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?

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
