Hey Guys,

well the beast arrives tomorrow and in its modified state, its not going to pass compliance!!

it has a twin aftermarket air filter set-up which needs to be replaced with a standard airbox.....does anyone know if the R33 GTR airbox will fit, or does anyone happen to have a standard autech airbox which i could borrow?

The exhaust may be another problem.....again does anyone have a standard autech stagea exhaust hanging around??

I know this is all a long shot, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Tim

First things first, what state do you live in, and what area?

I'd assume that the R33 GTR aribox should be the same, as the RB26DETT in the Stagea (whether series 1 or 2) is the same as that in the R33.

Here in Sunny Qld. our complier has most bits to standard for a fee. The he puts your bits back after.

That is if its just wheels, exhaust and air filter box.

Is there any other 260RS owners in Vic??

does anyone know if the stagea (260RS) airbox is def the same as the GTR one?? like does it have the same mounting points?

all help greatly appreciated

Give Mick Martin a ring at SVI in Brisbane/silverwater(?) he should know about airbox issues cos he did mine back in September '06. BTW compliers get buckets of money for sorting all this crap out so you can have the car you paid for in the first place. lol

for a HD clutch frrom Jim Berry will cost you probably abt $8-900 with a swap over for your old ones. Race pace my tuner is able to offer me for A HD clutch installed for about $1.5k with no swap over. To tell you the truth i still have no idea which one to trust. But heres the link to Jim Berry and some info on the clutched from the forum.

When I got mine the std clutch was on the way out, replaced that with a 5puk. Thats now shot and have a twin plate Direct Clutch going in. I have heard good things about the JB clutches though.

I just had a clutch rebuilt last week from Jim Berry. The originally was built by Direct.

Jim found some pretty rough workmanship from the last rebuild.

It now healthy 3000lb clamp which should be heaps for my Rb25DET

I have not used the clutch yet, I am still converting my car to a manual

Something Jim did say, was the 260RS clutch has a lighter clamp pressure than a 33 GTR. So with a few hard launches and the extra weight of the Stagea, no wonder they do not last.

Rust, I have some in my drivers door which will be fixed soon when my r34 front end gets painted

What did you want to know?

I guess he just wanted to know how to go about fixing it.

It was something my best mate and I pointed out to him when we met at the tint professor.

Its pretty simple, remove the mirrors, sand the rust back, fill the gaps, paint the entire door, reinstall mirror, finished.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
