Buy the GTR cut Darrin and throw it in the Staj, you know you want to!

It is tempting, but I need to buy a Stagea first and do the 34GTR front conversion

Have the bonnet and headlights now, about to order the Masa guards next.

Porn, post up the pics when its done. I saw one in the flesh in Achiharbra, looked fantastic.

When I have all the parts and the car I will start a new thread with the progress

Will probably be around Febuary by the time a get a car from Japan. Need to sell my R33 which will be ready for sale in about 3 weeks. Blame the wife for the hold up!

Cheers chris,

I checked your one also while searching but it was a bit out of our price range.

Did you put in the new exhaust? What kind is it? Size etc...

Ive been trying to source some exhausts but they arent cheap.  :blink:

Nah I didnt put my exhaust on, its coming like that from Japan :D Exhaust is a Fujitsubo Legalis R... at $1100 new they certainly arent the cheapest of exhausts :O

I believe Alex has a custom catback for sale.....If I didnt already have one, I would probably buy it :D

Cheers,

Chris

Infact, i just got a random message from someone on monday about my exhaust, he is sending me a money order in the post as we speak.

Look in my thread about the fujitsubo exhaust, its really a damn nice exhaust. Four of us on this forum have that exhaust terminal, me, chris and muck...

The Stagea arrived today :)

WOW! what a car. I was very impressed.

I get my license back on friday and Im keen as to go for a drive in it.

(Also hell keen to take my R33 for a spin) :)

Checked out Alex's exhaust thread, some good info and the sound files are also handy :D cheers.

Im curious as to where you guys got them from?

Did you buy localy or import them?

Was the $1100 price for the back pipe and muffler or the whole system including cat and front pipe?

Are the front pipe and cat the same as R33 GTST?

Sorry, more noob questions :angry:

My Fuji was airmail from japan from www.revzone.com.au (also my tuning shop)

Was $1100 with a short wait

My cat was $440 (R33 GTST) on top of that and my single split front/dump was $395 (R33 GTST) and required a little bit of modification to fit ($50 worth, probably design issue being split)

So my total exhaust spend was $1945 + the $240 I lost on my first custom catback.

Good luck with it :angry:

Nice buy, gR33ddy!

Mine's dark green as well. You might have leather (which I would have liked, along with the twin sunrooves), but mine's been converted to manual by the previous owner!!!

Are you in Sydney? If that's the case, then we have to get a group together soon for a meet-up.

Cheers,

Sweet. Another green one and in NSW :D

We got the Auto for the missus.

She can drive manual but prefers the simplicity of the auto ;)

Im actually located south of Batemans Bay so probably a bit too far for a cruise unfortunately.

I think the nearest stagea to us is in either canberra or nowra?? not 100% sure but?

Anyone know how many stageas there are in OZ?

Meh, oh well. A fair hike, indeed, but I am hoping to come to Canberra shortly to visit some family... That's probably the closest I'll get for a while.

I finally got to drive the stagea and was very impressed with it.

Should feel even better with the suspension/handling upgrade.

I noticed a scraping sound from the right font wheel/rotor area while drivng.

The sound gets faster as I drive faster.

The pads are new and the Rotors have just been machined.

Any ideas?? :)

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
