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:

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
