Hi all,

Just put a deposit down on a Stagea RS260 yesterday. Will be picking it up in the next 3-4 weeks. There's no Stagea specific forum here, so I thought the GT-R forum with you R33 owners would be the best fit. Looking forward to learning from you all as I try to keep this thing on the road in a country where it was never sold.

I only recall ever seeing one once, and that was at a car show. Post some pics!!

First order of business will be putting on fresh tires (those meats are ancient!) that add some sidewall and lift the suspension a little. Looking to have the wheel wells tight to the top of the tire, not on top of the rims. After that, a little deferred maintenance, a US-type receiver and second set of rims for the non-summer months. Finally, the exhaust is nice and throaty, but may be too droning at freeway speeds. If so, I'll swap it out as part of a plan to take it to somewhere in the 400-450 hp range.

Looks like native photo hosting isn't getting fixed. Not looking to sign up for another account elsewhere, so here are a couple of the dealer glamour shots:

Too cool! Five pounds of s#!t in a three pound bag so I sure don't want to work on it, but what a great ride!

Hahaha! Never heard that one. I like it!

Your point is valid. I expect many busted knuckles and lost bolts. I'm pretty sure that a sagging engine mount will take out the battery, master cylinder, and one mushroom filter all at one time.

Pick it up next week and then take it on a 2300 mile journey. Very excited.
