Hey guys,

Pleased to say I picked up my car today (Saturday). 2000 Stagea RS Four V. Interior is very clean, has the wood trim, leather and electric seats, proper floor mats, dual sunroof, triptronic auto with optional?? steering wheel shifters and got 18x8 BBS Rims (looks like the RX Monoblocks but not sure - maybe someone can confirm). Paint is pearl white, bodywork has a few minor nicks and a blemish on the drivers side front quarter panel (hopefully with a full detail can fix it but if it can't oh well). The importer had this or a silver one but the silver one has a factory TV and cloth trim but the clock says 68,000 but the engine has really done 151,000 where as my one has done 100,000 with full service history

Will post pics of the car when there is daylight

Welcome to the Stagea Gang......

Another Prime edition.... nice to have all the extra's, (well I think so)....

BTW the steering wheel controls for the tiptronic are std in all series 2 cars.

Still a very special car, you'll enjoy it, for sure.

i want your rims!

Very nice car.

Sorry Ryan can't have 'em lol

One thing that I still can't believe is how quiet the car is. Had my best mate test drive the car and I couldn't hear it flying down the street. Now I'm going to install a 3 inch cat-back exhaust (got a 3 inch cat-back exhaust from a skyline sitting in the shop that would defiantly need modifying to go in my car)

Also I'm going to lower the car (set of King Springs - CBF for something like Tien Super Streets, I don't see the value for me). I'm thinking around 1 - 1.5 inches all around. Reckon that will look good and would that be legal in terms of ride height

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
