What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Nice job.

Look at all that room in those arches for Nismo offsets.

For GTR offsets

For GTR offsets

You'll need spacers for the fronts (20x9.5 +45)

Yeah i read that somewhere. Do you know what size spacers.

[Daleo]

I think Damian is running a 15 or 20mm spacer, which works out about right against offsets that we know work.

Wow. Thats bigger than i was thinking was needed.

[BIGZED]

Had a 15mm spacer on mine when I was running them, did want to step it up to a 20mm to make them sit as aggressively as the rears did, but decided against it.

[conan7772]

Scotty says he has a tiny bit of rubbing on full lock.

Plus had to roll the rear guards.

19 x 10 + 30 all round

You might need the Axis ride height for 20's

As the others have said, 15 or 20mm.

I run 10mm on my Nismos which are 19x9.5 +40 and have no rubbing.

I don't think I could get away with 5mm spacers, nor would I try for that matter as there is not much room in there.

So I finally get around to doing a few things today.

Replacing a burnt out globe in the cluster, its only the shifter position but it pisses me off at night.

Replacing the weeping radiator. Just ordered one from Natrad $260 inc!!! Bursons wanted $465 (for the same thing). Pickup at 1pm and then the fun begins.

fan clutch has a little bit free spin, but there is no overheat problem atm. i know most people would say don't change it if no overheat problem, but i want to keep engine more cool!

so ordered new fan clutch (Shimahide branded from JP). now i could feel very noticeable strong wind under bonnet

for someone who has overheat problem, try to change the fan clutch. even though you test the stock worn viscous fan in cold and it is tight enough with just little bit free spin angle. it may have huge difference if you change new fan clutch.

made in JP

good quality

no need to take out the fan shroud, just lose 4 bolts on fan pulley and make some angles to take viscous fan out.

thinner than stock one

new pads arrived, ready for daily fun.

woohoo , got it all done.

The cluster globe was not burnt out , someone had been in that cluster before , the track on the PCB was worn away / cracked in one spot, soldered that and tested on bench all working.

Biggest issue was re-calibrating the needles as I had to strip the PCB out.

Radiator was a bit of a pain, but all done, the old top tank started to come apart in my hands, I'm genuinely surprised it had not gone bang.

One more burp tomorrow morning and a bay wash, hope nothing else breaks for a few months, I need to get started on the mods.

[yuma]

Just started the air suspension install

Hows the air ride install going?

[Cowboy1600]

Got the Stag back on the road today. Hit a skippy on Easter Monday. It's sat in a forlorn state since. Picked up a complete roller and today it donated its face. Need to massage out the rad support behind the left hand headlight, but it's passable for now.

[karter]

May was a big month for the ARX – finally had the head unit replaced with a single din Pioneer and Kanatechs fascia. For the benefit of Canberra Stagea owners, BDL did the install. Then a gearbox flush and off to Scotty’s Customs for a dump pipe, front pipe, cooling mod, new plugs, rocker cover gasket replacement and attessa, transfer case and diffs fluid change. Well worth the trip.

Got the following completed today ready for wheels tomorrow

- changed oil and filter

- replaced front inner passenger guard (grill due to transmission cooler in fro t of it to let heat excape)

- cleaned engine bay

- put the lower stone guards back under the front of the car
