We got ours about 7 months ago. We needed a reliable 2nd car, something that is practical, looks cool, has plenty of grunt when you want it, and is different.

We've got 2 young un's and I did a fair bit of research (thanks to you guys) and realised that the Stagea was just perfect!!.

We picked up a Series 2 with all the good gear, very genuine condition, with plenty of Dayz extras. Doing the exhaust was a great move, and its great on a trip.

There are a few in Canberra now, and its really cool seeing them getting around. :(

P.s. I know my avatar looks squished, but its very Van Goh!!

April 26th-ish 2006 I think I finally got it, purchased on the 26th of the 1st.

Left my run too late for 2 doors, need 4 now, glad to be driving such a great car.

Cheers

bought mine on 6th october 2004 to be exact (one of the first few owners on here with sydneykid and a few other guys) and have done about 2000km in it since that day :/ oh the joys of stuffing around with drivelines and engine combos :D 2 weeks into owning it i ripped the driveline and engine out to start on the conversion and god i cant beleive the amount of stuff ive learnt over the years. i bought it for daily duties and for less cop attention and the fact i had a dog and sedans were impractical with dogs. unfortunetely the ex-misses left and took the dog as well in dec 04 which made me think i could of just bought a gtr instead and saved all the dramas.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=52866&hl= thats my first post the day i bought it when i didnt know a damn thing about stageas except they were made by nissan :dry:

if i knew i was gonna have this many dramas i woulda left the bugger stock :O back in late 04 u mention u have a stagea and people just didnt have a damn clue, today i mention it and 90% of people know about them now which is a shame, the rareness is slowly going away

Imported a Series II R33 Skyline in mid 2002 but found it too impractical with a young son. Can't carry a thing in those things.

When Stageas became available, decided to trade in the Skyline for a Stagea so got the engine but with space - also got a Series II again (I sense a trend here)

I picked mine up on the 12 October 2005, so it's just under a year ago now...

Still happy - just wish I had some money to do more mods...

We're almost twins on both comments.

I was only thinking a couple of nights ago that I've had my stagea since feb last year, and apart from a service and fuel, I havnt had to spend a cent on her.I've been slowly making my way through many of the imports (2xR33,1xSoarer TT,2XIsuzu Gemini) as they are unbeatable value for money.The stagea is my atempt at being sensible and still having a car with some get up and go..she does the job well.

I always loved skylines and have wanted one for ages however due to family and needing a big boot for my daughters wheel chair I started looking at the Stagea 2 years ago. At the time we ended up buying a Territory the last year thinking that having one big car was enough we bought a runabout Fiesta which was just too small so I finally convinced the missus that the only option was the Stagea.

I bought my baby on the 5th of July and she arrives in fremantle for me to drive home on the 25th of this month

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
