so it would be a very nice car, but would it tick the pimp category. lol.

**goes back to corner to sit and think** oh yeah im still laughing at your "on her back" comment

Haha yeah that was a gem...

Mate it would definitely not tick the pimp category. More "boy racer" lol... That said, if i bought a GTR itd be a 32, and that one looks to be a very decent example. You may have to take a moment to be alone with your thoughts... and add up pros and cons. How much of the time would you be wanting to cruise around in a nice big comfy but sporty(ish) stagea, and how often will you want to be racing? You can get stageas going pretty quick.

i need to find someone with a modded stagea so i can have a ride in it. see what i could be working towards. any offers???

but yeah, the 32GTR doesnt have the sleeper looks, thats why i've loved driving my mini around. when you can take on a commodore and scare him lol.

There are HEAPS of perth stageas now, surely someone over there must have had some work done to theirs...

The stagea (an RSFOUR) im about to buy has 260kW at all four... should be pretty cool.

ha ha i know, im not allowed to offer for it remember lol.

ha ha i know, im not allowed to offer for it remember lol.

correct, lol. Forgot about that. Get meditating dude!

Thing with stageas is that you can go so many ways... You can throw some cash under the bonnet and get em quick, or just put a kit on it and get it looking racey, or you can go VIP style, or throw a massive stereo in them. You can turn it into anything you want, theres no limit except you mind and budget. I was just going to throw the kit on mine and leave it at that, with ta set of wheels. Then i had a nismo stripes for a while, now im going for performance, and i will probably go for a VIP style look to it in the end, i dunno.

i am definately leaning towards the Stagea. so many options with them its stupid lol. that was the benefit of that black one, rims and kit were already done. i was gunna head down the VIP style. lower it, and stereo. I need to cut back on fast car, till i get some points back ha ha. and stagea is already fast enough to get me in and outta trouble. lol.

i think i just sold a stagea to myself. lol. ok this next week im going stagea hunting. autowholesale have a red one. thats where ill start. well, next few weeks people, expect another stagea to be added to the perth clan.

My baby is modded slightly.. you can take her for a drive if you like...

I would import your own.. alot cheaper and room for mods..

you pay for something stock in perth @ 18k or import your own for 13/14k and that gives you $$$ for mods :(

ok this next week im going stagea hunting. autowholesale have a red one. thats where ill start. well, next few weeks people, expect another stagea to be added to the perth clan.

Do you mind keeping us (me :-) ) up to date ?? Coz I am going to start my hunting soon and it'll be really useful to know what is available now, etc.

Please :(

Wildcat says BUY THE SILVER ONE....ITS SEXY....ITS HOT...ITS PIMP and I LOVE IT :(

Good luck Heath...seriously though the silver one with autech kit is sexy as..i would buy it if 1) it wasnt for sale at autowholesale and 2) if i didnt already have my baby!!

Go get yourself a STAG..and keep us up to date champ :O

well F@#$ me. i leave my thread all nice on friday arvo and by sunday its turned to shit lol.

well thats gunna make thing a bit different. hmmm, do i head for the 32GTR or stick with trying to find another stagea???? any suggestions. that yellow one is nice, but the silver series 1 has sun roofs and leather interior. leather doesnt stain,,,(should have thought of that nympho) lol. oh yeah, the black ones suspension is stocko.

apparently they have a red one for sale, all kitted up with rims also. also has sun roofs i think. so maybe.

otherwise i might get them to slap on some rims and lower the series 1 silver one, and ill take that.

decision decisions.

I had the same question when I was deciding what car to buy - 32GT-R, 32 sedan or 34 sedan.

My decision ended up being influenced by the fact that:

* I wanna be able to leave my car ANYWHERE when I go out and not have to worry about it too much;

* I want minimal hassles from other road users, who can tend to be aggressive when they see a Skyline; and

* I want minimal hassles from the cops...

Buying a GT-R pretty much rules out parking on the street when you go out, and buying a Skyline can sometimes make you a target for the dickhead factor, or cops on an ego trip...

I like the fact that my car is pretty sleeper-ish, and the only things I'll do to it visually are wheels and lowering, and maybe a rear spoiler for somewhere to mount a camera. I'm pretty sure the loudness of the exhaust is borderline, but cops barely give me a second glance!

Do you mind keeping us (me :-) ) up to date ?? Coz I am going to start my hunting soon and it'll be really useful to know what is available now, etc.

Please :)

no worries mate. ill be posting up heaps on here as soon as I get it, no doubt about that.

oh yeah wildcat, i like that silver one, part from the wing hanging off the back, little to ricey for my liking. although wouldn't be to hard to change.

Goldzilla, you pretty much hit the nail on the head, with the reason why I'm gunna get a Stagea. lol.

I want this to be a driving car not one that I have to put in a lockable enclosure when I go out cause people will damage it for fun. My old mans a cop so I hear lots about people calling him to complain that their headlights have been smashed in, or they've been keyed. He reckons probly 60% of the calls are from owner of Jap Imports. Most popular 180 and 200sx, second skyline. The Stag doesnt even crack a mention.

^^^heheheh if you buy the silver one...ill buy the wing off you--am absolutely in love with the wing :)

ha ha. i was wondering if you were gunna ask that lol. hmmm what type of spoiler do you have. maybe they can be swapped.....

    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.    
    • Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?
