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!

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 :(

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
