hey guys

firstly must say - Thanks for all the info and helping out with questions that i had, i can now say i'm officially a stagea owner!

Bought a 99 RS4 - black - stock with set of rims / dvd player. (its MattD's car off of here)

drove it back to SA from Vic yesterday and didnt miss a beat, very comfortable ride.

i have a couple of questions though...

1 - the cargo barrier - how do i set it up, i have the book cover (retractable thing) do i need to remove this first? i tried today but couldnt figure it out, it just seemed too short.

2 - xenon bulbs - i have them, but how do i re-fit them to the car?

i will try get pics up asap, just busy atm with getting it SA rego'd etc.

thanks

-Matt

Nice work Matt!

Can't help you with either of your questions as I don't have that gear but I am sure someone will chime in soon and help you out.

Cheers

Luke

P.S. I will let Ska do the "welcome to your new aDdIcTiOn" thing...

The cargo barrier fits into a bit at the end of the handles that run along the roof behind the back seat and you need the boot cover in ther to tie it to, with the velcro. At least that is how mine fits in.

Xenons, no idea sorry.

The cargo net can also be hooked to the holes "revealed" when you remove the little tie-down hooks on the ledge just below the windows, and just in front of the handles that fold the seats down - you'll find that the pole for the cargo net extends to meet the holes on each side of the luggage area.

I spent AGES wondering how the rear hooks on the ceiling worked!! Thanks for that - will give it a shot when I get the chance just so I know how it goes...

I worked out the normal installation of the cargo net ok (just behind the rear seats - connecting to the rear struts) but always wondered why there is a second set of hooks on the ceiling a bit further back - well now I know :P

so many little tricks with the stagea...its like a swiss army knife lol!

oh and congrats on the purchase Matt!! I look forward to checking it out on sunday at the photoshoot - assuming you'll be there ;) (also hoping you bring the stag instead of or as well as the ceffy).

ok so, got some pics...

steve/brendon, sorry didnt make it tonight... had issues with the cefiro not starting today (pushing it on my street at 7am trying to get it started, but no luck...) so no SCS for me. decided to stay home and fix it.

enjoy the pics... it does look nicer in real life though :(

no worries. was 2 stageas there (including mine). The other one belonged to stagen(sp?) from this forum. He happened to pull up next to me at the lights today near TTP so I told him about the photoshoot and he ended up coming along :)

no other stags turned up - bit disappointing but still cool to see all the 'lines "lined" up... check the SA section for pics - should look good. I'll upload some here when I get time... :happy:

nearly didn't make it there myself - was quite busy but ended up rushing home to vacuum and wash the car before taking off down to west beach. Most people didn't stay that long - just long enough to get some good "official" photos and then go home :laugh:

urgghhhh .... wasn't me. Unless someone took my stagea for a road trip to SA ... which would explain where my petrol went!!! :)

Great looking car ... love them in black thats for sure!!!

Nah I was never going to the photoshoot - Im still recovering from the patellectomy to my right knee. Cant drive that far. Only driven twice, for 5mins 2 weeks ago just to get outa the house, and 15mins on Saturday morning to get the car service products I needed, for tomorrows turbo upgrade, etc.

Hope it went well there Steve!

Huddy nice Stagea, black is mean thats for sure. I reckon some 18inch 'dark smoke' grey mags would look real-nice :O Hope you are enjoying the Stagea.

Get a Dolphin Aeroform body kit.

Motivation Imports sell copies for ~$1200 a full kit. The car ends up looking as such.

If you want to buy that kit, ill give you $400 for your DAYZ front bar and $300 for the pair of sideskirts, plus $100 delivery to melbourne.

Let me know if you are keen mate.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
