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'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

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
