"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

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
