i'm looking at a 98 to 2000 model stagea and just wondering if a babies car seat can be fitted to the rear seat? thanks

Absolutely! AFAIK, it's compulsory that child restraint anchorage points are fitted to a car as part of the SEVS compliance process, and my car has them in the roof.

Quite a few of the owners here have kids and bought a Stagea for this reason, given their versatility over a Skyline.

There is also holes for the restraint bolts behind the seats but no bolts (you can pull them out of the roof if you want, or just buy extras)

The reclining rear seats made the stagea one of the easiest cars I have ever fitted a baby seat to.

lets put it this way.

you will be able to fit 3 baby seat of any size. Can still fit 3 fulsize prams and shopping and a small luggages. PLUS this is FYIO and FYEO!!

I take my 2 & 5 year olds in the S2 Stagea & they love it (the 2 year-old says "Go Daddy's new taaah" every time I take off from the lights).

BUT, there's one small drawback - if you have the front seats all the way back, as I do, there is very little footroom for kids sitting in child seats.

Other than that it's the perfect family truckster.

That doesn't sound too unusual; should be plenty around. I think silver & leather is the rarest combination in the common colours...

They're not real clear photos, but they make the point.. The Stagea is the perfect family car, there is bucket loads of space in the back even with the Bertini Pram.

The best feature is the reclining seats and the flatness of the seats so you can fit the bay seats up to the edge, near the door, without the seat swab pushing them (baby seats) over at a funny angle. Since these photos where taken the centre baby seat has been turned to face forwards and it still fits ok.

I had a look in the back when I was pulling out the sat nav system and there are 2 cargo bolt holes behind the back seats but no child anchor points.

And we have 3 baby seats in the back quite regularly (our two (10mth and 2yr) and our baby sitter's 3yr). Lots of room for the big people in the front and the little ones love trying to get balloons out the rear sunroof!

Cheers, Greg (Cheryl's husband!)

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
