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 had it for a little over four.

I don't see it going anywhere, anytime soon though.

Your phone on the first pic says 5 march 2011 and that was before you picked her up right?

Glad to hear you keeping her either way

Bringing it together

1106129002600s1.jpg

I like my cars as solid as possible. I had almost every brace known to man on the MX-5 and it made a huge difference. Being a convertible, it did have a lot of chassis flex in standard form. On the other hand, the Stagea is almost as solid as a concrete block, but there is always room for imporvement right?

There is a downfall though. Finding braces to improve it are hard to come by. So when this discontinued Cusco rear strut brace popped up on Up garage, I knew what I had to do.

Here’s hoping I can find a few more braces to whack onto the Stagea over time.

So I've been doing some light reading this morning, and I've noticed that people have said taht a S14 turbo rear subframe will fit the Stagea?

Just the subframe? no need to change shocks, or arms etc?

Also, another thing that has been bugging me (can't find much info on) are the diff's, is there a diff centre that we can drop into the Stageas housing? I guess it's either that, or getting my diff shimmed.

yeah he did, I'm curious if the RWD and AWD stagea subframes are the same though?

But Grant (Yokotas13) did say it bolted straight up, many moons ago. He isn't very eloborate though (never has been).

should be, only the manual and auto are different. might have issues with diff ratios tho, gotta find out what the front diff is so you can match it up,

you'd probably need shorter/manual half shafts too. rear arms are the same, sway bar is the same.

might be easier to get the rear end out of 33 gtst??

And your coilovers propably won't fit, being auto, you'd have eye type, you'd need to get some fork type ones if you change the entire rear end.

Well to my understanding, the Cradle itself is a direct fit, without changing anything else (i.e remaining Stagea parts will bolt up). If that's the case, I'll be more than happy to do it and get some wider wheels on in the future.

If not, meh.

sent a PM to Mike earlier today, keen to hear what he has to say.

Darrinspencer has done one from memory.

he did 260rs cradle.

i did s14, everything lines up, i used the same diff i was running but obviously needed to use the shorter half shafts. lower control, camber, toe and traction arms are all the same and interchangeable.

while the cradle is out, replace the subframe bushes with whiteline units or equivalent

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
