Cheers for that, I love how you guys are so moderate on here :nyaanyaa:

I prefer the front end on the S1, funnily enough the S2's are starting to grow on me.

Plus I got this one purdy cheap, with only 67k on the clock :laugh:

I wanted a dayz edition, I like the kit that it comes with ... this one also has 65,000km whereas all the others I was looking at had double that, and were asking for more. So I'm getting sick of lis

I’ve been chillin’ out this Easter long weekend, you know bumming around at home and doing some much needed relaxation. Anyway today I decided that I’ll give the Stagea a wash seeing that I haven’t re

i like the S1 front ends much more than the S2's also.

couldnt ignore the newer/more powerful motor though.....

i think this will look awesome drifted out. and yep, built not bought is always more rewarding if you have the time/space to do it - something which i no longer i have either of...... :angry:

Yeah the S2 is a better car out of the box, but the way I see it (as do you) is that it's much more fun building a car then buying it as is. I'm just happy that I found a great nick, low km S1 DAYZ eddition ... all the overs I looked at had double the km's. I even drove a few S2's and they were quite nice indeed, could feel the power difference but still, I'm happy with my choice :D

The power difference is two parts of bugger all once you strap some performance mods on until you reach a point where hydraulic lifters are the weak link.

The real advantage of the series 2 (assuming a 260RS is out of the price equation) is the standard manual transmission on RS4S (same running gear as 260RS, gearbox etc), aftermarket ECU choice is so much easier ie. Nistune, PowerFC etc etc but all the other fun aftermarket modifications are available with a whole lot less stuffing around.

That's true, I was happy to comprimise these sort of things for the Stagea I really wanted though. Like I said, I will be changing quite a lot of things, oh and I'm sure the stock clutch in an RS4S wouldn't like the abuse I'd give it on the track :blush:

some ninja took this photo ... dunno when though =/

Holy shit yes! Who makes those?

As much as I love your car, it has sold me on a max of 9s/9.5s, I just don't have the testicular fortitude to do that to my guards! (re duckbills)

Floody, no need for Duckbills. Personally I preffer pulled than folded lips. I had my pulled by Finefitment and I run a 9.5 +25's. I'm sure I could run 10 +15's on the rear and the guard holds close to the same profile as the standard gaurds.

I'd rock them, but shit they aren't cheap!

I was wondering what kind of wide body/flares there were for these things. I'll end up fixing the "duckbills" soon enough, I'll be pumping the guard out evenly so they look purdy.

Good find Mike :D

Those are pretty sick too!

We'll see what happens aye. I've got some plans for the body, still kinda tossing up whether to get another kit or not, but I have other priorities at the moment ... like a stick shift! :D

final motion make the guards http://www.final-motion.jp/

Slightly offtopic, are those final motion guards (in FRP) 63k yen each, and 129k for a pair? Seems to be what their website is saying, think google translate is missing a little bit of the translation though.

Adam, you should bring the car to one of our days - the SAU-NSW Texikhana!

ooohhh, I've been meaning to get out there in the 5!

Would be a fun day, hopefully I have the manual in before then.

Spewing I missed the latest Stagea meet too :( how often do you guys hang? It would be nice to meet some Stagea owners.

You totally should! I don't want to be the only LOLvo out there competing (again)... :( And there might be a few other MX5s there too.

We don't have Stagea meets often enough, unfortunately, but them's the breaks.

Cool, well hopefully I remember and I'll be down.

I could think of the MX-5's that will be down there too haha, would be good to catch up with them.

Automatic is starting to shit me, really want my mate to finish paying me for the MX-5, take it off my hands and let me get on with a manual conversion.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
