Update ->

Been out to one of the performance shops (nothing to do with the stagea, just happened to be driving it) and they had a quick look at the rear driveshafts and diff.

Seems that they ARE the R33 GTR ones :-) I'll update my top post.

the good news just keeps on coming!

It sure does.. If the wife ever moves onto another car (she likes this one) I can see it wouldn't need many $'s to be a very very very quick wagon :-)

Makes my decision not to buy an older rs260(the newest onest are still 2 years older than my 2001 rs4s) even better in hindsight - as I simply don't think they are worth the (large) price differential given my use ie the wifes wagon that I don't mind driving.. :-)

Though, while I'm happy driving the stagea, I still do take the R34 when I have a choice - I like the 200kg lighter feel, it is quieter, and more comfortable than the stagea.

Just that RB26 that is missing I guess... Hard to make up for that one in the long run if you start talking "quick" but then again you are miles ahead in the hip pocket!

nothing that the $20,000 price difference cant fix.

$25,000 versus $45,000 is a massive amount of money for very little difference.

- not to mention you could SELL the fully working NEO engine if you wanted to upgrade to a r34 rb26.. :-) Having a quick look around the internet a few minutes ago, I reckon (if you could do the work yourself) it would only cost a few thousand (net) to swap over...

seats?

They do look similar to mine - but it's not home at the moment so I can't take a pic..

Speaking of pics, does anyone know why I just see the text "IPB Image" instead of the image in the above post? (I had to manually get the link from the repply box..).

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
