Hey people,

been looking for something with a bit more room to carry diving equipment, surfboards, immigrants and things like that as the skyline doesnt carry them very comfortably, specially with any form of passenger. So im thinking a stagea is the way to go.

The only problem is, i need to sell my skyline first before i can really start looking for a stagea :w00t:

So hopefully all goes to plan and i manage to sell the skyline.

and if you know anyone that is looking for a skyline, let them know :D

Im in adelaide, and if anyone wants to see my skyline here is the link:

car for sale thread here

Sorry if this seems off topic to be in the stagea section, but there were people complaining that you had run out of things to talk about, so thought id just post this :O plus the quicker it goes, the quicker i get a stagea and who wouldnt want to help another future stagea owner :devil:

Thanks

(hopefully a future stagea owner)

mate thats a nice 32. Good luck with the sale, hope you end up getting a decent stagea. there is one for sale for fairly cheap in the for classifieds, and S1. Very affordable.

PS damn another one! i was hoping these things would stay i lot rarer and more exclusive for a lot longer...

Do what I did, trade yours in when you buy a stag, and sluggish, mine had a lot more get-up-and-go than my skyline had :wave: BUT mine was very heavily modified when I bought it, which helps :wave:

Good luck on the search!

Oh and manual ftw!

My Series 2 just got a bit better today with the split dump pipe and a full 3" hi-flow exhaust. It has a nice note to it now, and feels a bit smoother through the revs. Not having had a 33, I dont have much to compare it too, but I like the practicality of the Stagea and the fact that there they are much rarer than the now ubiquitous Skylines. Now its got the sound to go with the looks too, which is good. P.s. If you want to get a bit more squirt off the line, go the manual, but the tiptronic is just as good once you get going - The tiptronic is great through the twisties. :P

Wont somebody answer the man's questions??

Here goes: the boot is 94cm at the strut towers, 138 at the widest, 80cm high and 110cm from the back of seat to tailgate. If you lay the seats down then you effectively double the length - just perfect for transporting immigrants.

And now for two questions of my own....

what does FTW mean?

Goldzilla - what the heck is that up your exhaust?

FTW = For The Win/World, i.e. basically proclaiming to be the best of whatever...

The thing in the exhaust is the restrictor, but I've lost the grub screw for it so never have it in anyway... It feels strangled when you drive it with the restrictor in and didn't provide any fuel savings, so after the first week I never bothered to put it back in.

Thanks for that,

Doesn't seem big enough for what I was thinking so im sticking with the current arrangement.

Was think of a better way of moving my kart than a trailer, it will go down to nearly 120 wide, but thats about it and still 25cm too wide.

HAHA, im sorry, id like to think they will stay fairly rare for a while aswell, maybe i'll try find one localy :).

Id love a manual, but we'll see how the funds go :P

also, can the guy that rang me that was interested in a trade pm me? (i forgot who it was :P )

If no-one tries to see how many bodies they can fit into a stagea, i sure as hell will! :) and i'll get pics aswell :D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
