1. the fact that no one knows wtf they are :) (no cop attention)

2. so versatile, can fit anything and everything in it.

3. the leather and dual sunroofs

4. tuneability

5. what other wagons besides a 300c look as cool as a stagea?

umm a Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 hands it to Stageas with a stick in the looks department.

No offence but you can't argue with that:

2.5L twin turbo 4wd to boot too, and from what I've read a better car to drive, handling ( has AYC like an Evo), Interior is far superior, blah blah

^^notice he didn't use the rear shot?

:pwned:

Yeerrr your riggght it makes me what to loose my lunch instantly... mate suck my balls.

This is infinately better

Pffft

They are both wagons.. so it's harder off the bat to look good. To say that a stagea is in a different league when considering the rear is a joke.

FW bias < RW bias any day

It may have a slight fw bias I think that With the goodies AYC etc it handles great put suspension on and your laughing. Not to mention WRC prefer a fw bias but thats getting waaay off topic. Don;t fool your slef with your wagons rw bias... what are you going to go sliding in a 4wd ?

Anyway. An importer who has driven both has said that the mitsu is a better drive and HANDLES better.

this is a Stagea section conrad, not a Legnum section

wtf kind of response are you after?

after all, your opinion and someone elses opinion wont necessarily = the same opinion.

personally I think the legnum sucks goat coch, but what I think obviously doesnt matter, does it?

this dealer you spoke of, did he/she discuss with you the expansive/expensive problems Legnums have with their tranny boxes? mild mods to the Stagea, such as a higherflowing turbo (how they should have come standard!) and swaybars with big meaty shock absorbers, would definately change this dealer friends opinion. 100% guaranteed.

but meh, so what. opionions count for nothing

Dude, how about a nice cold drink of chill the f**ck out?

Opinions are like arseholes buddy, everyone has one, and some people like to show theirs on the internet.

I know I do, but it doesn't mean you need to kick it for me :pwned:

Dry ur eyes princess, not everyone is gonna agree with you on everything.

The question was put " what other wagons besides a 300c look as cool as a stagea? " so I answered.

I'm a Nissan man... though lets face it there Are better looking wagons, and that was the farking question. Opinions are well opinions... but if we took an aggregate collections of votes on which was more aesthetically endowed then you'd have the Leggie come out on top 90%. Just face it.

That's great that you like stageas (they are great cars).. and the fact that their looks make you feel giddy is ace, enjoy it.

Standard they are better handling cars.. that's what I've heard.. so I won't take it as gospel. But it's reason enough to warrant thought.

Aftermarket... well... likewise... how much money do you wanna spend at both?

Apologies if you took it as kicking you.. I was just saying I couldn't disagree more. Suck my balls was more figure of speech, it didn't translate obviously.

You used the vomit icon when comparing the rear end and when I post a pic of both up.. I think it's clear for all, that besides that they look bloody similar because they are both a farking wagon.. you couldn't call either of them far superior from each other... buts that's all arseholes/opinions.

I just took the your approach as not even seeing the picture.

That said. I didn't want to start a debate on which car you can jerk off to more.. I'll save that for another time and thread.

The First question remained, and I simply said yes I think there are other contenders.

true 'dat.

I guess we all have our reasons for owning "enter brand name/type here" said vehicle.

I for one wanted a skyline for the rb25 powah but a) couldnt fit (too tall) and b) need room for pram and kids.

stagea was the obvious choice. on a budget too (ie under 20k), couldnt find anything else at the time that offers the same or better "bang for buck"..... if only I could get a 3.0l twin turbo Supra wagon !!!

legnum's have only been recently ADR compliance approved, they wern't an option when a lot of the lads here in this sau stag section got their stagea's.

Yeah look, the stagea is a great practical car that has far more performance than anything local.. and your right we do each have our own differences. I'll leave it there to not further rumble the nest.

Oh and damn you must be tall to not fit into a skyline

Supra estate.. lol.

personally I think the legnum sucks goat cock

lol

my thoughts exactly

so your 12.

ah ok.

f**k some people need to chill out :laughing-smiley-014:

i bought a stagea, but not cos of the looks. you can only get so much from a car

haven't got the bastard yet, but i'm hoping i'll like the ability to chuck my DH bike in the back (hopefully.. without taking the wheels off ....), the ability to go on sick holidays with lots of swag :lol:.. and still have fun in it...

I like mine cause its the only RED one Ive seen yet. [edit] In a Series 2 I mean

Oh yeah, there's the Leather interior, dual sunroofs, and the mirrors fold in when you lock it. I am a simple man with simple needs. I love it.

*rush's off to toilet for "quiet time alone*

and yes, I am 13

haha...

As for conrad, I think its a little unfair your comparing kitted cars in your pics, to a stock as a rock s1 stagea.

As for what I love about mine -

[s2] The woodgrain

[s2] Steering wheel shifting (ton of fun)

Leather seats (we've had this argument before, I like em' :thumbsup:)

Dual Sunroofs

Turbo spool just sounds awesome

It feels bulletproof

After driving a friends Sr20 180.. realised just how smooth it is

:) around a corner in the wet

And just the room inside, I won't have to sell it when I start a family :thumbsup:

      V37 Suspension change

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
