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

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
