I dont know, I am undecided but as far as it looks to me,

- behind the rear door its too short, but the doors look OK.

- the roof only has 1 sunroof no 2

- JP normally make kits for cars like cimas, celsiors, centuries, glorias etc. VIP's not wagons.

- Proportions look f**ked up

Holy shit though!!, check out that interior, that deep, deep paint and those wheels - they rock. Might not be a Stagea, but as a fellow waggoneer, I dips me lid. :thumbsup:

Wholy Crap Nick yours is High!! No offense but MAN you could drive that thing along the beach on fraiser!

But mmMMmmMMmm love that dark green colour, that and the dark blue, like SK's, bloody nice!!

About that VIP stagea -

guys its a junction produce kit on a toyota crown wagon... those are factory up-spec crown headlights (with the chrome backgrounds) and front end, not S1 stagea... compare the size of the main headlight to the amber fog light - with the stageas there is a much bigger difference. look at the bonnet and shape of the grille, not stagea at all. The whole headlight is the wrong shape, hey.

that car is pretty well stock except for a lip extension and ride height, im pretty sure. Oh, and BMW Z3 guard vents.

Saw these in japan. Save for some mercs, this would be the finest waggin you could ever want to be seen in. Except for all of our own little bits of work in progress...

Speaking of work in progress... heres mine!

cant wait to get rid of some height... will be at the local car show 26th august. will have the kit from chris (AMS) by then, which means i can get the exhaust done, finally get one of SK's whiteline kits. Then, the scissor doors, and its DONE!!

nice stageas guys and contragulations mcnamg, welcome to the ever growing wa stagea club :sick:

we got 3 silver ones now on the forums in perth :D

6 stageas cruisin in perth will be sweet when we all get sorted out >_<

Thanks its been a long time coming for me but I cant wait to go crusing in the beast.

Will be cool to to go on a cruise and line the three silver stags up together for a few happy snaps thats provided that mr gtst doesnt mind us taking his mrs for a stagea threesome :D j/k

Yeah I know, I did a quick measure one day and it was 400mm from wheel centre to guard, so it neads AT LEAST 2 inches (~50mm) drop. Problem is, I have a sneaking suspiscioun that my second turbo might be on its way out, so the SK suspension will have to wait a bit longer again...

When I decided the Stagea was the car for me, it was always going to be either dark green, dark blue (like SK's) or dark red (like Chris' old car).

A couple of pictures of mine at a local skyline owners meet - there was a nice S15 there too - mine was the only car there with unicorns - still a very rare sight in the UK - also notice the sunshine!

AND yes I know mine needs dropping by about a foot too! Before you guys mention it - it's on the list :)

Here's mine :thumbsup:

Pretty much stock - got a shift kit installed today tho!! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has an auto!

Didn't go overboard on shift harshness - so the gear changes are still very smooth (dont notice 3rd to 4th change) but very instantaneous!! yay!!

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
