Hey Guys! I Just Bought A Stagea

[Guest]

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.

[AMS]

Yeah, I knew about the fact that it went through 5 times. J Spec were my brokers, fantstic job they did aswell

I NEED those STANDARD Parts! Anyone with any ideas or suggestions PLEASE PLEASE Post!

good luck with it

cheers

Thanks StageZilla

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

Who's doing your compliancing Stagea RS-Four??

[AMS]

A place called IAMSHE in Brisbane. Costing me $2750 + GST + Tyres = $3500 all up. Where is yours getting done and how much is it costin you?

[AMS]

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?

[funkymonkey]

is yours burgandy or nismo red (same colour as the 400R's)?

[AMS]

Yeah I think so. Why?

[AlexCim]

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...

[AMS]

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

[AlexCim]

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

[AMS]

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?

Edited September 3, 2005 by Stagea RS-Four

[AlexCim]

Sk said up to 300...

I am gonna get a GTR cooler myself.

[AMS]

Is that 300atw's? or flywheel?

[AlexCim]

atw

I wouldnt settle for 300 flywheel hehe

[AMS]

300 atw's is actually around where I would like to get to! So thats a step in the right direction. Now, AlexCim, what plans do you have turbo wise?
