when i worked at import dealers a long time ago, i used to drive the stagea around, they are really good...

we once had one with an RB26DETT conversion done to it and that was really good, i dont know how much they go for now but when i first started i think they where somthing like 27,000 up???

oh they go hard too ehhehehe....lots of torque and if modified right it can be a sleeper, go the stagea

man manual is very hard, when i was looking i done just a general search on stageas in carsales, tradingpost, and ebay, and in all three sites there was only two manual in the contry. so they are rare.
i wonder because the ones that come with rb25, is it possible 2 put r33 manual conversion straight in????? :-?

do you want an AWD manual conversion,or just FR? AWD you need to swap to a GTR gearbox. FR you want an R33 GTS-T gearbox,and they're almost as hard to come by as manual stageas. you'll also need a custom tailshaft as a GTS-t unit will be too short.

an R32/33 GTS4 gearbox can be used too i guess, maybe better ratios than the GTR box. possibly even cheaper to obtain also.

anyway for me its only speculation at this stage. but i still like them, even if they DO look like an 850R :P
