where did you source the kit from was it local (ie perth)

who installed it (you or a tuning house)

I will get some tomorrow and post them on my site.

We put it back to standard for compliance then bolted it back in a couple of hours and we wernt rushing.

where did you source the kit from was it local (ie perth)

It came with the car but is standard Blitz Stagea kit avialable through most shops, email [email protected] for a price as that is who I get my bits for my car from if they suit Stagea only, I have some body bits coming.

who installed it (you or a tuning house)

We put it back our self, bit of fairing was already cut out, I will get photos off Jeff at C-Red's car and a standard one tomorrow to show difference.

can you get more

Most Japanese Manufactures make kits to suit the WAGON,

how much

Well price varys and yes you do pay for what you get, I will get some prices through some contacts to set a group buy, but I am 100% sure R33 will fit.

Dont worry ask away, because I deal with the complyier and I think they are the best car at the moment so I know a bit about them.

We will pass our RAWS on a Toyota tomorrow but I still drive a Stagea and it will only be sold for an Autech Version.

:)

Anytime and dont forget to remind me.

To put a end to it all the r33gtst autobarn88 kits fit stageas.

I have 1 on my car its just like fiting it to a r33.

U need to make longer lower brackets and the hole is in a slight dif spot.

I would be careful with ur mods on s1 stageas thow.

I have found out that the ecu dose not really like to have changes. I talked to Cred in perth au and was told a good mod for s1 is to

add a piggy back ecu to the stock ecu like haltech platinum sport 2000.

The stock ecu in s1 controls every thing including the auto fit incorect will cause lots of probs. Was told the stock ecu is the shitty ecu on eney rb

The gain is eney where from 30 to 40 hp on stock motor and 50 to 100ks per tank

I think in the 7 years since the last post we have sorted out the intercooler options :thumbsup: . And yes S1 ecus are hard to chip - Greddy E-manage or Haltech are options or stick in a manual box and a Link!!

I just had a just jap kit put in my car, can't say exactly which one as I got it used of another forum member but yeah it bolted straight in only had to have a small chunk of the reo bar cut out to make it fit, pretty sure it's one of the cooling pro stealth kits which go for about 300-400 bucks, they aren't as pretty as blitz etc kits but it does the job and the engine bay looks very close to stock

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
