will be taking some tomorrow, I borrowed Marcs digital tonight

When do you get your new rocket???  What are you getting?  Or is that a stupid question...

Cheers

Gary

soon gary ... soon...... :)

i might even pop by your place in it to return you the tape :headspin:

the 34 GTR front does bolt straight on, and it looks very very very nice there are a few getting around in Japan.  It was the original idea but I like the idea of people not knowing what it is...The ultimate sleeper

Heheheh. . too late dude.. anyone that has followed/have knowledge on nissan imports would know the details of your car.. :)

Tho the uprated RB26DETT version (?) now.. that is the ultimate sleeper! heheheh :)

Still that is one sweet looking car you got, keen to come out on one of the cruises? Wouldnt mind having a look. ;)

Saw it today.. strange looking creature.. but driving along without a close look you would just think it was probably a volvo. Except when you see the nice engine lurking under the hood :D

I love the little unicorn "S" badge on it ;)

Hi Gary, good to see another Stagea on the go. Mine arrived 5 weeks ago and is still getting complied. Typical Nissan problem with rolling updates, where they use some new model parts at the end of the run of old models. In my Stagea's case that was a rear left hand door, it has the later model intrusion bars and all the other 3 doors have the early model intrusion bars. So it is stuck in no man's land with the beaurocrats at DOTARS. Hopefully it will be sorted out next week. We have a race meeting to go to next weekend and I need the Stagea tow car.

I have some plans for our Stagea as I have some good bits coming off the RB20DET in the R32 GTST, as it is getting a new RB31DET; :cheers:

GCG ball bearing hi flow RB25DET turbo

Performance Metalcraft split dump, engine pipe and hi flow cat

3" exhaust

FMIC and alloy pipework

Jamex panel filter and CAI

Autospeed (2 valve style) boost controller

Since it's an auto, I will have to make do with an SAFC for fuel tuning and no doubt it will need a set of Koni adj shocks, some adj to the caster, decent brake pads and a set of Hollow Type R's in 17 X 8. Not to mention a HR towbar and a big transmission cooler.

I am looking forward to seeing what others have in mind for their Stagea's. ;)

Sydneykid,

They are a great vehicle to own. Seems like you and I are doing the same sort of mods....

turbo ,FMIC, exhaust, boost, suspension. I am converting mine to manual in the next week or two, already have the gearbox just have to sort out the rest of the parts I will need, seems everything needs to be 34 GTR ( my wallet hurts ) or RS260 ( now wallet really hurts ). The only other mod I will eventually doing is the RB26 swap and all the computer bits and pieces as well as the brake upgrade and a little body styling. At the end of it all should look nice and go like the clappers, just what every family wagon should do...

Would love to see pickies of your car when you get it.

Cheers

Gary

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • 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?
