^obviously don't read here enough

the sale fell through

to be honest choosing a stagea to be a drifter when you already have two cars seems like you're making hard work for yourself grant, but at the same time it's bloody cool in my eyes.

no one seemed to complain and say it was a dumb idea in this post..

from what i understand grant has some pretty decent power mods planned.

i don't really get why people need to give their 50c every time grant makes a post though? there's other threads with people putting 20x7 (offset not mentioned) chromies on their stagea and people just go on their merry way and answer the question!?

ahh well

i read your post again and it does sound pretty silly, u think u are the only one who bought it to be a high performance car. How about spend less on visual/show parts and buy some engine mods. You mean u want yours to "look" like a high performance car. Ive spent about 4 times the price of my stagea again on performance mods and havent even touched the rims or any bodykits or stuff that doesnt make it faster, or perform better. RBNT and rb26stagea have done the same so i dont know how u can think your lightly modded rb25 is the only performance built stagea.

i agree with rb26stagea your opinions do come across as confrontational

i hope this doesnt offend im just stating my opinion

and i said track car i believe..as in drive on teh track and not a straight line

do i need to post my mod list?

300-350hp is plenty for my application which is my goal

The only thing not done is the turbo installed....

and i neither have put a body kit on it

but 9inch wide wheels to help it grip in the front better

But you guys are building it slightly different

your building it as a fast straight line car (from waht i can tell)

Im building a drift car....two different worlds

i dont need the power yall do.

and forrester stuff like i promised

this was in no way of an attack, or witty way to f**k with you guys

i was genuinely wondering about it

and unique

2 or 3 people in the stagea section spending that much cash on their stag, puts them in the same league as me, rare apparently

no worries Grant i must admit i havent been regulary visiting the stagea forums for a fair while and only knew bits and pieces (and heard u sold it at one stage). Ive been on these forums since the first couple of stagea owners and i think terminal is one of the longest members on here still with his car, the rest have sold up and moved on. I joined way back in october 04 and had the car for 2 weeks before i did the rb26 conversion and the snowball has gone from there. Ive had many usernames over the time due to the moderators in another section and some workshop issues but thats all in the past and they dont want to let me forget it lol.

jasevr4 i thought forums were about having opinions? sorry if i dont read this forum like a bible and know every single millimetre of detail :)

zo are you going to tell all the guys with chasers and other 4 doors that drift, and build them that they arent sports cars as well?

Its a Sport wagon

not a ford escort wagon

or a festiva

And i disagree with the travel distances

I have constently put 2-3,000 km a month on my cars

there are MANY 4 doors and wagons (forester anyone?)

that are built to be race cars

many

Do not mention the (f) word.

My Stag is a virtual stocker. The S13 is the highly modded drifter.

I read somewhere that Nissan built the Stagea to combat the inroads the turbo Legacy was making on sales in Japan.

Have you ever seen a race Legacy?

At what level Hugh?

Because I've seen a lot of Legacy's, WRX hatches, Foresters used as club rally cars and as club circuit cars, and on just the track only Stageas and Legnums too..

each to their own

horses for courses

different strokes for different folks

etc etc

keep at it Grant me boy!

and no, you cant groom me for online 'chat' sessions :laughing-smiley-014:

As a "touring wagon" with style, functionability and a bit of grunt. Remember I got rid of my Forester caus it was the worst vehicle I ever bought. I bought the Stag so we could be a Nissan SSS family. Stagea, Skyline and Silvia. We also have a Patrol.

I think the reasons Stageas are not seen much as rally cars is that they are too heavy and if bent cost a motza to repair.

    • 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  
    • 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
    • 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.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
