there is a stagea forum on the SAU forums too, they also have a spotted thread etc.

They are nice cars, but the stock auto ones are pretty slow and VERY boat-ish.

I've yet to drive the Autech 260RS, but hopefully I will one day :(

I can give you a rough estimate on numbers... AutoWholesale are the only WA yard that is a RAW for Stageas, and they have bought in and complied and sold 28 so far. Plus there's another 4 or so that I know of (including mine) bought in from Eastern States... so Id estimate somewhere between 35 and 40 Stageas driving around in WA. Doesnt seem that many though coz I hardly ever see them out and about.

Have driven the 260RS at Autowholesale - very nice - but still very choked up due to emissions compliance - 2 x cats and 4 x pre-cats... so 3" it straight through, a few other basic mods and a bit of boost and they chirp all 4 tyres. For those that werent aware - Autowholesale this week knocked $10,000 of the price of that 260RS to get it out of the yard - so now $39,990 - not bad for GTR lovers with families or who dont want the attention a GTR gets - a 1997 4 door GTR for $40g - and talk about a sleeper!

And the standard RSFours are certainly heavy in stock form - but 1998 onwards came in manual or tiptronic - but with some similar mods as you'd do to a sedan Line and they can be alot of fun too... a few Stageas around oz at 250rwkw... and one in NZ running low 11 second runs :(

:P

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
