    Cheers mate, yeah shes a keeper. Even re-assembled the engine with me. Knows the four stroke cycle, what different smoke means from an exhaust (blue, white, black) and the three things an engine needs to run.. taught her bits and pieces over the years so she can show up some of my mates.

    Not 100% decided on which turbo route I want to take yet. I'll resist a single turbo as best I can, while practical. Power figures aren't the aim, more response as its being built for hill climb. 

    From the little I know about the subject, I'd be inclined to stick with a TT setup, nice and snappy on the response and should keep a fat torque curve which, in theory, is ideal for hill climbing.

    I'm a little old school, I don't get the hard tube thing. I am always buying/upgrading shit in my PC and hard tube just makes things difficult.

    Oooh, i like the green. It looks cool, unusual, love it. Welcome. :)

    Ditto! It’s also got gold accents which is kinda weird, looks factory though! And some remnants of the factory pin striping which I want to fix. I’d like to keep it a tidy stock example. :) 

    Thank you! I like it here.

    Gidday! Looks like the grill from an N/A car and a pretty non-standard radiator. Any other mods?

    Ooh, is the grille from an N/A? I like the unicorn badge so it’s definitely staying!! Haha. Um, it has a 3 inch turbo-back and a Nissan Sports diff-back muffler. The radiator is an alloy one my buddy got for it. :D 

  6. Hello everyone!

    Over the course of the last few months, I've been planning to get the Stagea my buddy has had sitting in his backyard for who knows how long and turn it into a cool daily wagon. 

    After bringing to my house, fitting the engine and gearbox (almost, had to source a gearbag crossmember because they lost it), I was ready to go and buy an airbox and MAF sensor because they lost that too, and then I went and got new spark plugs because they were old and buggered, and a bunch of hose clamps, bolts, part of an R31 wiring loom because a dog made a meal of the auto trans plugs (??? seriously?!?!), then, a full set of injectors because the old ones seized up which was just dandy, then, we found a leak in the water pump so we did a new pump/timing kit (I'm used to Subaru's so if one part is faulty, I just replace the lot, it's easier), then we re-assembled the timing kit wrong and had the retaining spring behind the pulley so we fixed that, and a partridge in a pear tree. :) 

    Now, all it needs is a few small bits, a stereo which I'm transferring from my other car and a damn good detail. 

    This is my first factory turbo car so please enjoy this dose video I had to make. Even after all this nonsense, I still think it's rad. 

    1997 Nissan Stagea RSFour.
