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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
