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

G`DAY JASON GOOD TO SEE ANOTHER STAGEA ON THE ROAD HOPE YOU HAVE A BALL WITH IT ENJOY YOUR MOTORING DUDE,LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING SOME GOOD PHOTO`S,GRAET STUFF DUDE CHEER`S chuckie.

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

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
