^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.

yessir

i saw a grip one at Nikko one day

that beast was FAST

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
