I've always loved Stagea's, but only seriously considered owning when family commitments arrise, i'm 18 now so hopefully thats a long time down the road.

Anyway today i now want one, i want one over my R33, i've found myself looking at these images countless times to day, and posted them in other threads feeling it was my obligation to share such pictures.

Will do, i could look at these pics all day, it's weird i've never had a car... i dunno, i'm forever seeing cars i like and feel i'm never content, but it's a different thing between actully thinking about a prefered car and wanting one. I want to build a Stagea like that one day =)

Ask Brad, aka CruiseLiner, he's spent like ~$20k and upwards on his RB26 RS4.

IF you want a RB26, DONT buy an RS4, buy a 260RS, they come with a RB26 and HEAPS of other stuff, and is a much better base for BIG power compared to a RS4.

So buy a 260RS ~$30k, add $7k to $10k for the kit and volia! It still does not make it a GTR wagon but, it will always be a Stagea :D

Jeez, people say putting gtr badges on gtsts is gay. I wouldn't do it myself, but at least it's a skyline.

The gtr34 front on the stagea looks good, but seriously, the gtr badge makes it look like the most riced up pos in the world.

If you do it, don't do the badge.

The badge is part of the grille, which is part of the front bar, so why remove it and make a mess of the bar?

Id keep it on there. Its not like your ADDING a badge... your just not REMOVING it... so you can get away with it.

Hmm i'm tossing up with the badge, GTR badges are shit on GTS-T's becuase there trying to make it look like somthing it's not a grt of that gts-t model. Where on a Stagea the gtr badge isn't trying to make it look like something it's not, i mean if there was a genuin GTR stagea it would be a different story. It's like running a differnt nissan badge i guess, i see teh GTR badge as teh Ulitmate nissan, and if you built a ulitmate Stagea, with gtr front end like that and if it had a rb26 in it, also with the 4wd i'd say it's GTR badge worthy. I dunno thats my two cents.

On a different note, i'm really annoyed, i was quite content with my current car and thought it would do me for the next few years. I mean i always said i want somthign faster, beter handling, rarer, so obviosuly i always thought GTR, and said yah give it 4-6 years and i'll own one. But now i'm not content at all with my car, i've put a picture of that Stagea on my desktop and it keeps looking at me. I think of the ability to put by guitar amp in the back, and not just my small amp i can fit my whol stack in. And if i got a tow bar (allthough i wouldn't want to tow with it) i'm sure i coudl use a small 200Kg trailer, with my dirt bike on it =)

I wish i never saw these pictures..............

They only thing i wish a Stagea coudl acheive, actully i dunno if it would look any good, is a Stagea with stove lights. Where someones taken teh time to fabricate skyline lights into the back. Do these pictues exist anywhere.

Seen it done on a Pulsar, so im sure it could be done with a Stagea. You could only get away with it if you had the 34 front though. But then, theyd HAVE to be 34 taillights, which measurement-wise, would fit, its just a matter of the custom fab youd need to do. Would definitely complete the C34-R34 Wagon transformation though... And would DEFINITELY confuse a lot of poor bastards following you. Seeing that you would have to remove the stagea badg for the bodywork... would you leave it off, i wonder????

I'll defently search for it, kinda keen to read up on Stagea's anyway =) now that i dont' have anotehr HSC exam till friday i'll get into it.

It's been 3 days since i've seen those pics and still i keep looking at them, i made my mate download them =) i've never had a car grown on me so much. Just the thoght of getting my amp in the back and towing a dirt bike make it so attractive as well :)

hmmm simon have a think about that one... the MASA front end being the R34 front end? So hence both your options being the same thing? Ahh

Maybe I'm just confused - terrible day ;)

Anywho - Goodluck with the Stag! Do something wild, I know I will be once I get my hands on another ;)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
