Yeah you's are right GTR fronts do look sick on the volvo look-a-like stagea. Why do you's buy these crap looking wagons. If yous want a decent wagon why didn't you's buy a Legnum. If you want something that looks mad buy a R34 instead of paying like 8gs to make a crappy R34 wagon!

Skyline Imports up in QLD should have the moulds to the R34 facelift kits.

Yes, in around June this year when I was really looking into buying a Stagea, one of the Qld compliance plate holders offered me the opportunity to import any S2 and then have the R34 front end conversion performed.... it wasnt that much more additional $ to the standard compliance fee, by memory, just a few grand?

Stagea RS-Four, maybe a few phone calls are in order! :lol: Try Skyline Imports, perhaps Nismo?

EDIT: yes, they look awesome! :D

Talk to Ernie from there, he should know what you're goin on about as he mentioned getting a kit ready to offer to their customers when we spoke last.

OK you guys better sit down, just got off the phone with Ernie, and the news was not pretty.

To take your stagea in to him and drive out with a R34 front all inclusive of everything needed and paint matched, you would be looking at about $10,000

Although he has the moulds and can sell kits for about $6,000, which does not include front bar, bonnet, radiator support, headlights and wiring.

So that's it for me, definatly out of my price range.

Reason Erine told me those is because apparently there is a lot of work involved in doing this conversion, but yeah I'll think I'll pass.

Although he has the moulds and can sell kits for about $6,000, which does not include front bar, bonnet, radiator support, headlights and wiring.

So, if it does not include front bar, bonnet, radiator support, headlights and wiring,

what do you get for $6000!

A pair of guards?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
