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.

    • Hey   ive gone for a terminated harness on my build so selling brand new unused and unopened piggy back harness  https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-141357-elite-2000-2500-nissan-skyline-r32-33-r34-gt-r/ Located Bathurst NSW   price $600 + postage     
    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
