Fair enough on buying a property and not wanting debt.

And 4wd spinn through corners, hmmmmm I dont have that much power!

And here in qld it is 100mm min clearance so if the police do pull me over I am so screwed, but funnily enough I have only been pulled over once, the officer asked me what make and model it was and sent me on my way! Even had my "WAKE THE FREAKIN DEAD BOV" vent right beside a policeman and all he did was look over and smile and continued on his merry way.

I guess also police attitudes could be different out here in the sticks, rather than in the city, but still, there have been multiple times where I could have been hassled by them but never have been. I mean the car is so low that you can tell it is illegal, just be looking at it, but still, I guess I have been lucky :P

they probly thinking damn family wagon. lol. must be loaded with kids and toys and thats why its so low lol.

thats part of the attraction to the stagea rather than a skyline or other sports car. ive had a lot of hassles in the mini. lost count of the amount of times ive been pulled over. when i was on P's i used to average 2 to 3 times a week. so annoying. even driving sedately.

yeah that yellow one is nice, but i feel the series 1's are bit better looking (my opinion). and yeah the price of the yellow one is bit high.

whats the sorta price i should be paying. the had the black one advertised for 21k but nobady took it. theres another series 1 there with twin sunroofs and leather interior, no body kit or rims though. would be awesome to get the sunroofs.

oh my :P nice car....very sexy!!!!

everyone knows how i feel about that certain place, but i wish you all the best and please make sure you bargain and get a reasonable price cause i know what they want for that...and there is no way i would pay that much for it!!

Do they still have the funky silver one with the autech kit??? thats pretty sexy as well..but definatley overpriced!

Good luck and welcome --yeah another stag over here! ;)

I have leather and twin sunroofs :( it has a buttload of mods and it could be yours for $28k ;)

yes but you dont have a body kit. lol. also you in queensland, which would put my cost over 30k on road. cause would have to freight it over, unless you want to drive it, :(:P

I'll drive it over, at your expense? :P

And who needs a kit? If I did have one the side skirts would drag on the gorund ;)

ha ha ha, hmmmm. i still think it bit more than I want to spend at present. cheers for the offer though.

by the way, if i did pay for you to come over.... does that mean i have to pay for you to go back???? lol

;) of course :(

I'd go the black ANY DAY over silver but I have always LOVED black cars, my r33 was black, and then I turned into a mish mash of black, white, maroon & lime green, it was a BEAST! :P

yeah i love black cars, specially wagons, cause you can go black as tint on everything cept front two windows. looks awesome. harder to keep clean but sooooo worth it. why the mish mash of colours??? was it your practice drift car??? lol

my current car was yellow so will be a nice change.

i have looked at that car myself and noticed the paint seemed a little rough inside the doors on the right rear. I also think that that the cars they sell are way too expensive so make sure you really nut out a good deal. Because they are the only dealer in WA they charge more than what the cars are worth.

I have been watching the prices on the cars that they have been bringing in for the last 2 years and the prices have actually gone up and not down. Howver looking at the dealers in QLD the prices have dropped. Sea freight via intercoastal to perth is about $750. So if you can find a bargain in QLD then it may be cheaper.

Have a good read of the suspension thread if you are lowering the car heaps of good info and settings to get the best out of your new car.

Good Luck

i got a november 96 series 1 model from autowholesale (in Perth) for $18200 2 years ago exactly when they first got them. it had 120 000km i must admit but km's mean bugger all as i wouldnt beleive alot of these 50 000km ones at all going by the condition. mine was advertised for 21k as well and i bargained them right down. it had 17' rims, brand new tyres, cat back apexi exhuast, apexi lowered springs and apexi blow off valve. it was spotless and ran perfect too. i think they have infact increased prices and i cant understand why?? maybe they realise they are getting popular and people have little other option but to buy from them unless they buy one from over east or japan which is a risk in itself.

i wouldnt pay anything over 20k for a series 1 stagea auto personally as they can be imported for under 15k complied from what ive read on the forums and 5k extra is alot of saving if it happens to be a good cond one. remember that photos always make a car look good and they dont generally come in from Japan as clean as the pics make out from the imports ive seen.

if u wait for 6 months im sure there will be a certain brand new rebuilt rb26 powered stagea with bilstein/whiteline coilovers, upgraded swaybars, manual conversion, gtr diff/axles and brakes, and about 10k in other mods for a very reasonable price :w00t:

good luck in the search and hope to see u on a stagea cruise in the near future when we organise one :w00t:

ha ha the more i read the more I want to avoid buying from this place. lol. as you guys say they are a little over priced, however Ive had a look on carsales.com at QLD and NSW Dealers prices and they arent much better. average price is actually around 24k.

the car to see details is on there website autowholesale.com.au. do a search for stagea's and its the top one.

i have thought about importing one, or freighting one across from eastern states but have been burned once before with a car and now im a little weary.

cruiseliner.... what price do you determine as reasonable?????, and why six months???

Edited by SLO-N-STEDY
he'll be selling his, dude. Would be a very good buy. A koala with narcolepsy couldnt beat that thing for 'king of the sleepers'.

ha ha thats the best comparrison ive heard in a long time lol. yeah it sound freaken nice. but price wise I wonder what hes asking....... cause i would be interested, the hard part being the six months factor.

one of the guys over east is selling his stagea as well its pretty heavily modded will see if i can find the link also look in the for sale section on here there normally a few on the market at better than car yard prices.

I imported my stagea direct from japan and could not be happier. Considering that Autowholesale wants 24k for s series 1 and i paid 14k on the road and now have more $$$ for mods couldnt be better even if you negotiate down your still way further ahead. I save 5k and am using the extra funds to start my mods

ahhh!! dont tell him about jays! i want that one!

edit - cruise's stagea would be worth the wait if you can afford the $$$ bwud

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
