When I buy my WC34 Series 1 what parts should I replace?

For longevity I was thinking of a performance cambelt kit unless this is a false economy and I know they have or can have coil issues.

Stock cambelts are good for up to 130,000 so if you replace them every 100,000 you will be fine.

Read the buyer's guide above and wait till you get the car to see if anything needs doing.

I'll bare that in mind, the Stagea's in the UK are rare than in Australia so we'll see what comes onto the market, also I prefer the look of the series one.

What is different about the engines, I thought they both used RB25DET engines?

I too like the look of the series 1 but the series 2 has the advantage of an easily modified ecu which is a major headahe with S1.

S1 has RB25DET from R33

S2 has RB25DET Neo engine from R34 - better head and turbo - more power.

Yup I had to manually wire in a piggyback and cut the standard loom. Then start from scratch with a fuel and ignition map. I really wish I had a s2 in the first place.

The s1 in standard power form is very underwhelming, and without a shift kit, the gear changes are quite slushy.

The s2 auto still needs a shift kit, but at least the power side is easier. I built my car over many years, but if I were to start again and do it all in one go, an s2 would be the better option.

Still can't find any series one Stagea's. Found some pictures online and used the 'DVLA Vehicle Check' feature and most are SORN which is annoying. They're probably sat unprotected rotting away on someones drive.

Hope I can find mine before they all vanish.

Whereabouts are you bud?

Dvla vehicle check won't show much tbh - most aren't registered as stageas. Seen them registered as skylines before. My v5 just says Nissan!

Normal service stuff really, OEM cambelt is good enough.

Brilliant, sounds good and also I'm in a town called Boston in Lincolnshire UK. Quite far away from Australia :)

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again
