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.....

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.....

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
