im sure uve all seen it... does anyone have one in Australia yet?

Not with the running gear... ive seen one of the 240RS's already... the actual R34 GTR Front end? Does anyone in Australia have one yet?

I ask because my gf is in need of something new as the soarer doesnt suit her needs anymore... we looked at a stagea today at the dealerships... it was a 97 model.. lowish ks... pretty stock and only 18k.

Thats pretty cheap and i was thinking about importing the R34 GTR front end conversion for it if she does end up getting it to do something a little different. altho im sure knowing my gf she will change her mind again and get something like a Jazz.

incase u dont know what im talking about...

I do believe skyline imports already has a masa kit, compliance plates for cars that already have a masa kit on it, and a mould of the masa kit. But yeah it's probably cheaper to get it put on in japan, as masa's not the only one that does that kit now.

I dunno about skyline import's moulds, last time they tried to do the kakimoto R33 kit, instead of adjusting the wheels with a castor kit so that they didn't rub against the tyre well, they modified the kit so the wheel arch was further back.

They have the kit up to $10,000 fitted was the last quote I was given off them, they are not legal due to the fibrelass Guards and the cars they have converted would be shitty stagea's which needed a re-spray.

We are working on full repo guards out of steel.

yeah i know of the MASA ones... like mmonkey said theres a few places in Japan doing it at them at the moment. Problem is i would have to get it shipped as my gf wants a car thats already here in the country so i wont be able to put it on in japan.

so what would u basically need?

-Guards

-Lights

-Bonnet

-Bonnet latch

-Bar

that would be about it wouldnt it?

the hardest thing to get would probably be the guards as u would have to manufacture up ones that fit on the stagea and that the lines flow through the whole car... you couldnt just cut the front of it to fit the lights could you?

and bumper support, the rest of the brackets you should be able to fabricate using pieces of steel

Why don't you just get standard GTR guards (metal), and fit them to the stagea, if they're too long, shorten them, and then blend it with bog. If they're too short, add more with fibreglass. Surely that's gonna cost you waaaaay less than $10,000

inark, there is another thread on the R-34-style front here ...

As per SK's discovery, the R-34 and C-34 guards aren't interchangeable, which rules out Shan (funkymonkey)'s suggestion. I think there was also a mention of a body crease that's on the R-34 that doesn't appear on the C-34, or vice-versa.

They do look hot though, don't they?

mcnamg's photo gallery is GOLD for Stagea pics, as I'm sure all of you will agree...

It's here. Nice work, Glenn! :(

the only thing that you use that isnt genuine or aftermarket r34 gear is the special stagea specific guards which at the moment are frp which is pretty crap if you ask me.

there are also other pics in my gallery showing some other stageas with different kits on them feel free to have a look through them.

thanks for the plug goldzilla ;)

Inark,

I think Gary (QLD SAU GURU) has a 260rs, dont think anyone has compliance for them yet, but I hope it happens soon as I am buying one in 10 months - can wait.

Ken

nothings not interchangeable... hell we put an R32 front on a 180sx :cheers: (well someone else did for us). All you need to do is make up adapter brackets and probably make extra mounting holes in the chassis (probably will weaken the structure) then you use bog or fibreglass depending on how much needs to be done, to blend the bits together.

Its been done since waaaaay back in the day :D

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
