Maybe this should be a new topic?

Why did you REALLY buy a Stagea.?

Do you want to drive a stocker?

Do you want to drive a better looking stocker.?

Do you want a Stealth with 200 awkw?

Do you only LOVE Nissans?

As Professor Julius Somner-Miller said, "WHY IS IT SO"

IS it all EGO EGO EGO?

Have we really run out of things to say?

Some soul searching required to keep this topic going.

And I fink mi tipein is gettin batter..

Hmm, I bought my Stagea because I'd wanted a Skyline for YEARS, but they're so common now that it's almost ridiculous, and buying an R32 now is a bit more of a gamble due to the age they're hitting now. Seeing as my R32 (if it ever eventuated) was gonna be a four-door anyway, why not get something even more unique with the benefit of wagon space, ATESSA and a half-a-litre more engine capacity.

Also, I bought a Stagea because it's pretty much the ultimate street sleeper!

Maybe this should be a new topic?

meh why not, I mean everyone else has started topics for no reasons lately, must be a new craze :devil:

Why did you REALLY buy a Stagea.?

I had 1 R33, that had been flogged and was in desperate need of a gearbox rebuild and/or engine rebuild.

The stagea appeared at the right place, right time, right price. I was getting married and the crapped out skyline was going to be needing some big bucks to keep it going, so why not swap a 178rwkw crapped out R33 for a ~200awkw awd?

Do you want to drive a stocker?

No

Do you want to drive a better looking stocker.?

No

Do you want a Stealth with 200 awkw?

I want more than 200awkw, that is for sure!

Do you only LOVE Nissans?

Basically, but there is enough Cy love for everyone!

It had thew space I needed for a family and the power to boot, did I need to think about to too hard, no.

I dont think I have........ have I? I wonder sometimes, in string theory it states that a string propagating in flat 26-dimensional spacetime with coordinates Xm(s,t) can give rise to four different quantum mechanically consistent string theories, depending on the choice of boundary conditions used to solve the equations of motion. The choices are divided into two categories:

A. Are the strings open (with free ends) or closed (with ends joined together in a loop)?

B. Are the strings orientable (you can tell which direction you're traveling along the string) or unorientable (you can't tell which direction you're traveling along the string)?

There are four different combinations of options, giving rise to the four bosonic string theories shown in the table below. Notice in the table that open string theories also contain closed strings. Why is this? Because an open string can sometimes join its two free ends and become a closed string and then break apart again into an open string. In pure closed string theory, the analog of that process does not occur.

The bosonic string theories are all unstable because the lowest excitation mode, or the ground state, is a tachyon with M2=-1/a'. The massless particle spectrum always includes the graviton, so gravity is always a part of any bosonic string theory. The vector boson is similar to the photon of electromagnetism or the gauge fields of any Yang-Mills theory. The antisymmetric tensor field carries a force that is difficult to describe in this short space. The strings act as a source of this field.

PS. You can tell the people who either dont work, wont work or are ripping the boss off by posting during working hours.

'sif I care! funny that, after 9yrs with the same company I dare 'em every week to sack me (they can too, easily, with the new workplace laws).

............ hen you dont care anymore whats the worst that can happen?

Now _____> on that string theory................... :(

so... should this stagezilla/cruiseliner thing even be mentioned, or would he get in trouble for this? I mean, i knew, but didnt think it should be openly discussed...

Cy?

No it can be discussed, but when someone says one thing, others are bound to jump in and say, "No no no, that is not what happened, blah blah blah..." and I dont want it to end up with me having to moderate posts or users.

So it was just a pre-emptive way of stopping that, keep it to PM's and then I dont have to worry bout anything :(

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
