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

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
