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

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

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
