Hello and thank you for the wealth of info I have already read from your forum. 

My name is Craig I was looking for a cheap performance car and came across the Stagea. Over here in the UK it's a very rare sight. I have never seen another one! 

So it's a 1996 RS Four with a factory Dayz kit and 2 sunroofs too! Really low miles at 47,000 and a few spare parts in the boot too.

The interior is immaculate engine is completely stock too but the body has really faded paint and light surface rust under the mirrors so I will be respraying the whole car and treating any rust before hand.

Well that's my hello no doubt I will start a little build thread soon too ?️

Wow that's a low mileage - how about some pics?

The rust under the mirrors is a standard feature I'm afraid. When you pull off the door linings you need to take out the moisture retaining material in that corner of the door.

There is a small number in the UK - one had been converted to a GTR front. You may be able to contact them through the GTR UK site or if you trawl through the Wagoneers section below you may find them.

Just had a look - there is actually a website

http://www.stagea.co.uk/3.html

and a facebook page

Thanks guys! 

Yes iv done a little research and it wouldn't be hard to get the parts for the R34 front end. Just masa wings and the rest can be genuine skyline parts from what I have read. 

To be honest I quite like the look as it is after all its a Stagea not a Skyline.

Once it's painted too I think it will look great. 

Yes I will post a few pics tonight after work. 

 

Thanks for the links Kiwi ?

So as promised a few pics... 

I managed to get it up on a lift yesterday to see how bad any rust is and to my surprise it's not too bad. 

Suspension components are ok. No play anywhere but it all needs a good blast and paint and there is light surface rust pretty much everywhere. Nothing a wire wheel and underseal can't sort out. 

The front right shock has also gone so replacement pair coming soon. 

Engine wise I have had a good look and it's looking very good. Just the rocker cover gaskets weeping a little. New ones on order and I can clean up and paint the rocker covers at the same time.

I'm actually surprised a car 23 years old can still feel so new. It's very smooth and all the electrical components work perfectly! Germans please learn!

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
