hey art... welcome to the forums...

i'll move the thread to the stagea section of the forum, as i'm sure the lads in there would be keen as mustard to chat to ya about your car.

welcome to the n00b pom!! Where abouts in Pomgolia are you from?

post photo's of snow on a stagea! They are actually designed for it, but hardly any of us convicts have ever even seen snow, let alone driven in it.

PS. LOL @ the volvo in the background. Do you ever try and get into the wrong car by mistake?

Holy Snapping Duckshit Batman!

Jeez d00d, when I asked for photo's I didn't mean go out at 11pm and take them. Thanks anyway but I feel bad now :)

So, onto the stag, is it stock? We seem to get a few blow in's from up your way. How comon are they in the Land Of The Great Unwashed? (:) )

*edit* As for us being out in the sun for too long, You guys are the ones that sent us all down here as convicts. If it were us, we would have left all the convicts there and headed down here ourselves!

Welcome English!

What I wouldn't give for Turbo-friendly ambient temps once in a while! I swear my car made 30% more power when It was in Sydney for winter...

I know the feeling. not looking forward to summer for the hot drives with climate control cranked up and the car struggling along all the time...

winter was so much fun.

Hey Art you're one of the few on here that gets to use the 'snow' feature a bit...does it work well?

I've tested my stagea on many wet roads and dirt roads and traction is unbelievably good - is it ok with snow?

on the topic of that stupid F&&king snow button !

I hate it cause every now and again it gets mysteriously turned on .. does it do damage to the tranny driving it around in that mode with not a snowflake to be seen ?

Yes it does.... and if left on for more than 3 days over 25 dgrees C, it will cause a rift in the space/time continuum, and we will all cease to exist!

Seriously, though, from what I have been led to believe, it can increase trans wear significantly, if used regularly with no snow. I could be wrong, I'm just the messenger!

well ceasing to exist is better for me than paying for a gearbox rebuild!

well I dont know for a fact how long its been on .. lotty drove from down south up so I am not

sure how the car felt to her! I only noticed it when I drove into work today.

I thought it just stopped the car from shifting into 1st gear and stopped it hitting hi boost?

it slurrs the shifts as well: inreased band wear, in theory...

lol oh is that a volvo in the background? I honestly thought it was an M35 (taillights kinda confused me I guess) :P

do you have to pay a lot of road tax on the stag-barge? all my relos in the UK are constantly complaining about how much road tax they pay.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
