Hi all

Some of you I've meet and PM'd already. So I thought I should post up a thread and hi to everyone and a happy Stagea owner :D.

I got my Stag last October from Northshore Prestige from Ben. It's a 2004 PNM35 Autech Axis S. I couldn't believe how nice these cars look in person, sex on wheels.

So I'm ganna cut straight to the important bit.

Plans

R34 GTT Brakes & rotors

Swaybars and bracing

Transgo shift kit

V35 midpipe

Kinetix Plenum or Plenum Spacer

Suspension will either be Nismo s-tune springs with bilstein shocks or BC's

Superpro bushes

I'll be leaving the interior but ripping out the bose 6 cd stacker - because it's shit.

Cheers for the advice from the members.

I've already had someone damage my car, lucky it was minor. I had the car parked out the front of my place on and some jerk thought it great to snap off my rear wiper arm, lucky it's only $55 from Nissan.

Very nice ride you've got there. I was under the impression that the axis S(port?) came with some kind of sports suspension from autech? Can you confirm if this is the case? As for your vandal, that totally sucks, there are some people that I would never tire of kicking.............

I have had a look at it with another member and we decided it looks like stock suspension ie Nissan OEM, but can really only see the springs so I haven't had an indepth look at it, it has normal ride height. I might get some help from someone that can help me translate the optional catalogue.

Yesterday I picked up a CPV35 midpipe :D, hopefully whack it on during the weekend. The end of the flange I think it is has surface rust, should I just scrape it off? Also do I need flange gaskets or can I just use a exhaust gasket goo?

Wire brush it up - the exhaust as little crush gaskets in it, little round thing at the tail end of the car. Its metal gaskets at the end of the Y pipe. put a bit of sealant on if you want, but I wouldn't bother too much. Just so you know, you might have to modify the loop that holds the tailshaft up in case of breakage. The midpipe gets very close, and can result in banging over bumps. Best way - if its close take it off.

Regarding the springs - I do think they have a different coloured "dot" on them to my stock springs, but visually, I can't tell any difference. maybe they are a tad harder?

Welcome! Very nice ride mate and looks like you've got some decent plans for it.

In relation to your vandal,

Thanks, hopefully when payday comes around I'll be able to buy more stuff for it :D.

That is a sweet lookin ride... the interior is really really nice

Cheers, pictures don't do them justice, they have to be seen in person.

Throw some 245/45/18's on those rims.

You'll thank me when they go on.

I will take your advice and when I do the brakes is when the rims and rubber will be wrapped on. I'm ganna guess ching chong spec isn't ganna cut it right?

+1

:stupid:

LOL people are more excited about rubber than anything else :P.

Cheers for the comments all.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
