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

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
