Well, apparently R33 stuff fits straight in. IT DOESN'T. The springs in the rear are wider on the R33, so won't fit back over the stock struts and under the strut cap. I'm unsure whether you can change to the R33 struts as well, which of course would fix this problem, but the rear springs from an R33 are not the same as those in the C34 Stagea. Fronts are not a problem though :thumbsup:

 

Gary bought Kings Springs, straight from Kings I believe.

Sounds like R34 springs, they are smaller diameter coils than R33. I am not going to change the springs on ours, unless I find them too soft. I will simply lower it with the circlip height on the Konis. The question now is R33 or R34 shocks? :confused:

Stagea insured for $20K with NRMA was $2.4K, for me.  I have 4 cars insured with them, all on 65% NCB, house and contents policies, 4 geenslip policies etc.  Guess who is not going to get my Stagea insurance? :wassup:  

Thanks for the tips guys, I emailed off a quote request to Shannons yesterday.  Just Cars will get a call today.    :thumbsup:

Have you suggested to them that you will be taking all your insurance to whoever insures the Stagea for the most reasonable cost?? :D

2.4k @ $20k is horrid..i was quoted $2400 @ 50k for 260rs at famous 60% no one under 30driver .sat track alarm ...i thought this was two much ...but the good old NRMA can make anything look a bargain

My Stagea is currently on a ship from Japan.

I can't wait as I've been in little N/A silvia for way too long.

I already have 18" white Nismio rims to put on it + BOV and Striaght pipe exhaust. Does anyone knoe if R-34 Nismo suspension will fit?

Have been told many conflicting stories about this.

Mine is getting a AUtech Kit from AJM motorsport and is getting resprayed black. Also is leather with twin sunroofs.

And big sound system soon to follow. :wassup:

for the suspension, front is exactly the same as 33 gtst but the rears are a different story.  I sourced my new suspension of an Autech RS 260.... get it back tomorrow will let you know how it handles..

Cheers

Hi Gary, what is the rear like, R32 GTR I heard was pretty close? Did you keep your standard shocks?

GTR is all different the hub is different therefore the bottom of the shock is different. You can change hub carriers and then it should fit. The easiest way is to modify the top hat of the shock.. I had Kings springs make the rear springs but the front are just lowered, heavy duty 33 gtst off the shelf items. Standard shocks are gone, replaced with Autech

Cheers

P.S Don't try the manual conversion yourself.......What a nightmare!!!

Hey all,

I have recently purchased a RS4 due to baby one the way. Sold my heavily modded 32 gts4 but am very happy with the new toy. Have got Tein S springs to drop her a little, gtr fmic, exhaust, boost guage timer etc etc. Might have a go at the group buy for the stainless mainfold too. Tein springs are ex Japan only (correct type for 4wd staj's), if any one is interested I can organise some more, $350 inc gst + ship. Will post photos when car is done. Nailed a VY SS commode off the line up to 100kph, mate did he have the shits. hahahahah.

Cheers,

Ken

Wife got a 33 turbo 4 door. (no point is going backwards is there)

Had my stagea since Feb

Bought it fully complied, I was wondering about the NEO version, but went

for the 1997 RS4. Looks great, dual sunroofs/blue.

Just cars gave me a $990 per annum deal, but I have got

a good record (rating, no accident claims for years and years etc, and over 40)

My insurance is through Shannons. I pay $550 per year full comp. Insured for $22k. I think i got a good deal due to my last car r32 gtst4 and my gtr race car was insured with them. Got my wifes 33 turbo 4 door insured for $530 per year. Give them a call.

Hey Gary,

You wouldn't happen to know anyone else who has any autech suspension and what price i'd be looking at?

How much did king springs charge you for that setup. How much did it lower the car?

I wish the manual conversion was easier! That will be the only thing i'll miss about my lil' silvia...

Can't wait til mine is done!!! Arrives on the 30th but straight to compliance GRRRR. And then the transformation begins from family wagon to V8 EATER.

Shoot that must be a "Darwin" price, "Sydney" price is double that. I will give them a call back and ask whether that's the case.

Yep, it was a "Darwin" price, less accidents and lots less chance of getting it stolen, so cheaper insurance. So far Shannons wins at $1.2K with $400 excess, Just Car second at $1.3K with $1.2K excess, NRMA last at $2.4K. :P

"Darwin price" - hahahahahha.

Got to be kidding. Open speed limit, no local approved panel beating wshops for imports. Guys, cars cost a heap to insure up here. The major problem is getting a company to insure the imports in the first place. I have got a good deal through previous business done with Shannons, thats it.

Masa kit Primo? Looks like a winner.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
