I like it Rudi, something different/unique. Do you have a black roof? I couldn't tell from pic but it would look mad with wrapped gloss black roof

yep, wrapped black gloss roof, thats why i got the bonnet plus the vent to let the heat out. :yes:

All you need is a big black f*ck off takeros wing with a whale front bar and you'll be set!! :D

Also, needs moar nismo.

Looks great! The grille needs some doing though.

cheers, maybe a mixed grille and a beer? LOL :cheers:

Took the stag camping, had a bit of trouble getting into the spot, shes a little low and stiff. Had her balanced on 2 wheels. Defiantly raising her next time...

So I joined this forum specifically to come here and tell you all what beautiful Stageas you all have. I have never read through 112 pages of pure jealousy before!! I only wish I Could have a Stagea here in the US. But until I find a way to get one, I shall just live vicariously through all and contribute what I can!

Cheers!

Are there no avenues for a personal import?

Honestly my friend,

I wouldn't be sure where to start as far as what I would need to bring one over, I know the US has the most obsurd import regulations. My R34 that I had was a complete nightmare, and as such I was never able to drive it for more than a year without have to re-register it to skate around emissions requirements, if it doesn't have the "correct" diagnostic port, they won't even test it. And also for me as of late, money has been very tight. I found one in Canada, a Black Autech 260RS. I would kill to own it, but they want A LOT for it. so until I find one cheap enough that I can afford to buy it, I figured I can just share My Stagea love here!! :) not unless you all want to send me one piece by piece through the post :P LOL

here's the link for the one I found, http://www.tyeeimports.com/jdm-cars-for-sale/japanese-import-car.asp?ProductID=897&Title=1998 -Nissan-Stagea Autech 260RS'>http://www.tyeeimports.com/jdm-cars-for-sale/japanese-import-car.asp?ProductID=897&Title=1998 -Nissan-Stagea Autech 260RS They are asking $13K Canadian, roughly $12K US. A little rich for my blood, plus US banks would never give a loan for a car that old :P

You have a slightly skewed point of view on the pricing of the Stagea.

If a 260rs could be had for that kind of money in Australia; wow. Double it; and then some.

Oh My! Well Then I need to stop being so poor!! :P I didn't know they were that costly in Australia!! Even more respect to you guys for working so hard!!

Everything is relative in each different country, not judging your own financial situation.

Welcome to the forum, it will be interesting to see whether more Stageas make it to the USA given the changes to import regs.

Ànd we would kill for the pricing you guys get on you're cars!

Luxo cars often cost double if not more in Aust compared to the US.

I know I'd jump into a E55/63 wagon if I was over there!

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
