Hey guys,

Havn't seen much of me in the last 6 months to 1 year and unfortunately don't know too many of the new members that have joined recently. For those that don't know who I am or which one my car is, I have been involved with Stagea's since back in the days of 05 when I first got mine (was my first car). From the first moment I set my eyes on a Stagea in 04, I knew that was the car for me.

I had heaps of fun and enjoyed to be involved with this forum. I want to say thank you to all those helped me through the questions that I have had in the past and all of your input was helpful. To a degree, I wish I had all the resources that new Stagea owners have now but for those that were there for the first "what the hell is this" or "what the hell does that do" or "how the hell do we do that" threads, it was fun learning things from nothing.

The Stagea has taught me a lot not only about cars but also about driving. They are a FANTASTIC car and honestly, I feel sad in having had sold mine. If I could have, I would have kept it but I am certain that many of you on this forum know what I mean when I say I had to sell it due to other financial commitments.

Now, for those interested in what happened to the car on Saturday it boarded the spirit of Tasmania and went down to Tasmania. I know the car is going to love it down there with the cold intake temperatures and winding roads. The final price it was sold for was $17,000 AUD with 1 years rego and no RWC. The car was sold as is with EVERYTHING on the car. Interestingly, I was asked if anything broke over the 3 years I had it, and after thinking for a while actually, the only issue I had was the cracked exhaust manifold and coilpacks. So I am sure its got many more km's/years left in it before anything will go wrong.

This was the car for those that don't know: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/19...l&p=3541817. Australia's first Series 1.5 and as far as I know, one of the most modified RB25 Stagea's in Australia. Not just engine wise, but the whole car. I worked it out as having spent over $20,000 on modifications plus the cost of the front end... oh well! It was fun!

To the new owner, if you read this, please take care of her :whistling: . She was my first, and I was her first to pull her apart and replace bits, I am sure you can understand why she means so much to me, hehehe

was a very nice car. and those wheels, oh my god!

hope the new owner enjoy's it as much as alex did.

i had the chance of inspecting it when alex first had it for sale, and he was very helpful and pretty cluey about his car.

it was a hard choice for me to pick a stock one over alex's, but the new owner should, and will love it. f**king quick car for its size.

goodluck for the future alex, i know how it was when i sold my skyline, and i still see it at least once a week which totally sucks anus. so at least u wont run into it on the street, then u feeling all sad like lol.

cheers and goodluck dude

congrats & condolences alex, where abouts in tassie, theres a few on the nth west a few in L'ton and a few more in h'bt, wonder how long before it appears on the tassie spotto......tassie & turbo's good match

Ahhh its so sad seeing a car you've put so much effort into disapere around the corner never to be seen again (I know that pain). I saw your car for sale the day AFTER I put down a deposit on my Stagea, otherwise your car would be sitting in my drive right now, but I'm in the eastern suburbs too, so you might have caught glimpses of it from time to time.

Mind you, the Evo would certainly be putting a smile on your dial.... company car, I want your boss!

Company car.

Still saving for a house

WHOOO HOOOO !!

thats the way dude, thats the way

me old man test drove a Monaro 6yrs ago, to get on the company car scheme, got held up and carjacked at (shot)gun point

needless to say he didnt buy a Monaro =p

shotgun in the face

robbery of wallet, phone and test car

test car dealer shat himself and almost lost his head

old man did what he was told to do, and I guess they *may have said "dont buy a monaro"

:D

I think 4 out of the 6 blokes did 2yrs + for their efforts

Mind you, the Evo would certainly be putting a smile on your dial.... company car, I want your boss!

It's easy to get what you want when you are the boss hehe.

At least Alex managed to hold on to boost and AWD :/

Don't worry, I had RWD for a little, it was great but AWD is so much better. Plus, trust me, you CAN slide around an AWD just as well as a RWD.... :D

I am definitely going to consider an M35 as one of my future cars though, or if they make a 36 that would be even nicer.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
