What he said :D

Its a shame that things like this cant be passed through anymore, but at least it helps drop the amount of previously flogged cars from japan landing over here as it can cost a bit to take some cars back to standard when the parts arent available.

Hello

I can't remember which mag it was in but someone in OZ is making these up using the Masa kit and selling them, how much it didn't say.

You could buy a Stag and do it yourself if you get the Masa kit but you will need to source a bonnet and front bonnet lock mech from a R34 GTR as they are not supplied in the kit if I remember right.

Good Luck as they definitley look good.

PS What would you call it? A GTR front lookalike station wagon with/without the GTR running gear (let the debate start) :D:)

How much would a 260RS with GTR front cost... easy answer coz I nearly went there last week before deciding on a V35...

260RS for sale over here right now in WA for a low $39,990

+ Masa front end including headlights and everything $3500 + shipping (could be worked out for free easily) + fitting and painting. ** Note these are FRP panels so not legal in any state (dont meet ADR crash rules) - so keep your 260RS panels to swap back everytime you get yellow stickered - but hey not many cops would know that they never looked like that from factory - in fact on seeing the RB26DETT under the bonnet they'd prob think the GTR front looks more genuine than the normal 260RS front.

= Probably $46,000 all up for a 260RS with R34 front end :D

:stupid:

Interesting! - Just spoke to the guy - he got it from Japan like that - having to borrow original panels from another Stagea to comply it... said he'd be asking around $50,000 for it. But it doesnt come with the original panels - so no good here in WA coz we cant have plastic panels or carbon fibre bonnets - so ud want original panels to put back on if you ever got stickered. However he said he could "throw in" some original Stagea panels... but you still wouldnt have headlights, mounting kit etc :( Plus theyd be RSFour panels... I think the original 260RS for $40,000 plus getting your own new Masa kit would be the way to go.

Here's a pic anyways... looks silver to me but the guy said its the Nur-spec champaign/gold colour (respray)...

So with the kit it wouldnt pass rego?

Technically no - it shouldnt pass an inspection... BUT as with everything - it would depend on how cluey the inspector is... technically its illegal / defectable... but most of em hardly seen a Stagea so probably wouldnt know... let alone a cop to pick it up in the first place. If you got a yellow for something else (tyres, engine mods) I wouldnt even change the kit for the pit inspection - you probably got an 80% chance they wont say anything, and if they do, just do the white lie "it came over like this and was complied like this - from my understanding it was a factory option body kit using genuine panels from the GTR - so was passed for ADR when complied the same way the GTR is". Then in 90% of the 20% of times they might ask you still get off... BUT you might get that persistent inspector who looks real close and realises they arent sheetmetal panels and tells you to remove them and book in for another inspection... in which case you'll need to pay the several hundred dollars to change it over and back again :)

Still worth it though!!! :wassup:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
