Your kit is in the hyper rev mag. It says" M's FACTORY" whoever they are.

OK.

Attached are some photos of 2 x Series 2 Stageas with different kits.

The gray S2 has a DAYZ kit (as identified by the DAYZ badge on rear), the white one has, what I believe, the Dolphin Aeroform. I am missing the front spoiler at the moment - being repaired. I have attempted to photograph both vehicles side by side for comparison sake.

You will notice the rear spoilers are different shapes also. Due to time constraints, and being too short one end, I did not manage to get a photograph looking down onto the spoilers for a clearer definition.

Regards,

Ok, by the sounds of it ppl's arnt quite ready as yet, ie with cash and decisions.

I'll leave it for now, but make a couple of phone calls anyway to see who can take moulds and produce quality skirts. There are a quite a few places, but pretty much WAY out the other side of the city from where I live, although there are a couple of local places I can try.

I'll be off from xmas to february (paternity leave for the 2nd kiddie), so can do running around for people then!!! Unless ppl's order bulk kits in from Japan???

EDIT: I wont be getting any bodykit parts whatsoever, but if I can help ppl out then I will. :P

I'm ready, have cash, want Dayz side skirts.

:P cheers :)

Thought so SK,......

So, tell me what you'd like me to do?

See if I can get moulds made and 1 copy set made up?

Just that Ive got no contacts as such as Im not involved in the car industry (besides mod'n the Stagea!)

Or can Sydney bodymoulders be able to do the job? I had a full GTR-style kit made up for our old Pulsar N15 hatch about 5yrs ago, done in Sydney from one of the more-recognised manufacturers (JetSpeed?).....

BW

Your'e here (Adelaide) for Mallala arnt you Gary (SK)?

Maybe you might want to meet up with me somewhere in the city, I can Loan you my Dayz side skirts for you to take back to Sydney, make your moulds and skirts (Im sure you've got contacts) and then post my skirts back to me?

UPDATE

Made a phone call, going to see a proffessional company either tomorrow (Saturday 8th Oct) or the following Saturday.

They can make up a mould, which I get to keep, and make up however many sets are required, whenever they are required.

They have assured me that my car's Dayz side skirts bodykit wont be damaged, so Im aok with all of this.

This is for side skirts only, not the rear bumper skirts or the front bar. Also, I will say straight out that I dont want to be held accountable if purchasers percieve the replica side skirts to be of poor construction/condition etc. Im doing this as a favour to the rest of you (wonderful) Stagea owners.

I'll get some quotes and go from there..... and update this forum thread once I have more info.

WOW - now Im a bodykit seller!

Brendan

:P:D But its going to cost me for the moulds..... :D:P

I'll get prices and post it all up and you ppl's can make your decision from there. For it to be viable I reckon 5 sets would need to be made up, depending on the cost of the moulds.

Please confirm - is this what people want? Some sexy replica Dayz side skirts? I can confirm they look FANTASTIC on the Stagea, not too pimpy but yet not too constrained either.

ok ive decided ill be in for a replica set of dayz side skirts ASAP :P

i got cash and waiting, just need a rough price first :D

cheers

Brad

If I can tomorrow I'll get down to the shop and ask for a quote - but I dont see the point in paying that kind of cash ($600) for a set of moulds. Youd want 12 ppls straight away ordering a set of side skirts to make it viable.

Isnt it better for you lot (who want bodykits - Im fine, Ive got a Dayz!!) to buy a bulk lot from Japan and share the costs?

i cant see the jap genuine sideskirts to be anymore than $400 max i reckon + postage obviously.

i think the abflug ones are $250 or so

Personally I think I would be more comfortable with a genuine (plastic) set rather than fibreglass copies. To get the ball rolling I have sent out some enquiries to the usual Japanese exporters. I will try and set up a Group Buy on Dayz and Autech body kits. I will post up the progress as soon as it comes to hand.

:D cheers :blink:

Yep, I will be in Adelaide for the Improved Production Nationals from 11th to 13th November. At this stage it looks like I will be flying down, not Stagea driving. But I could always load stuff into the transporter.

Let's see how the Group Buy approach works first.

:D cheers :blink:

Really appreciate it Sk... :D

Well done SK,

Ive been to the moulder / fibreglass maker..... COST prices as follows:

Mould per side of side skirt only: $375 per side

Fibreglass 'Dayz' copy of mould: $250 per side

So $750 to get moulds made up, and around $500 per pair (could be cheaper if a large run happens at the same time, ie 10-off may be $450 a pair).

Plus shipping and cost of packaging..... not worth it in my opinion, the first 10 ppl's would be up for around $575 a pair plus freight.

But thats an option for what I can do on my end, from a reputable company.... hope that helps somewhat.

Brendan

I want that EGZART rear bumper, front grille, and side skirts :O

EGZART side skirts are $670

rear bumper is $766

no price on the grille ;)

front bumper is ok, but doesnt suit a large front mount cooler :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
