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

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
