My Greddy catch can turned up today! :D

Going to be a big weekend for the Stag. Hopefully will fit the sway bars, adjustable rear toe arms, plenum spacer and catch can.

Wait and see when Brad is available to give me a hand fitting the new stereo, and hopefully HDTV tuner. Fingers crossed the stereo will work with the NTSC screen!

Once the catch can is in, have to organise the HDI intercooler finally. Held off until I had the catch can, because I didn't want to immediately fill it with poo!

I think you are doing it wrong? :ermm:

this one:

aux in for the TV, full ipod connectivity+ bluetooth handsfree, AAAAAAND the best part, can use factory steering wheel controls :)

Sounds good. I'm after cruise control, and Chris Rogers has his setup that uses the factory buttons, will be going with that. Looks awesome, and I want cruise control for trips.

yup!

only works with the factory 6 stacker, not the RS single DIN unit.

So this Clarion HU will work with the steering wheel remote?

Nice...

I'm looking at a couple of Alpine models...

That's if I ever get the single din conversion done...

yeah it will work with factory remotes

and guess what? it just arrived!! thats not bad, ordered around 10pm last night lol

ok it did only have to come from granville

check out www.soundmaster.com.au

the prices seemed pretty good and they had a decent range too

Been wanting the side mirrors (original option) with the LED indicators in them for a while now (from the Stagea Optional Parts Catalog):

Was toying with the idea of aftermarket LED ones (plenty of different types on Yahoo JP) but personally i think they all look crap. So i decided i would stick with my original idea of getting the original factory option ones, and i reckon in the last 6 months or so, i have nearly bought about five different sets (all different colour to my car though) but for some unknown reason kept refraining - probably 'cause i couldn't be stuffed trying to get them repainted pear white to match my car.

My reluctance to purchase previously has paid off, cause i just won a pair off Yahoo JP for 13,500Y - not bad i reckon (considering no repaint required)..

Looking forward to fitting these in a couple of weeks...

I've had a lot of people comment on mine, although the way they fit they almost look like they're a clip on cover over the mirror?

I thought they were a clip on....I'll have to check mine again

They are a cover over the mirror. Look bloody good.

So, they are just covers - more just popped up in Silver on Yahoo JP.

As you said they still look good! :thumbsup:

Another option is the Series 2 Factory option mirrors which do not appear to be clip on. Just checked the Options catalog for this model to be sure - and they are listed in there also - one piece with LED & colour coded triangle mounting plate....

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
