The AR-X is the sporty off-road model, similar to the Subara Outback, and the 25T or whatever is the standard model. the AR-X has higher suspension and the flared guard things. not a fan of that model, but the 3.5L V6 6spd model is looking mighty fine in a few years time.

Ok that's why it looks like a subibus, cause it's the offroad one. Yeah I've checkout out the V6 one online and they're nice. My mates got the v35 with twinturbos and that engine is very tough, can wait to see it at wakefield on Wed. :(

I 've seen these in the flesh and yes the plastic guards dont do much for it - very XC volvoish.

The rear door has a two way opening system - another Stagea innovation. Not that this was the first time this idea was invented, just that it looks like someone actually thought about it before slapping the car together.

The picture doesnt give the dash the credit that is due, it is very creamy...very yum.

That flap on the top of the centre console opens up and the tv/dvd screen pops up.

The price has come down significantly since it was last advertised for around $50k

There you go, do you know about the tiptronic? Would be nice to retrofit to a series 2 if it's 6 speed.

The TV's screen is similar to the v35 then.

Just wondering, are the 35-series Stageas ready for compliancing & registering in Australia now? This SEVS thingie is just making me very confused.

Or is that Stagea AR-X a personal import?

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
