True.

There are plenty of very boring looking modified cars out there :P

I throw all my spare cash at my Z....

I'm sure in time I'll modify my Stagea - a front-mount would probably be the first port of call. But for now I'm enjoying it as is!

hey mcnamg i aint seen any on the streets except the ones in the cannington caryard.

we should get together one weekend and check out our stageas :P

prolly only be 3 cars but thats alright  :rave:  

where bouts in perth u live guys?

im near joondalup north of the river :D

cheers

Brad

brad !

its gary here (olds live close to you, you know s14 blah blah)

ive jsut found this stagea part of the forum, been thinking about trading the s14 in on one and doing the 26 install. Went to see kris last week and he said you had bought one and was doing the same, i was steaming. hahahah thought it would be something original

anyway i wanna see your car, sms me or something - 0412 448 308

btw - i was looking on the cannington wholesale site not long ago, saw a nice 96 one with mags, zorst etc - bitch, that must be yours now hey ??

:)

gary

lol....owning a stagea is an experience initself, for some of us it takes up a lot of our thoughts and wishes and you'll find any excuse to bring it to life. It's a bit of a guzzler but it makes up for it in performance, admiring looks and even pulls chikkkss :wassup:

i crashed mine but im well underway finding another one and if you think about getting one, just get it....

Silver, factory BBS alloys, rear spoiler, no sunroof(s), 100% stock.

 Only got it 2 weeks ago.

 I'll be trying to only drive it during the week & take out my DR30 or my Z on the weekends!

well i think i have seen yours then a few mounths ago driving past what use to be tarismo motors on main north east road

silver 98, black leather, twin sunroof, 19's, manual conversion with short shift kit, lowered and bilstiens, Profec B boost controller, 3 inch dump 3.5 inch cat back exhaust and plenty more mods to come.

mcnamg the photo in your avatar is a photo taken of my grille on a cruise before the work was done.

Cheers

I've got one as well, had it for a couple of months.   Ben, what colour is yours?

rsfour, have you got an exaust on your beast? i recon i saw you a month ago on south road, heading towards town. gave you a wave and beep! it was a red one anyway....first one other than mine that i have ever seen!!!! awesome work!

three for adelaide :D

Well I have my red beastie its great looking at doing a couple of things to it. it's a bit dicy on the fuel econ. :D

I have seen a couple in brisbane and one silver one with a sheila driving it in Toowoomba

rsfour, have you got an exaust on your beast? i recon i saw you a month ago on south road, heading towards town. gave you a wave and beep! it was a red one anyway....first one other than mine that i have ever seen!!!! awesome work!

three for adelaide :D

Yeah, that was me. You had the silver one right? There's also a green one with white mags that I was looking to buy, so that's four. I see you just had yours dynoed, does that mean that mods are on the way?

Cheers

cool -rsfour, that was you! classic. hey have you seen the one in the paper? is that the green one? 24 grand or something, 26000 k's.

yep, mods are on the way! just as soon as money is on the way :D hehe

definatley gonna get an exaust this year, but am really looking forward to new suspension. have you had much done to yours?

Doug, the one in the Trading Post is the green one, its been in there for ages. I took it for test drive about four months ago and the tacho was reving past 9000RPM!! Either an electrical fault or km's been tampered with. Also, I wasn't too crazy about the colour.

As for mods, only minimal at this stage; cat-back exhaust, pod filter, AFR. I'm on the lookout for a front/dump pipe, some people I've spoken to don't think a Skyline one will fit so I might have to get one made up. I'm in the middle of fitting an earthing kit on at the moment. I doubt it'll enhance the performance though:(

hey daniel, let me know what you find out about the dump pipe. im thinkin i might do the same, but start off with a cat-back. did you notice much of a differnce?

apparently earthing kits can improve performance, had you had any problems with ignition or anything?

as for that green one, i was also slightly suspicious of the low k's, it would of cost a fortune to buy!!

Doug, I'm not sure about how much difference it makes as it was on the car when I bought it. The green one is the only other one I've driven and that felt slower.

The difference in sound however is something else, I find myself downshifting every time I approach traffic lights.

As for the front pipe I'm considering this one for $220 delivered to Adelaide: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=54148

The guy selling them reckons it'll fit.

Cheers

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
