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

hrmm its really startin to grow on me, yellow's not my colour but damn thats a sexy yellow! plus its the neo engine which is great..........

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

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!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
