I think there was another post about this floating around, but stumbled upon this article on the actual car as well as some rather top photos (unfortunately pretty small ones).

(Apologies if the article has been posted before, a quick search didn't come up with anything...)

Seen the pics before, never read the article, so thanks for that.

i now need some quality "alone" time after this little tidbit..

Kids Heart could have built this off the all-wheel-drive M35 Stagea, which comes with a turbocharged, 276-hp 2.5-liter VQ25DET V6. But because the people at Kids Heart are truly wild at heart, they've stuck with the rear-wheel-drive Stagea and look forward to replacing its prosaic Nissan VQ35 V6 with a turbocharged RB26DETT inline-6 from the previous-generation GT-R R34, making this car eminently driftable.

hmm 10k for the conversion...

Wonder if they would come here to do it for $17k???

Just needs a VQ35dett :)

Interesting article, but I wonder how accurate it is...

"This project begins with the current M35 Stagea"

Nope. M35 Stagea's ceased production in 2007.

That is the 2001-2004 Stagea.

"...they've stuck with the rear-wheel-drive Stagea and look forward to replacing its prosaic Nissan VQ35 V6..."

Nope.

That is a VQ25dd...

I know, I am being anal... but I would like to think that if someone writes an article, they would get their facts straight (or do a little research).

Should be interesting to see how they mate up the RB26 and which transmission they use.

a quick notch of the firewall and it would be fine. The C34 has a dash about half the depth of a M35 so no problems there. I cant say I think the handling would be up for much though, with all that extra cast iron hanging forward of the front axle. Still, it would be good to see, in the way that the S1 drift "ute" was cool.

lets do it

10K just for the body right?

10k for the conversion, but I guess it would cost that for the parts and shipping.

Would look bloody ace in your yellow... err I mean gold. :)

yup

most car magazines/websites are horrendously inaccurate! No one checks anything these days........

i remember when i had my feature, and i got the copy of the mag sent to me in the mail, i start

reading it and im like wtf, thats not how it went, no he didnt do that part!

It was all totally wrong but i guess they have to "edit" it to make it sound more interesting than it

is!

Yeh especially when they give credit to the wrong people, i get annoyed when someone plays

a big part in a build but only got a small mention or they put down that someone else did part

of the work that they didnt even do!

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
