Hi Guys,

Just wanted to show off some nice pics that were taken of my car today.

Big thanks to my brother Chris for taking the shots. To see more cool pics visit his site www.chrisbennyimaging.com

Here is a shot of the Stagea when I got it last month:

That looks awesome, what rims are they? What else have you done since you have had it?

They are Axis Hiro rims. 18x8.5

So far I havent done much, just the wheels, split dump/front, metal cat and filter. (it already had a cat back)

I will eventually get front mount, high flow and SAFC. I want about 200kw @ the wheels, but that will have to wait seeing as i blew all my cash on the new wheels!

Thats a frieken awesome carpark for photography hey.

Your tyres are as shiny as your paint!! Awesome photos of a very tidy car, mate. In the first pic it actually looks as though your paint had a greenish tinge to it, but guess it may have just been from the grass.....??

Lookz very niice ...

mate u mentioned getting a hi-flow ..ive done it and if i was gonna go down the same path again upgrading the turbo i would spend a lil extra and get a much better turbo, something like a GT30 (as recommended by cruiseliner) ... especaillly if your chasing some respectible performance figures. This of course will mean there will be a few other things that will require modifying but overall you will have a much better package :P

Congratz on the beast tho mate!!! :)

Your bro can photograph my car anytime, mate. Considering all youve done is throw on a set of (very nice) rims, and it sits lower than stock, maybe? Thats one of the nicest stageas ive seen in a while hey. Not that i see a lot.

haha yeah he is very good! and Stageas are beautiful things... :)

Yeah at the moment, its only rims, suspension and exhaust.

Once I have done a few more things to the car we will get some real beauty shots of it!

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it

      Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days

      RB25 Drama's

      Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By oxisau · Posted

      I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
