was just wondering if anybody could let me know what front sway bar a (RWD) stagea uses. i know the AWD ones use a GTR bar but im just wondering if i would only require a GTS-T sway bar. i really need to upgrade the sway bars as my car didnt even come with a rear bar at all and i want to do both at the same time. cheers for any help.

Has anyone replaced JUST their springs?

I've got healthy Nismo shocks, but jeezus, I can get 4-5 fingers between tyre and guard all round.

Can I use R33 GTS-T springs? GT-R springs? Want to get it down minimum 50mm or so. Probably 60+.

Nope, but I've got standard s1 RS-Four springs for sale if you want them...

Are there mounting holes for the rear ones or are you saying your model never had any?

I think (these are old whiteline refS) Rear: BNR11XZ (22mm adjustable) and Front: BNF27 22mm or 24mm - whatever is an upgrade for you - but try to get hold of SK - he is the expert and makes them under the Selby brand I believe at Superior Suspension in Sydney.

yeah i have mounting holes but it seems to be a hit and miss with the rear wheel drives if they have a rear bar from factory or not. i have tried sk but he gets busy sometimes. might try and ring his work shop then, cheers.

ps. im pretty sure that front bar ref # is for an AWD/GTR front sway bar which i assume is completly different to my front end as the front struts a very different also

That's true, the front suspension on RWD's is completely different, so I wouldn't be surprised to find that the stabiliser bars are different and/or attach to the body or suspension in a different way.

Hey guys..

How hard is it to install Tein Super Wagons on a S2 Stagea?? Can it be done with mates or should I take it to a suspension place to do it.

Reason is that I'm might be looking in getting either Tein Super Wagon or Tein GT Wagon coilovers.

I've got three places where i can do it

1. mates backyard (have jacks and tools - very backyarder)

2. mates workshop (many tools and hoist)

or

3. Take to a suspension place and get them to install it

What should I do...let alone what set of coilovers to buy???

Number 2!! i went with the Tein Super Wagons, did mine in 45mins by myself! didn't even have to take off the wheels!

Hey guys, I have done a search but I can't find any details.

I am after setup details for a wheel alignment for my brothers stagea. He has a S2 RS4. It is sitting pretty low (310mm Centre of the wheel to the guard) and has some massive camber (will be getting fixed soon).

The car goes in tomorrow and I would like to know what the best setup would be.

Cheers.

Sydney Kid Please Check Your Pm's AS i still have not recived my Refund for the caster and camber Bush's and it has been a month, after being told they where on site and would be in my hands in 1-3 workin days and waitin 2 weeks because of "Stock being sold" after i already paid for it. i have talked with Matt Cook and org'd a refund for $302 mid Aug it still it has come to nothing.

Due to your trader rating i thought that this would be a clean sale but has turned out to be SUS.

i dont know how you guys run things but by anyones standard this is bull shit and expect this to be sorted ASAP.

You have my contact details, use them as i dont have the use of the internet to often as discussed in my previous pm's

I think its in the Whiteline gruop buy thread but it goes like this:

Front:

Caster Left: as much as possible (5 deg or more

Caster Right: whatever you got on the right less 1/4 degree (to allow for road camber)

Camber L&R 1 deg negative

Toe in L&R zero

Rear:

Camber L&R neg 0.5 deg

Toe in L&R minus 2mm

Hey guys, alignment has been done. The camer is rediculouse and will be fixed as soon as my brother has the cash.

Can you let me know if there is anything wrong with these settings.

Cheers.

All OK except the camber F&R

You can't get enough adjustment so you have to get the adjustable bushes - some one was selling a kit on this forum (cant remember if it was front or rear).

These figures looks very familiar. Almost like mine when i got the car. The rear camber.

For the Front:

Get a camber kit (outer). Thats should gives you around 1 deg adjustments.

For the rear :

1. Get an adjustable arm. i think just jap sells them. That should take care of the problem. If you use the Camber bush kit you will never get enough adjustment just by using 1 kit. If you use 2 kits, i rahter use the adjustable arm to save costs.

Hope this will help you.

ok, so i asked a few weeks ago if anybody knew what sort of front sway bar the RWD spec stagea used. not getting much confirmation i brought a GTST one and decided today to have a fiddle. well as it turns out i already had a 25.5mm sway bar on the front not sure if this is standard or not and it was solid also so i decided that i would leave it on but that is not before i took it of to compare the two. as u can see from the picture they do vary slightly but i think it would bolt on if u turned the end links around so that they faced outward instead of inwards.

i also got busy today and fitted the heavy duty sway bar in the rear which is great as i didnt have one fitted at all. my Kei Office coil overs arrived yesterday and i put the front ones in today and will do the rears when i get a chance but already im looking for bigger corners to go around fast so i cant wait to put them in also. found out today that the rear tyres are well scrubbed on the inside so im in the market for some rear camber arms and im going to do the front castor arms also and i think that will just about do it.

post-44842-1219993386_thumb.jpg

i just took delivery of some tein dress up master lowered springs, i will be getting them put in on tuesday still with my factory shocks which are in immaculate

condition, i will let you guys know after what it's like.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
