hey everyone im a newbie, just signed up thanks to a heads up from GTO Assassin the champ. Im a regular reader of 3si forums, dont usually post much though. Im also from Australia :rockon:

firstly i have a Nissan Stagea, which is a Skyline wagon for those who dont know. Ive converted mine to full GTR running gear including rb26dett engine, 5 speed box, brembo brakes, gtr diff/axles, etc. The stageas come standard with the same ATTESSA 4wd setup as the gtr's so its pretty much a gtr that looks like a volvo :)

the engine is fully modified and built with an N1 block (stronger than standard block), JUN internals, including 2.7L billet stroker crank, forged rods and pistons, 280/11.35mm lift cams, ati balancer, 1000cc injectors, 4 fuel pumps, Autronic ECU and CDI, HKS T04Z turbo, hks wastegate, and plenty of other mods. Best power to date is 605hp at wheels on 22psi on pump fuel, it should get around 670hp at wheels on race fuel with this turbo setup. Ill be upgrading to a trust t88 or hks t51r KAI in the near future and aiming for around the 800hp at wheels range. My biggest aim with this car is to run a 10 second 1/4 mile pass.

next is my daily driver, its a stock 91 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo, which is unmodified except Tein coilovers and soon ill add some 18' gold volk rims to make it look heaps nicer. I dont really want to start modifying this car as once u start u know it will never end and i got 1 money pit and thats enough for me :)

heres a few pics of the stagea and engine bay...

heres a video of the stagea on the dyno, it was a tune just after run in on only 11psi, it made 420hp at wheels in the video, and its with the lights off showing the flames from exhuast and manifold glowing red.

Those are sick wheels, They look great on that car

Brad - post up the Mandalays aswell. I think they are a much better choice... if they fit of course.

Scotty

lets just say im very jealous of you right now!!! :0,very nice cars,and those rims would look amazing on your car.i say go for it

Damn that thing is low. Any probs getting over road humps or gutters Brad?

Scotty

haha, Scotty the lowered height is chopped in that pic i didnt adjust the coilovers at the time of trying the rims and the front sat abit high so i just did it on photoshop quickly.

this is the real pics of the height it was at when i drive it around (the front needs to be dropped to level it up with the rear)

Yes is scrapes on speedhumps just and the mudflaps always scrape up curbs etc haha, i dont dare park against the big curbs as the front chassis hits the curb as i found out yesterday when i misjudged :brick:

It looks lower at the back. Is it just my eyes or is it a Perth thing?

Scotty
