Im just looking around at buying a Stagea. What are my options with models and things? Should i buy something already modified or get a stocko then modify myself. What sort of power can the driveline handle??

I know the 260rs is the GTR version would it be cheaper to replace the 2.5 with a 2.6 after purchase?

How much power are people making with there wagons??

What is the weight difference over a R33 gtst??

Any info would be appreciated

Cheers,

Rob

Replacing the RB25DET with an RB26DETT isn't as simple as replacing the engine, you need to go deeper, replacing suspension, driveline and electrics. If you want the GTR power, get the Autech version, otherwise stick to the standard RB25DET version.

We went down the Rb25 to Rb26 route, and I could have bought a 260RS for the cost of the conversion. To be fair, we had ours modified at the same time, but in hindsight it would have been enourmously cheaper to have bout a 260RS in the first place.... I'm still trying to source a manual guage cluster and centre console.....

RS4S is a series 2 stagea.

so more or less late 98 onwards.

J-Spec, Prestige etc are worth talking to.

EGA4IT spent forever trying to sell his one locally (finally did), they appear from time to time at auction in japan.

the R34 PowerFC will run these with very little modification.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
