Just looked at auction reports and not many marks, came through 5 times so I assume who ever bought it for you didnt want you to pay too much and pay what the seller wants.

You will need standard, wheels, exhaust, suspension and some minor panel work, nothing to much.

UPDATE : Suspension is half way there thanks to Sydneykid. Just need some standard fron springs.

Wheels are fine, we just need to source some R33 GTST rims.

If you can help with these parts post here or PM me

Cheers

Chris :P

Just because I can I'm going to post what I think my Stag will look like with the 260rs Bodykit

Now:

Then:

Still I'm not a real fan of the colour. I think I might change it. We will se how the dough fines out.

I have figured out that I will have around 6 grand to spend on the Stag by the time I get my P's. What should I spend it on?

6k.

well, put it ALL aside and get a manual conversion + PFC

Otherwise if no power target

Split dump/front

High flow cat

jap brand cat back (order now..it will take a while)

DFA and IEBC

Sydney kids FULL suspension set up

then splash the other 1k on some decent tyres and some other little goodies you may want...

Heres what I came up with -

- 260rs Bodykit

- Re Spray (Standard Colours)

- Racing Seats

- Black velor re-trim

- GTT Side IC

- Jaycar Gear (Boost controller etc.)

- CGC High Flow

- Tuning

- Cam gears

- Auto Trans Cooler

- Auto Vavle Body Upgrade

So thats it, I think it added up to around $5950 or something like that. What sought of power/400m times could I achieve with this set up?

(Remember that the car already has Exhaust, Coilovers, Mags)

Cheers,

Chris :O

Forgot it already had mods

Well in the end, it really depends what you want

Look in the thread "Get a stagea into the 13's"

The way SK talks about it, if you have a target power, get parts for that target power and dont spend top dollar

The way I said was, spend top dollar on parts, and have a power target but be aware that if you want more, you wont have to change the parts to better ones...

Sooooo

I mean, you seem to not be like me and have no power target but just want more power and handling and not care about looks.

1. If exhaust isnt turbo back, get frontpipe/dump and cat (big power gains there, and bottle neck for everything else)

2. Make sure to include caster bushes and sway bars in your list, they make a BIG difference (i can only speak about swaybars for now)

3. If your going to get a cooler, i would suggest to consider a front mount. GTR cooler with custom pipes (unless GTT cooler is fine for you (~200awkw))

Else, good luck with the car :O

Thanks AlexCim, had a look at the thread and am now left wondering, if I was to go for the GTR intercooler, what are its limits? How many kw's atw's can be obtained from it? :)

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      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.
