Now A Fellow Stagea Owner


Recommended Posts

Guest Miss_Nismo

Hi all

My Stagea has arrived in Adelaide complied and ready to go - putting it through regency this Wednesday.

I'm sure Pawley and I will have lots of questions in the near future, but look forward to meeting more Stagea owners in the future.

What a tuff car though!!! I am really impressed now that I have one in the flesh.

Mel

Nice car!!

I've also recently bought one ('99 S2) - I live in Adelaide but bought it from a dealer on the Gold Coast.

Looks very similar to yours (white) but doesn't have the grey strip round the sides and back. That grey strip actually looks pretty cool.

Good luck with it - and enjoy - they're an awesome car!!!

Congrats, Mel!

Good to hear you're happy with the purchase, and you'll see it only gets better as you notice all the little detail things in the car that make the ownership experience great. Stuff like the little storage compartments and the extra cigarette lighter socket in the boot, the fold-down seats with the handy handles(!), multi-adjustable driver's seat, reclining rear seats, etc.

Did yours come optioned with the luggage blind and net, and self-closing boot?

Hi Mel,

Congrats on the stagea

great car perfect for the growing family and import lover

you wont be disappointed

you'll be pleased to know your old baby (R32) has had alot of attention lavished on it.

we just recently had the car dyno'd after replacing the box and making a few other adjustments and the car is putting out quite some impressive power now

Enjoy your new car, as I love mine

Hi Krissy - didn't know you had a stagea as well! Gee we must have the same taste in cars!!!

Glad to hear my old girl is doing well, I do miss that car immensly, what figures did it pull if you don't mind me asking? The most I got out of it was 178rwkw running at standard boost but with the intercooler and exhaust.

i used to be on PGA as well (a few years ago)... until my N14 was stolen and written off :(

i havnt been satisfied with any other cars ive had since...Untill the Stagea came that is ;):P:spank::ninja::D :D

...maybe its a NISSAN thing?

sorry forgot to reply to the rest

The exhaust had to be replaced from the cat bak as it was full of carbon and the cat was blocked,restricting the flow. We also put a 25 box in. We retarded the ignition timing put my old boost guage on and bleed 10psi into it and it pulled 203rwkw on the dyno (272hp). Were planning for later on down the track upgrading to an aftermarket computer, but for the time being were happy with it.

Don't worry she's in good hands..

Good luck with your stagea

top choice in car

203 really! that's awesome! had no idea there was any problem with the exaust let alone the fact that the cat was blocked that's not good - glad you found it looks like it was causing some serious restrictions. I had the boost up for about a month when i first bought the car and it loved it!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
