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

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
