Hi All,

I thought I would introduce myself, the names Nick and I've recently purchased a White Stagea Series 2 RS4S. Will post pics soon!

I purchased this car late last year off Indy as IS Motor Racing, I've known Indy for a long time as he helped me build and tune my old Evo 8MR.

When I picked up the Stagea it was close to stock bar a few small mods r34 GTT brakes and wheels, Cusco coilovers, HKS catback and rear camber arms (unknown brand). I couldn't just leave it like this so I started modding straight away.

So far I have changed the front and rear sways + links to whiteline items and Indicators to Nismo smoked type.

I have also purchased a few other bits n' bobs I'm currently fitting or modifying:

Factory electric Leather seats which I'm in the process of wiring in - no loom on the RS4S for this unfortunately (Fairly easy job to fix anyway) Will take photos of the process and post DIY.
HDI FMIC kit - need to have an exhaust shop make up another pipe so I don't have to cut under the battery tray. - Any recommendations where to get this done in Sydney?

3" dump pipe

3" cat - spare off my old evo, need to get an exhaust shop cut and re-weld the flanges

DAYZ front bumper - I have cut out the numberplate mount and the vertical running supports to give it a wide mouth look and I am now in the process of cleaning up the holes left by these by filling with fibreglass, I have been taking photos of the process and will provide DIY once finished.

Also since buying the Stagea I have cleaned up the yellowing headlights, and given it a good detail - which was subsequently ruined the next day when it rained "typical".

After all this is done the next job is removing that pesky HICAS using a Driftworks HICAS removal kit and get some wheels without the weak offset and width of the GTT wheels. For a wagon especially after coming from a Evo I'm quite surprised how well it handles.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
