4cfed

Hey there R33Dan.... welcome to town mate and trust me when I say handling the heat doesn't get any easier the longer you are here. And if you don't have a nice big fmic now, then you should probably think about making that your next mod - especially with that new turb. And hey, that reminds me ..... there's a guy down at Perkins Shipping who reckons he can get a heap of cheap Jap performance parts. Says he has some Galant, Silvia, 180sx and Skyline GTR parts for sale. I got him to put my name on a set of Brembos ....... and at the price he quoted me, well shit ..... it's practically stealing!!!!! Hey Ken, you interested in any of these parts? :ddd:

That's voices, not noises!!!! And atm their saying "go on 4cfed, you know she wants it..... go on, just give it to her" - more boost, that is!!!!! :aroused:

Yeah mate, too right ........ so I hope this guy knows what his talking about!

I hope so, cos' when I get it.... I don't want my mechanic to have any problems when he is fitting it for me :kick:

Hi All, Can anybody confirm whether or not the power steering pump used on the r33 series 1 Skyline (RB25DET), would be the same as that used on a 1997 Stagea. I have a feeling that my power steering pump is on its way out and I now have an opportunity to grab one off an RB25DET engine from a series 1 r33. Cheers

And for the benefit of Jay95R33..... the answer is "no". I don't know if Sinyou went around spearing these evil wrong-doers with his enourmous horn!!! :headspin:

Hey thanks, that's a good analysis and explanation of the Stagea name - but I'm still not sure of the unicorn emblem and that it doesn't mean anything at all. It is peculiar only to the Stagea - even to the extent that it has been incorporated into the 'S' symbol, otherwise used to denote Skylines and later model Silvias - or if you want to look at it the other way, that the 'S' symbol has been modified to incorporate the double unicorn head. I have a complete set of genuine Stagea floor mats in my car and they all have the 'S' double unicorn head (as per the grille badge) symbol on them. Therefore, I am sure that it does have some meaning that is particularly special to the Stagea. During my web research, I found that the "unicorn" has a more ancient existence in the orient than its Western or European counterpart does, but both still share the same mystical qualities, such as purity and evasiveness etc. The Chinese and Japanese "unicorn" was a female named Chi-Lin or Kirin (respectively). But that is not all, as there was also a male version of this oriental "unicorn". This male version of the oriental unicorn still had the single horn - but unlike Kirin, who closely resembled a horse - he was believed to bear a closer resemblance to a deer. Hence, we now have the English word for a male deer (Stag) making up part of the name of one of our favourite Japanese imports. Anyway, the male oriental unicorn's name was Sinyou. Now as legend has it, this Sinyou was a most galant creature. He apparently roamed the ancient oriental countryside, metting out swift and powerful punishment to robbers and other wrong-doers. Thus, he came to symbolise not only pure action, but also justice! Any other thoughts on this? Am I totally off-track here or am I just missing something?

Hi, Pics to [email protected] plz

Thanks guys .... and of course you are both absolutely correct. I was actually considering "ELUSIVE", "HORNY" or "HORNED1" for my personalised rego plates. Any other ideas anybody?

Hi All, Being a bit of an Asian history buff - as well as a car enthusiast and now a Stagea owner - I suppose it is fairly natural (and probably a little academic), that I should start to ponder the meaning of the name Stagea. Not speaking Japanese and being unable to find anything about 'stagea' on the internet, other than - of course - info about the car and some Yamaha musical instruments, I then began to examine the relationship between the name and the 'unicorn' Stagea emblem. Hence, I have narrowed it down to what I believe is an idea as to the relationship between the name "Stagea" and the unicorn emblem. I'm not going to rave on about it right now, but for those who are interested (and may be even a little bit bored), then an internet search using the terms 'stag+unicorn' and 'sinyou', might provide some further insight. But who knows? Even though they can be absolutely brilliant engineers, the Japs can also have some really wierd interests or ways of thinking and it might just be much more simple than this. So if any of you guys happen to know the meaning of the car's name and what its relationship with the unicorn is, please tell me or likewise, just post your thoughts about it in this thread. Cheers ..... Craig
