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. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

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

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

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 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

[AlexCim]

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

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,

Nick T.

Sweet. Another green one and in NSW

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?

[Terminal]

There's a few of us in canberra now, it's getting more populous. i think there is one located at batemans bay too, but not sure.

i think there were 300 plates issued in 2004, another 300 in 2005

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.

[Terminal]

Awesome, you'll have to drop us a line when you get here so we can see your beast

I just changed my rego to ACT actually, got the plates YRS-04V on order

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??
