4. everyone thinking its a volvo ...yuckkk!!

5. can't do burnouts

6. mods are addictive...once you start..it bleeds your wallet

I just thought of a second and third point:

2. My wife owns it.

3. I'm paying for it.

4. She's paying me back with children etc..but then thats a good thing!

Dont get me wrong though i love my stag these are just minor things that i can easily live with!

I constantly get compliments from a range of people, older generation, kids in primary school, middle aged people, teenagers etc...

1: I have owned it for 12 months, and have only drove it 1 day!

2: Dunno what to buy first for my baby.

3: Only way to find out is to pull the bugger apart to see whatz already been done.

4: Dunno what to buy first for my baby!

3: too loud

5. fuel consuption of a 10L v12 at full throttle haha

6. i get more looks than just skylines i can tell u that :)

7. manual consoles cost too much

8. cant lower it enough

that is all...

What a bunch of whingers you lot are.

1. The only car better than a Nissan is another Nissan.

2 If you cant afford the petrol, buy a Dunnydoor and gas it

3 For $131/2k, on the road, insured, my 96 S1 is a f**king good buy.

4 As a stocker it handles better than any other wagon of its type and size.

5 As an everyday drive it is a pleasure and it has a HUGE cargo area.

6 If you want to be naughty, hit it! Red line is easy toachieve.

7 The only car I've had that is faster, was my RMR30. And that is because it did not have a speed limiter.

8 It seems that the common gripe is lack of time to do the things you want todo, just to make her better. I've got a DFA, Controller, Timer , Cold air Deflector and a Kenwood Head Set all ready to install but no time.

BTW it's pissing pickhandles here atm. God bless Tamborine, as we have no drought.

9 Useless info. The S13 should be ready by the end of the month. It's going to be a serious drifter. Not going to use the R30 totow it. Looking at a Patrol or Maverick diesel. So I don't need a tow bar for the S1.

10 Being a 66yo (actually 67 now) lets me enjoy life's little goodies all the more.

My main gripe is i cant get a replacement ECU for it.

2nd is probably weight

Lack of leather and a top class interior

Then rusty mirrors.

Maybe this place can lyten ya wallet?

ok just some skyline drivers are tools mostly the ones i know,

i asked my friend who has a silver S2 R33 why he bought it,

"so i can pull chicks and go fast" no interest in the car whatsoever.

then i said ''what you going to do to it, hi flow the turbo?"

he's like ''yeah yeah hi mount'' not knowing what i was talking about

just my whinge im sure most skyline drivers know whats going on

1. The engineer at nissan who designed the motor that controls the fresh air/recycled air flap - The pulsar and the stagea both went click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. Testicle clamp time for you buddy!

2. Trying to figure out how many different ways to hang the cargo net.

3. Son of the recycle flap engineer that designed the oil filter position.

1 i hate the standard brakes. ( slotted rotors on the way)

other than that i love my stagea i like driving it more then my skyline

i love that mine i factory rwd and does phat skids

it has black leather with seat warmers love that

love my xenon lights

and my wheels and it goes hard for a big car

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
