Good Day ,

Just Picked up my Stagea RS Four from the work shop,bought the car for my wife.It's a 1997 (R33) twin sunroof,automatic very standard when i got it.Put my standard GTR R 32 brakes on it upgraded to braided lines stops quite well now.Put in a full Nismo 3" exhaust system including dump pipe(got it second hand) changed to K&N high flow Fliters,car is breathing and expleling air much better.The car is running a rear 255 and 235 front tyre set up on 17" rims.

The reason a put up this post is because I need help in finding some parts for the car and assistance on my suspension set up.

The car came in without the rear spoiler and the grill badges can anybody assist me in finding a shop in Victoria that carries these parts or direct me to a on-line shop.

You Guys here at Skyline Australia ha been a great help with my GTR R32,THANKS

look foward to your advice with my STAGEA

Is it RWD only? The tyre sizes would indicate a possible difference in rolling diameters.

I just got a standard spoiler from Nizz Pro here in Ashmore. If you get a stock type I can PM on how to fit.

search Yahoo Japan for bits n pieces (wont find stuff in shops)

and ask Slidewize (trader section) to bid for them on your behalf

change the tyres, if AWD, to be equal, or you'll have an Very Expensive attessa repair issue

You can have wider tyres on the front and rear so long a the rolling diameters are the same. he meantioned it was an RS Four, so I'd assume AWD.

Thanks Guys for the advice,the car comes with a switch either for AWD or rear wheel drive only operations,I am currently running on rear wheel drive,plan to change all tyres to 235-45-17.

Wot switch?????

It's installed to the fuse of the FWD, anyway all tyres are of 45 profile and rims are 17" rolling diameter not affected

The transfer case is setup for AWD.

Even if all tyres are of the same profile, the 45 represents % of width, not tyre height. Differences in widths equal different rolling diameters.

Rear Spoiler and badges are no problem to send direct from Japan to you within 21 days. Just have a look at our site for more info.

this switch is the same as pulling the fuse,good idea,which is good but according to threads on this and peoples experiences it is bad for a few things/clutch packs(am i right anyone) and shafts etc,just in case you are new to stags and didnt already know,could be wrong just my knowledge

Bad idea with this switch. Its fine for R32GTR's (and R32 GTS4's too I'd guess) where you can just pull a fuse or hook up a switch but any attessa system based on R33 upwards you need to remove the front drive shaft to run in RWD safley. When you just pull the fuse (or switch, same thing) there is still residual (spelling :) ) pressure in the system causing the clutch packs to sill engage which will cause them to burn out = expensive repair. For short amounts of time it'd be ok but there have been other forum members that have had this happen just on 2WD dyno runs. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but pretty sure this is correct!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
