No offence to stagea owners, but i hate them...

THIS ONE IS AWESOME THOUGH... seriously bro, if i had more than $15 G's i would buy it, but i dont, so i wont disrespect the car by offering it... I cant believe it hasnt sold yet...

BEST STAGEA EVER

hrmm very very nice stag man, if it was silver and manual it would be absolutely perfect, how ever i wouldnt mind a tiptronic and you've got the dual sun rooves which is awesome :P 2 questions tho, whats the stereo like? (music is my life and i like a good stereo, the stag will be carrying my guitar amps and guitars)

and 2nd question does it have cruise control by any chance?

either way very nice car and i am very interested, and for your info i should be gettin and approved load within 6 weeks..... ;)

Peace, Bradd

21,900! If I had the money I would buy a 2nd Stagea...

Just to let you know guys, it costs atleast 7500 to get the parts from japan to do this conversion let alone the labour and paint. Plus the quality of the mods, and how much of a sweetheart Bryce is, this car is an absolutely steal.

I paid 23k, late 2006 for my 00' S2, (don't regret it one bit). Just letting you guys know how much of a steal this car is. And how Carazy (ooh car pun) Brycey is for selling this thing.

g'day mate, yeah the tiptronic works surprisingly well, i have never been one for automatic cars ( i converted my last car to manual because i just got fed up) but i haven't felt the need or want to convert this car, the box always seems to find the right gear for the right speed, when in tiptronic it reacts especially well and its just all round suited for the car.and plus, D for cruising tiptronic for fun :)

the sterio isnt too bad, pretty tricked up how you can play, pause skip etc etc on the touch screen, then it has the 6 stacker in the back which you;ll load up and not touch for months, but i have recently attached my iriver mp3 player to the head unit (it comes with aux jacks from the factory) and that has been working perfect :). the down side is that the factory speakers arnt too great on heavy/really loud music, so if i was going to keep the car that would be one of the things i would be changing - but in saying that, for normal/semi loud music they work perfectly, great quality etc, its just when you turn it up to 11 it gets crackely. but once again i havnt felt the need to change this because its not a huge deal, still goes up pretty loud but yeah.

PLENTY of room for anything you want to put in the back.

unfortunately no cruise control :O the brackets are there but the modual isnt. the guys in the stagea section were talking about this not long ago and after market units fit up pretty nicely, but yeah mate, no cruise control

cheers bradd :)

haha thanks mate :) yeah im losing a fair bit of money.. but i dont modify cars to make money! its all for the pleasure and the passion :)

the MASA R34 front end kit from japan would have been a cheaper road to go down looking back, but i think i would have got a second grade result. all parts on my front end are either factory R34 GTR parts or australian made fibreglass, nothing but the best quality!

this car is priced extremely reasonably - if i dont say so myself :D hahaha, but i know whoever buys it will love it to bits!

oh and its regular service was done this weekend (oil, filter, gearbox oil, transfer case oil)

:)

thats awesome brycey! 1 more question of thought of today at work however, is.... does the tiptronic have a 5 speed box or is it just the 4 speed?

and about the stereo thats all good, i may end up keeping my r31 anyways and cannibilising it which would mean having my big fully hektic stereo system.....or at the least i would grab the focal speakers out of it :P they're awesome

Peace

Bradd

i was the same mate, before i bought it i didnt think yellow was for me but it really suits the car ever since owning it i absolutely love it! and yes the neo and neo box is a big bonus :)

yeah all she really needs is lowering, even just some new springs would do the trick :)

hahah keep dreaming about that price mate :P :P

:P

that.... is.... HOT! ;) R34 GTR wheels would look sooooooo sweet on that

cheers man, yeah R34 GTR wheels would really set it off but i love the modena's :) very very quality wheel

Edited by Brycey

hahaha, not that there is many r34 fronted stags to compete with in the first place! :) cant wait to see yours painted up and finished :) hopefully you and mitch live near eachother - the 2 stags would make a good photoshoot!

black would be nice :) but im thinking silver maybe.. we'll have to see

Mitch just took ownership of the car, i already miss it enormously :D hope you love it as much as i do mate!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
