Well, after haunting these here forums for over 3 months and quietly sucking all the info I could from the fine people here, I have just sold my soul to the bank and slapped a deposit on my new Stagea!

To all you WA folk, I have got this beast off the new kid on the compliance block - DCImports.com and so far I can thoroughly recommend them. Regan seems to be a fairly straight forward bloke who has done me a great deal and I think it is fabulous that we now have a choice of compliers in WA other than the one we all know and bitch about. He also had a nice selection of 2 door stageas :P laying about the place for those that way inclined.

I will be picking the green machine up in a weeks time and I will have more photos then, but for now heres the one they had on their site.

:sorcerer:

Dude LOVE the colour...

Always glad to see another addition - need some more for the east coast, though...

No tint at the back, and no lip on the front bar???? bit unusual, hey....

Yeah, kinda blew me away that there was no "privacy glass" in the back too, (first one I've seen like that)not to mention that the entire console is woodgrain too, including the gearshift facia. It has a few oddities about it but its super clean and the kids just fell in love with the roof mounted screen for the in dash dvd player, and I fell in love with the viper alarm and turbo timer. That'll be another few $$$ I can spend on mods..... :huh:

It also has a few bits 'n pieces that I haven't heard about before, such as a switch on the dash just left of the wheel that lights up a picture of the front and rear diffs on the dash, and it has the standard power switch on the gear console, but it also has a "snow" setting - WTF??? any idea's/explanations would be appreciated

ahhh.... been covered im not sure if i remember... The diff button locks the transfer case to 50/50, i believe, as oppose to all to rear unless lippages occurs, as the ATTESA system dictates.

The snow setting... beats me. Locks all four wheels for grip...? i know it was covered somewhere.

The power button is the same as on commodores etc.

maybe the back glass has been broken before and they put plain glass in instead of the factory dark stuff?

Thats what I thought, but there is no privacy glass at all - the whole car has that greenish tinged 99% uv tint and thats it - it will make it easier for the better half to reverse at night I suppose..

:huh:

Got it in one! Just my sad attempt at humor.......

I cant figure the car out, it has a fairly different trim in a lot of ways, but according to the sticky thread, it is an RS Four as far as I can figure and it does have the electric boot closing thingy. The main thing is its in great condition.

Look familiar? no window tint, no front lip. Different grille though (ill add that one of those grilles will be arrinving on my doorstep within the week).

This is from the stagea sales brochure, covering the rs, rsfour, and rsfourv.

I think that yours is like the newer ARX variant - no lip to add ground clearance or something like that, and no tint for better visibility...?post-24895-1164075709.jpgpost-24895-1164075792.jpg

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
