We've got a Autech 260RS at the mo.

They run elec Hicas simialr to a R33 GTR, but different.. under the rack as opposed to on the back.

Motors out for forgies, turbos etc at the mo :rofl:

Excellent, what size wheels and tyres does it have?

I'd be keen to see a Stagea section, and I'd be just as keen to see a Stagea in the flesh - I wouldn't mind buying one in the future if they're nice and practical... I'm sure the section will become more relevant as the Stag becomes more popular (and I hope this is more an issue of "when" rather than "if").

They'd make a nice sleeper.

Has anyone seen how good they look with R-34 GTR mags on them? Brisbane Street Machines have a dark blue one for sale, and the wheels really set it off well!: :rofl:

Pics please, SydneyKid

Its got the factory Autech wheels on it. +35s on the front and +20s on the rear.

I'll get the exact rim/tyre size tomorrow.. you can't go very big on them unfortunatley as the guards won't allow it. ;(

Factory kit, wheels etc with a inch or so taken out of ride hight.. looks cool! ;)

Will post some pics when I get time.

Few liitle mods we've done to it like R32 spring in the transfer case.. = RWD on demand. r33 has a percantage of drive tot he fronts at all time which means cooked cases with the the fuse out.. R32 spring allows it to be 100% RWD :rofl:

Pics please, SydneyKid Nick T.

No problems, Nick. It is supposed to be on the transporter tomorrow. A few days in the panel shop to touch up the scratches and paint the white door blue. Thank's to the totally illogical DOTARS beaurocrats. :rofl:

did you change the door with the different intrusion bar???

i think stagea should have its own permanent thread... i had put that in suggestion section ...before i found this thread...which is my point really

we need our own ...please

did you change the door with the different intrusion bar???

Yep, found a white one the same as the other 3, except the car is blue. In trying to find an upside for spending $1K for no good reason, the only one I can find is gives me an excuse to fix up a few of the little scatches and bumps a 7 year old car picks up. While the blue paint is in the gun, so to speak. :uh-huh:

Thanks to DOTARS I have had to replace a rear door with stronger intrusion bars that complies to the later (tougher) standard, with a door that complies to earlier (less tough) standards. I don't know about you, but that makes absolutely no sense to me. :confused:

Enough bad news, the good news is it is on the truck and will be here early next week. :D

No one has the crush test ADR 29 for the later model yet...which means another stagea ..later model will have to be destroyed...

their farkin mad :headspin:

SK, my friend has just brought in a red '97 Stagea. It has stock R33 GTR rims on it, I'll try and get a pic of it :)

I'll post some pics of my 97 blue stagea

stock wheels

K&N panel

stock exhaust

stock suspension - bilsteins & springs soon (anybody got info on springs)

2 sunroofs

satellite nav (useful if I ship the car back to japan and drive it around there :wassup:

No compliancing issues, from MJR Motorsport in Brisbane.

Is sydneykid doing his own ??

Was going to get the NEO version, but was worried about DOTARS compliance as most people were doing the pre NEO versions. I was glad I didn't go for the NEO as it would probably still be in the shop.

Very pleased, comfortable sleeper. A bit slow off the mark but 100-140kph acceleration is very good indeed. Just needs

firmer suspension

a bit lower

decent 17" R34 wheels would be really nice (any offers ?)

decent exhaust (3")

decent intercooler and a little bit more boost (10lb)

would like 160KW at the wheels, but will need more mods

cheers

How wide are the Autech wheels, I have a couple of sets of 17 X 8's as they are the same as we use on the race cars with 245/45/17's on them. They should fit, OK? :confused:

No, definitely not doing my own compliance. The paperwork (and dealing the beauroKraps) would drive me crazy. :headspin:

Have you had yours on the dyno yet Michael? I am wondering how much they loose through the auto and 4wd.

My target is 200 awkw :burnout: , I have ready to go on;

GCG ball bearing hi flow turbo

Split dump

Hi flow cat

3" exhaust

Autospeed (Norgren valves X 2) boost controller

Pipercross panel filter

CAI

Exhaust camshaft pulley

Plus .............

Konis (as soon as I work out if they are R33 or R34 or neither) :boinkcar:

Front and rear stabilser bars (I think the R33 GTR ones fit).

I will design up a HICAS eliminator and get our race team fabricator to machine one up out of billet aluminium (same as we have on the R32's).

SAFC from Negun is on its way.

Hope the brakes are up to it, if not I will dig up a set of R33 GTR callipers (front and rear) and a set of DBA slotted rotors. Plenty of good pads lying around from the race cars, that should stop it. :aroused:

I am getting carried away, aren't I? :jump:

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
