I am look at buying a stagea and want to ask a few questions.

What model do i need to get a manual??

How much would a 260RS cost or would it be cheaper to put a RB26 in later??

Can the 2.5 be modified with a RB30 bottom end??

Can they be changed to RWD like the r32 GTR??

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Rob

Hey Rob,

Manual, you would need either a series 2 NEO Manual

or

a 260rs

In regards to the RB26 Conversion, I would be inclined to say that its cheaper to buy and convert. But still I'm not too sure. Better to talk to Stagzilla on that one... :)

RWD. Now as far as I know you can but cant. So basically, you can convert it to RWD with the attesa controller, but you cannot get it fully RWD. Thats all I know on that one... B)

I hope that helped a bit.

Cheers,

Chris :D

I used J Spec, very helpful and great service. Have a chat to Ben Lippa :D

Front end conversion, I have been quoted (By garage-13) $5750 for the front end kit + $1500 for the install <_< I think you could get it cheaper....just have to shop round.

I'm planning on getting the 260rs bodykit when I get some more money. B)

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks Chris,

Also is it very expensive to do a R34 conversion front end?

I am after something a bit different as i am in Tassie and there are R33's every where.

You won't need an R34 front end to be different, Stagea's are rare as hens teeth as they go. Find a nice one, put some nice wheels and a bodykit on it and you'll be set

260rs is cheaper, though the km's are probably gonna be around 100 000km (even if dash says 40 000km or some rubbish) and the rb26's r prone to cracking piston ring lands and blowing excess oil out past the rings, so make sure its genuine low km's.

i would have gone 260rs but i already had the rb26 engine and i thought it would be cheaper (and easy :D )

good luck

hey i just warn u the stagea is a heavy sucker :D

weighed mine with no driver and half tank of fuel and sub box and 2 amps in it, and it got 1800kg exactly.

even with 350rwhp it was abit of a slug off the line, the rb25 auto on the other hand was a beast to launch off lights fast :) just lacked up top, and the 26's top end makes up for it, and the manual goodness :D

rb30 bottom end is possible, need a sump adaptor because the rb30 block doesnt have the 4wd bolt pattern.

the stock axles on the diff r tiny and so are the uni joints so 3L torque would munch them in no time, my 26 snapped one clean in half just coming onto boost while rolling along in 1st gear.

the stageas can be put in 2wd, plenty of different methods, remove front tailshaft or undo the line off the rear of gearbox and screw it into a spare actuator (same as thing thats on rear of gearbox) to stop it pressing the clutch packs together :)

hope it helps

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
