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 ;)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
