What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

I notice the handling more with these than with the sway bars.

Yes ive run just sway bars, just braces, both brace and bars and just front sway bar. (Whiteline, superpro & unnamed adjustable front bar). So this isnt just a 'ive thrown the bars on and thats the answer it should be' kinda answer.

Just got the chance to finally take the 35 out following the 2nd 2nd brace install. Very impressed with the way the rear of the car is now tight in and out of cornering. Noticed more traction and control delivery and almost nil body roll. Very happy

You should cut out the electric lock, button switch , and rear wiper motor and keep for spares.

I have a spare tailgate, I think you have to cut the composite to get to them.

I currently have up for sale the spare rear glass, latch motor, door button, hatch seal rubber & latch motor control box. Far ahead of you.

And no you dont need to cut anything to get them out. Just undo the bolts and get them on the right angles and they will come out. I also plan on deleting the rear wiper just need to find a delete plug im happy with.

Did this a few months ago but only just getting around to posting. Is it just me that gets lazy during winter?

Started with a cracked radiator which I tried and failed to fix with J-B Weld to try and keep me on the road.

Radiator was way past it's used by date so I got a thicker factory replacement.

While the coolant was drained I thought I'd have a crack at my own take on the coolant bypass mod.

A few joins but no leaks so far after a few months. Summer will be the big test.

WTF is that how thin these Radiators are? The factory replacement, is that from Scotty?

Used my sucker to go pick up the latest toy purchase other day.

I love my Stag.  Fast and versatile!

Awesome to see another 1600 saved! Maybe we should start up a Stagea and 1600 owners forum. I think there's a few of us out there.

Love it, what sort of condition is it in? Good ones are pretty much impossible to find these days

Really good condition.  Very little rust.  I thought it must have been resto'ed at some point in it's life but the guy I bought it from has owned it for over 30 years and it hasn't been.

It's got an L20 running straight LPG and a T03.  5 speed stumpy, alloy flywheel and custom built clutch, R180 LSD, disc rear, adjustable rear trailing arms, front volvo 2 spot and 298mm discs, bilsteins all round, front and rear sway bars.  Lots or good stuff.  Needs some panel damaged fixed, the few rust spots taken care of, a ton of rewiring done and a good clean.  Once that's done I'll get the gas bottle recertified or replaced, remove the turbo and get it running on straight gas then get it through rego.  After that the turbo will go back on.  It's currently 180ish rwhp with NA like response which is plenty for me.  I don't want massive HP.  I think you lose the essence of what these things are when you push big HP through them.

    • I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes
    • Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
    • Why didn't you buy the one I originally linked in QLD which was about 18k and in massively better condition with about 30k of tastefulmods holyshitmygodjesuschristman.
    • hey mate so i was in a similar position needing something better than oem for track but also wanting it to look the part, i went for APG APG Performance Brakes they are a solid price and i have had no issues with any of the components from them. the rotors and pads can be swapped out for all the usual brands just ensure you are getting the right sizes. i have just a front kit on my car. i would recommend upgrading to a bigger master cylinder as they are a bigger calliper so you can actually notice some increased braking performance
