After 2 years of not owning a rb powered car, ive purchased a 1997 Rsfour Stagea in a red colour, it is completely standard but has a dayz sticker on the back, done 132000kms. It needs a little bit of a clean up and a few bits replaced (needs a new front bumper) but other than that its good.I pick the car up next weekend

I picked it up yesterday and did the 200km drive from Hobart to Launceston without any dramas and it was pretty good on fuel though, 1/4 tank used on the way up. Today i gave it a wash, the previous owner had owned it for 6 years and dont think it ever saw water or a sponge, its going to need some parts resprayed as the paint is faded badly and some parts on the sideskirts and rear plastics are worn. It also has a non turbo front bumper on it without any air dams or openings on it as the previous owner broke the old one. The Dayz sticker on the back is just a sticker, dont think there are any Dayz options on it. It has the standard 15 inch wheels, 132000kms, all the electrics work. massive quantity of documents about service history and parts been bought. No rust under wing mirrors or strut towers. Im going to get some photos of it up soon and then slowly get it modified a little.

Well pretty sure it has dayz sideskirts; and perhaps it had a lower lip spoiler before the previous owner broke it? Well done on your new RB - I think a Stagea is a fine vehicle to put one in too :D

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
