As some of you may have read i have recently brought Mitch's Stagea that he had for sale
These are a few pics from the for sale thread
RB25DET
Tints...
Or something...gotta love the Japanese descriptions
Clean underneath...
Masses of room to sleep in...
Its a 1996 RS FOUR which as you can see has the RB25DET from a gts-t (iirc) thats pumping out around 230-240bhp depending on who you listen to.
This thing is as clean as any used car i have ever seen, the sills are spotless as is the rest of the underside of the car.
These are a few pics of the worst points
The rust
The scuffs
Weird bobble in the inner arch area
Paint flake on the fromt bumper
Interior
Unfortunately the mods started before i had even got the car home
I got hold of a couple of things off the options list - a load area cover and a dog net. On top of this literally 10 mins ago i had these dropped off, they have 2 good Bridgestones and 2 fubar'd Falken FK451's (been a long time since i have seen any of these) all for £285 delivered
As this is going to be my daily driver i dont have to much planned but there are plans - lowering springs, exhaust, filter, fuel pump, plugs, decat, boost controller, some pimp rims (when these are dead), i'd like to see 300bhp which shouldnt take much at all really.
I was rather tempted by this Stagea myself but means i would have got to have sold the S14
Nice car MEL! Welcome to RB
Thankfully/luckily i am now in a position to be able to run this and keep my beemer project running too. Economy wise i managed 160ish miles home from Mitch's on 1/2 tank (about £25) which will be okOriginally Posted by blue boy
Loving the torque
And the way it gets up and goes for a big car really surprised me
I really like this car, if I hadn't already got a new car on a boat I probably would've bought it.
Only real problem is the seats. The seats look like an old granny's wallpaper
Agree but they are comfortable enough to keep them for sitting in traffic jamsI really like this car, if I hadn't already got a new car on a boat I probably would've bought it.

Are you going to get a seat cover made of little wooden balls?Agree but they are comfortable enough to keep them for sitting in traffic jams
Sorry, I'll stop taking the p1ss now.
Edit: Would be worth it if you wanted to build a sleeper though.
Are you going to get a seat cover made of little wooden balls?just gonna nick my mums
Nice
Should polish up a treat mate
Ta, needs a bloody good clean, if it stays dry tomorrow that might be the plan.Nice

The first mods
I ordered these before i had even picked the car up - looad cover and dog/safety net
Next i brought myself a decent set of R33 GTR rims, today i went anf got 2 of the tyres changed and them fitted
Much better i think. I have my eye on a well priced set of Sustech Pro coilies to sort out the tractor like ride height
When you taking it off road
wheels look good, just get it lowered
i was thinking the same thing. not bad looking though. looks kind of volvoesque from the side view.
I've thought about it - thera are a couple of fields opposite the house with level access from the road, its been hard not to go and be a proper hooligan before they fill them with useless food stuffsWhen you taking it off road
wheels look good, just get it lowered
Lowering is hign on the agenda
I was tempted as well and I'll have one at some point but i'd have to make some major changes if and when I get one lol, manual and rear drive only would be my plans
This will look really cool once its decked. Good choce on the skyline wheels.
Time to start saving up for an R34 front end conversion?
I would love to do that but the kits are extortionately expensive and i cant seem to find any evidence to suggest that the makers are in business any more or not.Time to start saving up for an R34 front end conversion?
I like this kit - gtr oc chairmans ride
or a nice Dolphin kit
