and painting approx $2-2000

If you are still interested PM me

Here are a few pic's of what they look like and a pic of mine not painted yet and missing a few bits.

I may sell my car once it is painted and tuned, has $25K of mods if you are interested?

    • Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required
