Would it be enough to stop the volvo comments?

Never!! Driving a wagon slowly erodes the sports car driver view of life :(

That does look very nice though. Maybe time to have some kids and get a wagon :(

I went to envy imports in manly the other day enquiring about a stagea for myself.

They have one arriving in a week that looks exactly like this one, running full R34 RB26 with about 350awkw....

are selling it for about $59k.

Thats exactly what i want.

From the little I understand, it seems this is actually a fully engineered conversion using an R34 front cut. This page seems to support that. However, I have seen a pic that may suggest the quarter panels and arches have just been modified/flared to match the R34 GT-R front bar and lights...

Hello

The black one is a kit made by Masa as per the Masa sticker on the window.

The guards are not from a R34 as they are made to conform with the bodylines on the side and the front bar is a special item to fit as well. You will need to source a bonnet, front bonnet mech and the electrics if I remember correctly from an article in one of the performance mags.

I will have to see if I still have the mag for more info.

yes, the R34 front onto a Stagea is a kit - custom guards and front bar (I think original ba canbe modded to fit). R34 guards don't line up as the Stagea one's are about an inch lower into the engine bay. Orginal R34 lights, bonnet and bonnet latch mechanicals also required.

There will be one for sale in a couple of weeks - GTR front and driveline. :)

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
