Greetings fellow Stagea fans thought I might post a poll to find out the opinions of fellow Stagea fans.

Which series of Stagea do you prefer? Series 1 or 2. When you vote post up why you prefer a particualr series take into account things such as appearance, performance, price and anything else that makes a difference to your decision.

Lets hear some opinions.

Happy Posting

Edit. What are peoples opinions on the different styles of bodykit available for series one and series 2 in your opinions which has the greater of better range of choices

I much rather Series 1. I just dont like the looks of the front of the Series 2. Other than that, the only thing that would make me want to buy a Series 2 would be that "rumour" that Series 1's dont come fromt the factory as a manual...?

Lucky my Series 1 is manual :D

FLAME AWAY!

Glenn, you're back!?!?!?!

Whatever happened to the "Dammit, I'm gonna miss my crashed Stagea, might have to replace it with a 260RS now..." thing?

Welcome back, anyways...

Oh and I prefer the front end of the s1, but the clear indicators, etc. of the s2 - wouldn't mind having that Neo6 engine, either...

series 1 for looks, i like the front lights better than series 2 and also the grille on series 2 looks funny with the spotties in it. series 2 taillights r wayyy better though. series 2 driveline is heaps better but that doesnt matter if u r changing it all like me :P

at the end of the day its still a stagea which ever one u choose so either is a good option in my opinion :)

each to their own :)

i love my series 1, i have cool eyelids and grill, also a nice simple bodykit. The engine is the same as my old R33 so i know how to work with it and things like tiptronic don't really appeal to me. I prefer having the driving/fog lights inside the light cluster rather than a separate set of lights in the grill.

Soon i'll have series 2 interior though (RSFour-S) and i've got series 2 tailights, so mines a bit of a mongrel now. Series 1 260RS wing is the icing on the cake.

Lastly for the price, i don't think i'd get a series 2 with dual sunroofs and leather interior.

There's my 1.73¥

Gold,

Thanks for the welcome back but your thinking of madwagon who stagea got hit by a bus in qld (Im in WA BTW) he was the one who was going to use the insurance money to buy an rs260.

back to the topic I prefer series on stageas as the lights look better and i think the front looks more aggressive. I also think that the body kits for series one look better. only downfall on S1 is no manual but for the prices you can pick up a series one for at auction and the cost of conversion its still cheaper than a series 2 manual with the same bits like leather dual roofs and so forth

thats my 2 baht

I stand corrected! Regardless, you have been pretty absent from the forums for a while (or at least this part of it, anyway).

Yeah havent been on too much lately and when I have been on I have just been reading and not posting. Current job blocks internet access to non approved sites so cant post from work like I used to. Good to see more people posting though.

What about the later model (2001-)?

Mmmm, 400Nm of VQ25DET goodness.

I would love one of those even if they do look more like a Volvo.

Here Here! I love the look of the M35!! mmMMmmMMmm bring on the ability to bolt on turbo kits from 300ZX's!

im very very suprised that people are voting for the series 1 over the series 2 :P i thought i just had bad taste, and expected everyone to say the series 2 is way better and series 1's are crap :O

good to see varying opinions, as all series 2's on the road or just series 1's would be abit boring now wouldnt it :no:

I reckon both look pretty good. I do like the Series 2 with the Neo, and unlike many, I really enjoy the tiptronic. Its pretty good too, when giving it some stick. I also enjoy changing with the lever too, nice clicking progression, although its the reverse of my XR6T.

One thing that really impresses with the Neo engine tho, is the smoothness of the thing. It just keeps revving out. Cant wait to let it breathe a bit better.

I must say that the lights on the Series 1 look better. Still, at least people notice the Stag.......I get heaps of blokes nearly breaking their necks to have a look, going WTF! :O

I preferred a white car - the SII was available, therefore now that I have paid the money - it is SII. Then again there are some nice SI getting around. At the end of the day my passengers do not complain, I am sure they would be just as happy in a SI.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
