hey guys, as my other thread has stated, sooner or later i will need to get my hands on a rear subframe and hicas unit for the stagea.

its the narrow cradle from the RS4S, so if anyone knows if a GTR cradle fits, that would also help.

you can PM me with any advice or help

thank you

I have one, complete with all arms and hicas you could have for $100 Its a bit rusty though.

I replaced it with an S14 one as I wanted the Hicas gone, and I wanted my rear strut bottoms to be converted to eyelet style rather than fork (I had a set of teins from my old RS4V that I wanted to fit)

Sorry to hijack your thread but did you manage to convert the rear coil to eyelet from the fork type? Also owning a rs four s I'm limited to the aftermarket coilovers available for purchase..

These are the only rear fork type coilover tein produce to suit C34 series 1+2 stagea... May or may not save you a few dollars whilst they are EDFC compatible which is a bonus.

there are 2 types that Tein produce for the C34 stagea the Basic flex wagon and the Super flex. Basic flex do a super hicas model so they have the rear fork type but the super flex do not. Super flex are not super hicas compatable so they are not rear fork type. Correct me if Im wrong but from what fulcrum have told me and from what I can find on the specs online this seem to be correct.

      So.....wire it up appropriately. You can't use the resister pack with those injectors anyway.

      ahh okay cheers, i was thinking of just going for the m073, think m079 would be way too overkill considering they are same size.

      My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 10.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
