Bought A Stagea :)

[-FUZZY-]

Well....bout 2wks ago l put the bid in and got myself a Dec 97 Stagea RSfour.

Pretty damn happy to, as it was the first one l saw that l have really liked, and has enough mods to keep me happy for while (like those BBS wheels *drools*, and all the interior goodies! ).

Anyone know what brand the kit is on the car? as l can't find pics anywhere that look the same.

Just a quick question, with aftermarket head units, do l need an fm transformer thingy so l can listen to aus fm radio??

And has anyone fitted up a Brant Nemesis alarm to their stag?

oh.....here's some pics of it waiting for its boat trip to its new home.......bet it won't look this clean when it arrives in my driveway!! :] :lol:

Hey dude. Looks like your in the same boat with me You realise about the complaince issues with that bodykit? Also, where are you getting her complainced?

Complianced somewhere up in QLD, not sure on details of where. But the guy thats importing it for me, its his friend......soooo

I know the standard front bar is in the car, as is the standard exhaust & wheels.

What other issues is there in regards to the kit??? I was under the assumption bodykits were alright. Was just engine mods, eheels, breathing mods, etc.. that were not compliable (is that a word?!?!).

Well my car has to be 100% standard so, no wheels, no suspension, no exhaust. I'm thinking that you may have to get a standard bodykit (?). I need some standard wheels if you want to lend me your standards when your done (or I could buy them?). Do you have aftermarket suspension on that?

[AMS]

I Just re-red your post. There is possibly no issues with bodykits...Im not too sure.

Sorry to be a post whore, but that is one damn nice Stagea!

I looked up your kit in my trusty Hyper Revs Stagea mag and you kit is a " Charge Speed". 100% sure the front is anyway. Yes I think it all is. The pic in the book is a on a dark green Stagea Pg 104. Has the eye lids too.

What front bar is it? Just the standard RSFour front bar? If so, lucky my car is white too, can i grab it off you? I want a front bar to chop up for...reasons

[-FUZZY-]

Have to get a copy of that book l think!!!

I'll let u know alex, l have no idea what bar it is, but l'm guessing its standard from what my contact in japan said. I'm guessing its for a cooler? if so l wanna see pics & updates on what you do!!

If anyone know's of a 260RS wing for sale, let me know, l'm keen for it!!

My car is on a boat this week (prolly today), so l'm starting to organise a few things so l'm ready to go once the car gets to my driveway (after compliance), like front window tinting, etc....

How many of you did a full service when you got your car??

I'm thinking of changing all the usual stuff (oil, filters, g/box oil, spark plugs, full tune, etc...) and possibly the front pads as well, so at least l know the history and when it was done. Are the pads something l may need to order now??

Is it worth doing the discs as well??

Also.....what size speakers fit into the doors??

will 6/6.5" (for fronts) speakers fit??? (l'll be looking at splits for the front, and something that'll handle bass for the back as l don't want a sub)

And does anyone in melb know if Danny from AutoTrust still answers email's, or just calls?? Need to talk to him in regards to alarms, and sent him and email 5 or so days ago

i found the standard system to be VERY good, i am not going to change any of the speakers. With an aftermarket 50w per channel head unit they sure do the job perfectly.

As for service, i beleive your car will receive some goodies when going through compliance, including brake pads and so on.

Dont just replace the pads unless you dont get new ones, save your dollars and go for a full brake upgrade. My brakes shutter right now, but its the rears discs and pads and i am just holding off until i can afford slotted dics and high performance pads.

I did a service on my even though i bought it in Aus. Its best if your going to do something liek that if you put in some more mods, like DFA or something, and then change all the things and then go for a full tune, i am waiting on some parts before a tune...should be much nicer.

Anyway, how long until your car arrives? How long is the wait for compliance and then till delivery. Shipping is around 15 days....

[-FUZZY-]

Yeah l like my music, but we'll see how we go. There's already an aftermarket head unit & tv/dvd in there, hence why l was thinking of getting some splits at least.

Is it worth upgrading the fronts brakes/calipers to r33GTST one's?? or on a stock stagea they fronts are fine, well maybe with some slotted discs.

car....10-14 days on the boat, clear customs a few days max, then its off to be complianced straight away, prolly 1-2wks max there, then to melb & get registered. So l'm guessing 5 weeks from now. Would be in OZ already l reckon by coz of O-bon in japan everything got delayed by 10 days. *sigh*

Head unit wont work in Australia...with radio at least, unless you get an FM expander, but then its a bitch becaue its like, 80.3 is nova and stations are expanded 10 or 20 Mhz depending which channel is free...confusing to say the least, but if you do your presets, it works out all good.
