"So does that mean that stagea fronts will bolt on? Didn't you say it was the same as r33 ie need s14/15 front hubs? If its straight bolt on then im getting stagea setup!"

FFS yes Stagea front bolted on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said Stagea lower control arms appear to be the same length as s14 i.e couple of mm longer in reply to the guys question about wider stance

We used stagea front lower control arms so you dont have to do the Adz gay f*kn press in s13 ball joints or f*kn whatever

only problem is needing to use s14 coilovers in the front or redrilling out your s13 coils so it can take the s14 bolts

to me I'd rather use s14 or whatever you have's lower control arms and sort out the coils than the other way around seems much easier

Huddy all we did was use the stagea 5 stud hubs and rotors thats it didnt need touch the handbrake mech on the ceffy at all........ at all!

grr

No Adz no engine in Friday, Friday is a work day so Saturday afternoon maybe if Huddy's upto it will try and fit it

told ya he wants to bang ya ryan LMAO ROFL - if u and the huddy need help il do what i can, and try not too hinder u guys as per usual, after all it is my specialty.........

il make sure my work hats on

as for why ryan is upset........is because he's quite simply posted what EXACTLY was used to convert the ceffy and still gets dumb ass *MILKSHAKES* asking him dumb ass questions

*recalls a dumbass g1 question*

*nathan g1 points at stagea cradle*

*nathan g1 points at tellys hicas rack on cefiro cradle*

nathan: are you going to put that *points at hicas rack* onto that? *points at non hicas cradle*

me: no we are not. as that is a hicas rack, hicas = bad.

nathan: oh... well these arms look adjustable are we transferring these? *points at hicas arms*

me: no, no we are not... they are evil also

Hmmm re drilling the coil holes doesn't sound to nice and RWC on a road car. But as long as the hubs bolt on im satisfied.

BTW if this doesn't work. I know where you work :blush: lol

Note: FS: R33 brake setup :ninja:

...and to this.

I don't know if it's because you are from SA that you could understand, but personally I couldn't quite grasp what he was trying to say with all the un-punctuated typing. So I thought I would clarify the situation before going out and spending $$$ on a new brake setup. I do apologise and will keep my "dumb ass questions" to myself in the future, even though I was sure this was a technically based forum.

Oh and one last thing....

STFU

konnect

i have done front conversion using s14 (which is same as stagea... has the 14mm bolt holes on the stub axles)

i used s14 coilovers in the front (i had the luxury of when ordering brand new ones from japan specifying my fronts are to have s14 bottom collars) but full s14/s15 ones will work in the front... but need to use r32/s13 coilovers in the rear

also i believe you can get away with just changing the front hubs rather than whole stub axles also (like you do on the rear)

i unfortunately didnt go down this path... i did full stub axle and r33 balljoints in lower control arms to fit the s14 stub axles

if i were to do it again id just put the hubs into the cefiro stub axles on all 4 corners of the car and remove the brake dust covers and fit my 33 brakes... but the way ive done it isnt bad - it just cost me an extra... 100 bucks for the balljoints in the lower arms

1 - no arms on the ceffy or stagea were adjustable and your making a whole bunch of shit up, however i did ask a dumb question that day and thats the only point il give u.

2 - your the one who F***d the whole thing up and the ceffy cradle was used anyway and the stagea hubs transfered coz u had no idea WTF u were doing

3 - im over it, its done......sayonara

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
