I tried to talk Mel out of the WRX idea.... they seem to attract the same if not more attention than our skylines. A work mate bought one when his little fella was born, and was defected the next day!

The forrester isnt a bad idea.... but two 'girls' at work drive them.

LS1 concumption around town is quoted at 14.5 - 15.5 around town, which is again RB territory I believe.

Looks like we may be taking an offer of $16,500 on Mel's car, and be done with it.

PS.. we got 5 hours straight last night!!!

5hrs straight is awesome (considering the weather)! Hope all is going well for your new family. Our little 3wkold Deontae was hot yesterday, no more than 3hrs during nights. *yawn*

Considered the WRX hatch, but boot space for pram, dog, 2kids belongings, etc..... not big enough, and the Forrester GT was a bit too expensive (same price as a Series2 Stagea).

*yawn, sleepy*

Stagea wins out, an import, Nissan, rb25det, awd, etc, great value & perfect for a 3to4-person family. Under 20k gets a great-nick unit, mine was under 18k.

I like the performance (got around 230-oddkw at engine) and capabilities of the Stagea, and the lines are sleek-as. Tasty, and a treat to own. Best car purchase Ive made, and for your 16500 sale its basically a car-exchange plus stampduty. =)

Im paying ~$900 for full comp insurance thru Shannons, I think replacement value for my Series1 Stagea is ~$22k (a few mods), plus Im paying around the same for the CBR thru Shannons, with that valued at $13k.

There are probably less than a dozen Stagea's in SA...... so you get a unique vehicle and authorities wouldnt have a clue as to what it is, whats standard etc. A true Stealth Wagon and great value for money; in my opinion.

If Mel wants to have a test drive, PM me Pauley.

Cheers BW.

Put the little fella in the laundry if you need a good nights sleep!

As far as selling the 32.... another withdrawn offer.

SPOTTERS FEE = $100 per $300 over $16,500 sale price!!

my wife had an r33 series 2 25gtst and we sold it for the same reason. cant fit child capsule properly . i wouldnt go for o taxi though so bought a wrx. mind you the turn a cot capsule does fit safely in the 32 gtr . my daughter loves dadys car but can seem funny cruising around with high five tunes playing . lol as far as the back goes get dady to put bub in the capsule. CONGRATS by the way. having kids is one of the best things to happen to a person these days other than owning a skyline.

I hate to break it to you pawley but last time i checked i am a girl!

how is the insurance of stagea?

I pay $1600 for my skyline in insurance (because i'm under 25), and they said they would do the same price on a 1996 stagea.

$1600 is total reamage (soz).

See the Stagea section, "Insurance" should be on page 1, if not then page 2.

Im only a couple of years older than you, but..... Im sure you could get it down a little to near $1100 maybe.

Good luck with the sale, & I hope bubs is going well.

Im 28, rating one / 65% no claim bonus.

Got quoted from between over $2000 to under $1000.

Im with Shannons, but JustCars was actually cheaper just didnt have paybymonth option.

With Shannons, the more oplicies you have (ie both your turb' cars) the cheaper it is. And a fixed price, modified, etc etc.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
