Hi everyone, here's a short update,

Its going VERY slowly, but we're still doing it (hehe i bought a R33 boot after all) but yeh, i've been away on a business trip for a couple of months so now i'm back i'm going to get straight into it.

prices/etc wont be available until we get our first prototype and get everything going, and its likely to be awhile. maybe a month? not sure at the moment.

This should continue, There seems to be a lack of good (and well priced)airbox's out there for R32 GTRs. Most people have pods (myself included), maybe a universal shroud could be made to detract attention from Constable Care?

Ill be making one of these for my gtr with apexi pods in the next 2 or 3 weeks so ill let ya know how i get on, itl probably be pretty easy to make a duplicate and send it over to ya.

quink,............... i've heard around the ridges that there are companies crash testing carbon bonnets to meet ADR approvel, will your exterior bits be ADR items? I have a lovely wet carbon bonnet on my z33 but my insurance company has now knocked me back because of it, do you or anyone else know who insures these carbon bits, I had wanted a nose cone, bonnet, front gaurds, mirrors, 3d wing for a r34 project but not if i can't insure the thing.

Yes, me too!

Would love one of those.

Also front lip r32 GTR 4 sure

Hi I am interested in an R32GTR airbox to suit Apexi pods. preferably carbon fibre side(s) and perspex top (so the filters can still be seen/inspected).

there are a few designs around and I could send you a link if you want to have a look.

I'm sure there is plenty of R32GTR owners with Apexi pods who would buy one.

    • Yay. I'm the lucky one who got the bad LCD. Only 138,000km or so on this car.  🙄 On a non-Nissan car I have, similar issues were related to failing cold solder joints. At least with the Stag, I'm not losing my speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, and temp gauge. I guess I get to go into the dash at some point. I'm not overly concerned about it, but it's annoying. Seems to be happening more frequently in the past couple weeks too. Not sure if that's the summer heat causing hassles or the problem genuinely getting worse. Bleh.
    • Hi mate, I have never had an issue with the odometer in mine (450,000+ klm now) and can't remember another post about it. Still, your description of the likely cause sounds spot on, so an electrics repair is probably the next stop.
    • Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?
    • I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.
    • Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.
