I'll make some local calls and see how we go.

They do a G35x version, so I'm guessing our undertray isn't the same as 350Z. I'm wondering how different the shape of ours would be compared with the G35 too...

Looking at the undertrays on the website the G35x ones are the same shape as our undertrays. I will take the gamble... No way you would get one locally for that price, I wouldn't even bother making myself one.

It's the shipping price that's the killer Scott, calculated cubically I think. I've had a quote of $100+ to ship one over.

By the time you add shipping to it, you're getting to the point where it may be cheaper locally. Not sure how expensive they'd be to ship around domestically for a group buy though.

Maybe we should make another thread on this instead of clogging this one up?

Took my car to Pukekohe yesterday (its going to be closed for a few months as they do it up for the Auckland round of the Aussie touring car series). ATM I have 280awkw but annoyed to find it still not good enough to beat my mate's Subaru WRX RA version. They were a lightweight rally special with over 200awkw and I expected him to beat me in the corners but I couldn't catch him in a straight line either. My timer packed up so my only lap time was a 1.20.4 and I was hitting 240km/hr at the end of the back straight. Next step (when I have the cash) is a couple of reground cams and a full tune - aiming for something like 330kw or hopefully a bit more.

I think you have done damn good. He has slightly better power to weight and possibly a close ratio box. What yr model RA ?

good to hear it ran well mate.

she's a big heavy car....what tyres are you running?

Ex NZV8 17in slicks

I think it was 2001 - came from Possum Bourne Motorsports (was in storage for 10 years and has only done a genuine 10,000km) and has only mild mods - chipped or tuned ecu, better brakes and semislicks -

Any C34 owners who are looking for a cheap master cylider stopper

have a look at gktech: http://www.gktech.com/index.php/r33-skyline-brake-master-cylinder-stopper-clearance.html

They are clearing their R33 ones for $22! I've just ordered one but im not 100% certain the fit but im pretty sure they will

They're not the same as your undertray. The G35x is the same as my undertray.

gktech stuff marked as shipped

boost controller arrived in qld

also, i made a stagea facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/117917321698843/

just to make it more socially available (a lot of stagea owners don't know about the SAU section here)

dammit, i searched on fb and couldn't find anything

i'll join that and pull mine down then!

Installed an Apexi AVC-r on the weekend, anyone had any experience in setting up the speed/gears business, the manual doesnt really explain what the numbers mean.

Hardest part was hiding everything under the bonnet, I need to make a better bracket for the solenoid valve as hanging it off one airbox mount is a bit average.

Should compliment the dump and cat installed a month or so back.

I have used this guide both times i've set up my AVC-Rs. You will want to make up a rubber isolation mount for the solenoid to reduce the noise.

Had my D/S inner CV boot replaced today; it split a couple of weeks ago.

Had a bit of a chat with the CV guy, as he hadn't ever seen a Stagea; so wasn't sure what he'd need to charge.

Quoted a top end of $200; but said it would probably be less.

Get a call about 2 hours later; cars finished!

Then I get "Holy fark mate, what the hell is the go with that car? Took a little test drive to make sure everything was ok, pulled out the driveway, and nearly ended up in the back seat!"

Ended up chatting about the car for about 45 mins when I picked it up; he couldn't believe Nissan never brought it to Aus, same deal as everyone else that has driven it. He was looking forward to Nissan belting the other V8's with that "Quad cam beast of a motor".

He told me they'd gone right over it when it was on the hoist; couldn't believe how well built it was.

Ended up charging me $100 for the job, and that I was welcome to bring it back any time...

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
