Hey Sydneykid,

Just looking at your front bar, looks very different to mine. What year and spec is your Staj??

Ken

Hi Ken, the build date was February 1997 and it's a base model, no woodgrain, no sunroof/s, no sat nav or TV. I picked this one because of the front bumper and headlight design and the blue colour.

It needs shocks real bad and it was owned by a smoker (not usual for Japan) so it reaks. But nothing that 2 days with the steam cleaner won't fix. A couple of days geting the scratches polished and/or touched up and the LHS rear (white door) painted, then it will be ready for rego. Add 1 tow bar and away we go. :cool:

Hahaha, the foot brake still freaks me out when I use it !!

This weekend I'll be able to confirm if R34 GTT mags fit and clear everthing, I'll grab some pics as well just so you can see how/if the fill the gaurds etc..

SK - (a bit off topic), how did your fabricator go with making up a tow bar ? I'd be keen to buy one if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

well +16 offset stick out too far ...unless i buy some overfenders.(flares).ie:

The Stagea is still in the panel shop and I haven't had a chance to get the tow bar measured up. We had a hectic few weeks of racing, one car dropped a diff, it was on the way out, no loss. Another copped a severe over rev (14,000 rpm +) due to a missed shift and another blew a head gasket (no, I didn't assemble that engine). Thankfully the other 2 ran like clockwork all weekend. :wassup:

I you want, I will ask how much to make 2 both at the same time. I can then send it down or you can pop up and get it fitted. Anyone else want a 2.2 tonne capable tow bar? Maybe a group buy chance here. :(

Jeff at C-RED knows what fits and what dosent, I am looking at putting 19 inch Budnik's on http://www.budnik.com/techInfo.asp you can find the way to work out the exact wheel size you can use for any brand on any car.

Wheels are from http://www.ziggyshotrods.com in NSW, 19 inch BILLET'S.

Sounds good. 2.2 tonne is a damn big one !! I was looking at something around the 1.5 max, but I suppose it won't matter ;) I'd be interested in what sort of $$$ he can do one for fitted and also unfitted. Funds are slowly running out after buying the car ;)

Thanks

There seems to be 2 specs of tow bars these days, one around 1.2 tonnes for box trailers, bike trailers, tinnies and the like. Then there is the big one around 2.2 tonnes for car trailers, caravans and big boats. More info next week inc prices when I get a chance to get ours registered.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
