just picked up my new beast yesterday afternoon, cars stock apart from the DAYZ body kits...its a 1998 Nissan Stagea (Series 2).

Got some plans for it now :P

Cheers,

Corey

That is AWESOME! I want your rear bar :(

Looks lowered? Bodykit is completely factory though (well, Dayz factory) - the Dayz sideskirts, front bar and rear bar were all options. Got a dolphin front grille which isn't standard though (as some people already pointed out).

hey guys, got myself a Stagea about a month ago and thought it was about time i introduced myself here in the stagea section. i've just come from owning a r32 for the last 3 years and thought it was time for something newer and different, but still a RB nissan.

the car is a fresh import, 99 S2 auto, DAYZ kit, dual sunroofs, and all stock apart from the mags it came in with, which i plan to eventually change after i get it lowered.

here is some pics i took.

Got my Stagea a few days ago. Its a s2 with most of the options to increase luxury and reduce performance :domokun: Its got leather interior, xanavi unit, heated seats, cold area options, twin sunroofs etc. Its also got an autech (im pretty sure) front on it, but I dont what the rear bar is yet.. any ideas? Its also got a different spoiler to most I've seen with a brake light in it. The wheels are 17's and it has adjustable tein suspension (a nice bonus to find!) It also had a mystery button on the dash which after some fiddling turns out to be a 'tv works in drive mode thingo' button. *happy dance* Im trying to decide whether I should lower it a bit or not yet, curse you whoever came up the the speed hump idea.... Anyways, here's some pics!

It's a Prime Edition and this pretty much sums up why I like Primes:

5 years looking 3 months waiting... finally here!

Cheers guys I have spent countless hours being entertained by your posts & reading useful information. I don't think there's a better Stagea resource on the Internet (in English anyway!)

Regards,

DaveB

congrats on the rego from the brotherhood :D

First post here.

I've had a 97 Stagea RS-Four for about a year now:

R34 GT-R face with genuine aluminum hood, FRP fenders and bumper

R34 GT-R wheels

R32 Type-M calipers with slotted/drilled rotors

HID headlights (modified to fit non-HID headlights- the Xenon R34 headlights are $$$)

Cusco front camber arms

Cheap Ebay rear camber arms

Tein coilovers up front

Apex'i coilovers out back

Kouki taillights

HKS Super Dragger (quiet) exhaust and pod filter

Plans are 5 speed swap (got everything but the console, which I plan on ordering from Nissan)

FMIC

Down pipe, front pipe, test pipe

That's about it. This is my wife's daily, so keeping it rather simple.

Pictures of when I first bought it, I guess I need to take some new ones:

just a quick one....is it worth putting Car model or some thing up the top to say how many of each type of Stag there is eg.

34 Series 1

34 Series 2

34 rs260

M35 rs

M35 AR-X

M35 Axis

Or is this a pain in there arse to do?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
