Nismo

Is it?

Knew it wasn't a standard factory item when I got the car but wasn't entirely sure exactly.

Car came with it from Japan with Nismo speedo cluster, Nismo cat back exhaust, Nismo rad cap, air filter and Nismo badge on the rear tail gate.

Was all these options or just guessing the previous owner liked Nismo items?

Yes, it is Nismo.

Those could all be factory optioned for an RS (although not sure about the badge on the rear).

Perhaps you should check the ECU, you may have lucked out there.

That said, I do not see any Nismo side skirts, rear bumper nor spoiler so perhaps he/she ran out of Yen.

Which Nismo exhaust? Round or square tips (below). I miss my old Nismo exhaust sound.

Yes its the square tips

Am happy with the tone and is quiet enough to not be annoying when doing daily and highway driving.

I would like to lower it a little to reduce the wheel arch gap but dont want to run into clearance issues with parking and curbs and steep spoon drains/driveways due to the front bumper - so i guess ride height will have to stay the way it is

Been a bloody long time since if frequented this fine forum let alone post something! But here goes.

After doing a big end bearing on number 2 cylinder a few months back. I've finally got the car back after a full engine rebuild with Powertune in Sydney.

The car is still on a run in tune, but it goes better than ever (but trust me, it went bloody good before it shit itself...)!

I'll let the attached photo's do the talking from here on in... Gunna be one tough Stagea once it's had its final tune!

Well its been a big weekend.... after 2 days the Axis kit is installed. The flares are secured to the body permanently and do not have the rubber strip between them and the body. It is such a cleaner look. Now to wait for my grill that is on its way from japan. A big thankyou to Aleks Capeski Chris Murph Daniel Savage and Cam.f82e81eb7c51cfe69aea7b70c532df35.jpgc83f0018f6b86d221c105ca7699a4ffa.jpg9c8095100e074c05fd81ea9d00da5b08.jpgab9ed4f405db3a8c42dc84a34d21859c.jpg

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
