I'll say having the wheels cambered in to sit under the guards does look hot, but it's a bit of a waste having such a wide rim cambered up (lose alot of traction). I'd prefer to see those wheels with less camber and a bit of guard work to match.

pu tit this way

my cedric wore through SIDEWALLS

not tires.

literally

a set every two or 3 months

thanks Grant the xd9s look hot, definately suit the car in silver too (mines silver too) and fitment actually looks good and not too extreme :) Could u take a pic of your rear gaurds close up from the side to see the flaring work?

i will tomorrow

its dark outside now

that looks tough... so much camber it looks broken, which im not a fan of, but a tough looking car. Wow i hope it is sitting on airbag suspension? Safe to drive it in the snow like that? Do they run the 4.5L V8?

i run a VQ30DET with some mods bringing to an actual 300PS dyno number

yeah it has a custom S13 suspension swap with coilovers and airbags on the coilovers

but i actually drive lower than that daily

safe is a relative word in the VIP world

haha wow i really hope your joking... but then again there are a lot of tyres in the background of your stagea pics!!!!

thats why i haev so many

most of those are 225/40/18s

only liek 4 arent.

i have 8 more in another location

lol

funny story (kinda long i guess)

I was at a stoplight where some cops were talking

they kept looking at my car and pointing. SO everytime they looked away i would hit the switch, and lower the car a little. This went on for like 6 or 7 times until the light turned green and they were looking at me. I hit the up switch and they literally jumped with huge eyes lol. It was soooooooo funny i was laughing for like a day

Nice fitment on the Stagea, what wheels are they?

I was running 10 +20 rear and 9.5 +1 fronts on my Stagea. To me it wasn't extreme fitment, but for Australian standards it was a fair bit extreme.

Would have lowered it more but the suspension did not allow me, plus the rear sometimes sagged during towing so the height that I had was idea. I left the front gaurds untouched, and the rears just got a lip. Didn't want to flare incase I put thinner/higher offset wheels when selling, but the guy bought it with the wheels.

Here are two photos of my previous two cars.

My first car:

I want to buy another Stagea in future and VIP the shit out of it. Stagea + VIP = WIN

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
