Figure this bad boy may be worth its own thread - 98 RWD stagea - with a 34GTR front...? think they wouldve gone with a manual RS-Four V at least, to be spending that much money on it...

Is it worth the $32k????

that white looks damn hot, i dont know why but it just looks mad with white paint and black windows and the lowered look and subtle bodykit :)

checkout the price of this 1991 Mercedes Benz 108i super gullwing (LEFT hand drive)...

$965,400 landed FARRKKKK :O

Another stagea - much better priced, and i reckon it even looks better. Very tidy.

Very nice for the price hey....

Yeah it's cheap but needs to be, suspension has to be back to stock for compliance and all the plumbing changed back to original too.

Wonder how hard it's been driven?

This car could be really hard to comply, if not impossible. $32k.... you've got to be kidding. you can get a nice original RS 260 for that!

Who knows about the engineering on this.... someone will probably buy it, good luck! Looks don't really amount to much, anyone of our cars could look as good or better. For a 98 25t RSV its an $18,000 car with a front end and kit. I wouldn't touch it with yours!!

Actually makes me wonder why they put this shit on there, this car has to have the seats replaced, the brakes replaced, possibly wheels. It's just a faker, and to advertise it as something special is a joke. someone is likely to get burned on it.

Aftermarket suspension Non compliable

Conversion done with genuine R34 GTR parts:

R34 GTR alloy wheels Non compliable

R34 GTR Brembo brakes Non compliable

R34 GTR front seats Non compliable

R34 GTR radiator support Non compliable

R34 GTR headlights Non compliable

R34 GTR front bumper Non compliable

R34 GTR bonnet Non compliable

Dont take my word ask a compliance workshop. So after all that what's it really worth?

GOOD THREAD THOUGH

......... think they wouldve gone with a manual RS-Four V at least ........

Only one Manual "RS Four V" I know of is mine. Stagea Manuals are "RS Four S" :mellow:

And it's nice looking but good luck on compliance, and just ask how much Darrin has spent on his project to get an idea of costings.

I'd rather a 260RS for that price but!

This is wildcat here using hubbys account opps..

Have to disagree with a few comments made....changing suspension back to stock isnt hard for compliance i went through that with mine..and its not bad at all..you either borrow some or you hire it for the compliance not that bloody hard at all :mellow: Everything else i agree Yes would be a pain in the ass but if someone loves it that much then good luck to them...looks like a very fancy car and to me does look like something special...i would LOVE to be an owner of 34GTR front.....i also love this white one..if i didnt have my baby i would be very interested in it

if you find a compliance workshop willing ot risk their license you could bring the car pretty easily, I'm guessing that why they ask you to call if your interested in purchasing. If you were willing to return it to stock and had the parts free to borrow it would be an ok deal.

What about me?

If i didnt have my car already, that white one would be mine. Id put a stereo in, and thats probably it. Looks awesome as it is. and for thess (lots less) than half the price of the 34 faced S2.... its a winner.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
