For a daily driver, it's fine. With the exhaust (once l get it ... don't ask ) and a few other things l think l'll be quiet content with it.

I've got another car for my performance needs.

AMS, na better, i was exactly the same

When i was looking around for a Stagea i was reading up heaps here and asking questions and stuff.

But its funny, because i am saying that even with the amount of people on this stagea forum which isnt many, several still havnt received theirs yet, highlighting the uniqueness and rarity of a stagea in Australia.

Mmm...cant wait to upgrade to a M35 in ~2 years when compliance and all that exists!

[AMS]

So you are definatly goign to upgrade? If so, why bother with the manual conversion?

[AMS]

Woot! 1007 posts! Sorry bout that......

[AlexCim]

Well, the way things are going at the moment, there are several investments i will be making and possibly putting a deposit down on a house. So that could limit me with money spending.

The way i see things, enjoy everything while it lasts. Manualize the car now, will be more fun for the time being. Hey, i dont know what will happend, i may keep it for a long time or i could upgrade, but the plan at the moment is that within 2-3 years to be able to afford an M35

[Iron Chef]

Get on your msn STAGEN!! lol

[-FUZZY-]

Got the strut bar in ... and WOW ... does that make one hell of a big difference. No longer does it feel so "floaty" round corners. Thanks again Alex for it!!

For the melb pep's ... ICE performance, best place to go to get a SAFC II tuned? Its installed, just need tuning done on it.

Exhaust & other parts that weren't originally sent down with car still not here, dragging the chain a bit they are. Supposedly l'm guarantee'd it mon/tues next week, l'm not holding my breathe though.

And my 18's are going soon as well ..... new, bigger shoe's & rubber are going on .... W00T!!

On another note, haven't received one bad comment bout the car, everyone that see's it loves it ... according to one mate "once the wheels & wing are on, thats one awesome Jap Cruiser!!". Even got a few thumbs up & smiles from other skyline drivers i've seen when out driving!!

[AlexCim]

Your car is a little more noticable then mine.

I dont get too many thumbs up, infact, heaps of people even dont notice

Told you to hold off putting the strut bar for a week, so you can actually feel the differce. Most people have them std and take it for granted

[-FUZZY-]

I held off for a week .. was registered last thurs

And can def tell the difference. Once l have some spare coin l might look into the rear strut bar as well.

my car looks the same as yours atm ... well just a bit lower coz of kit. Still got the 33 wheels on it.

[Ska]

Yeah I dont get many looks either, till I give it a bit, turns some heads then

[AlexCim]

Next chassis bracing that ill get is the Do-Luck RXB (rear cross bar)

Goes from the driver seatbelt bottom point, to the passenger. I have heard good things about them, and they, as much as possible helps. I dont really want a cage either, that would kinda ruin the car.

Rear strut brace would be annoying for carrying stuff, so not sure about that either.

[-FUZZY-]

Sorry l meant rear sway bar.

[Tangles]

Yup, swaybars will be my first point of call with the suspension, just got to save a little more. At this stage(a) - sorry, bad joke but I luv it! - after todays further tuning I wont be doing anymore mods until next July, when I get my yearly work bonus.

Then I grab a rear shock for the Fireblade, and swaybars and front discs/braided lines for the Stagea. I only drive it a few times a week, so not really needing suspension work done as yet.
