Just throwing an idea out there.

I know this is different to almost all other car specific forums, but I think that we need a Stagea off topic section to ourselves, or for our section to be more loosely policed.

I find that I feel very comfortable in the stagea section and I really like the crowd we have in here. I think many people agree with me and that is why sometimes we get OT topics, because we dont want comments from general dicks in the real OT section.

The alternative to another section (like the classifieds) is just to be very loosely policed about what discussions go on in here.

Anyone else got an opinion on the matter?

I'm all 4 it. I also like our little community - almost like a family!

However, I've noticed that many of our threads are read and commented on by outsiders (ie the GD's that we are trying to avoid).

So how do we prevent them taking over the OT Section?

Man, are we cliquey or what?

Hey Dan/Ska are you able to make this idea a bit like a Members Only section?? Like the SauWA etc members sections...how they are hidden from non members... perhaps we could only open it to those with stagea's ??

I don't really think it has to be "exclusive" to us, it's alright to have the opinions of others once in a while too... If they do start to act like idiots and start causing trouble, then we could then deal with that appropriately when it occurs.

haha, good to see that I was on a winner.

we couldnt make it members only, unless, we start a "Stagea Club" where we all pay to be members, but then I doubt that because uhh, we are australia wide and organizing cruises would suck.

either a wasteland thread or another section, either way I think it could be the go for us.

I reckon it is a good idea, seeing as not a lot of the stagea guys here even know or look around the other area's of the site.

I think to start with a wasteland thread would be good, and I'll sticky it, and go from there? If a single thread is not enough for any OT disscussions, then we can look at making a new section?

Personally I think a wasteland thread will suffice, I mean it does for all the state sections, and NSW & QLD do have some post whores!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
