Lol, it was pretty funny actually, they were really open minded when I was telling about it. Undercover bogans maybe? Their kids were waving as we pulled away, I can hear the conversation in the car; "What kind of car was that dad?" Dad; "That's a Stagea son, if clean you tooth; one day, maybe, you could be driving one of those" Son; "Wow dad" Dad; "Shuddup smartarse; and crack daddy another can, it's too f##kin' late for me..."

Fixed for accuracy :D

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

My girlfriend was telling be about a conversation between her and her mum the other day...

"So you're driving tonight. Driving your car or Ryan's?"

"My car. I haven't driven Ryan's, and I don't want to."

"Why not? It's just a station wagon."

The next 5 minutes involves her mum, who hates me, being corrected by my girlfriend and her dad...

I've warned her... wait till I get the GZone remap and the throttle restriction removed... :devil:

I went to buy a printer yesterday, and the guy I bought it off asked me what car I was driving. Had I not been too tired to be thinking straight, I would have strung him along a bit instead of just saying "it's a Nissan."

Stopped for fuel in Buladelah today, a toothless local woman came over; "What the hell kind of car is that?" "It's a Stagea" I say. "Yeah, but a Holden, or a Ford? I definitely know it's not a Ford" She asks. "It's a Nissan" I say. "Faaaark, thats a beautiful car" She tells me. "I want one of these" to her equally toothless partner.

Chatted with them while I filled the car, they were blown away by the fact it was a 2002 model (They assumed it was brand new) Thought it was awesome.

As I got in to drive away, got the thumbs up and "Hey mate, Enjoy your driving, lucky bastard" "Thanks man, will do"

Stagea; Converting bogans all over NSW.:thumbsup:

LOL, I was just re-reading this Dale, and if this woman "knew it defintely wasn't a Ford," why the heck did she include it in her initial question anyway??? :blink::whistling::rolleyes:

At least they were nice about it, though, hey?

Yeah, dunno Nick, it was a bit of an odd experience all round... Surprisingly open minded for bogans; guess you can't judge a book by its teeth.

Pretty funny though, missus & I were laughing about it all weekend.

Came out of Bunnings Penrith this arvo behind an elderly couple. I was following behind them heading back to my car and they were commenting on how low the car looked. I then over heard the wife say "What volvo is that?" Her husband said he "Didn't think it was a Volvo as there were no Volvo badges" (my stageas completely debadged). At this point I had reached my car but I could still hear them trying to work out what it was.

Made my afternoon, and the look on their face when they heard my BOV was priceless.

got an exedy heavy duty. by the feel of it should be right for a while in regards to holding power, not that i have any plans for more power atm anyway. and yes apart from the clutch going (probly more my fault anyway, few too many hard launches), and a mate broke the lever in the boot for folding down the rear seat (he was drunk and tried to demonstrate how it works to another guy interested in buying a stagea, but never had the chance to look at one in person before, and he pulled it way to hard) but that's fixed now too, it's run perfectly. couple issues with getting the new head unit to work but that's a problem with head unit not the car. definately very happy with it. Did you know it's been in an accident at some point though? tried to get one of those towbars from the guy on here, and when the local towbar guys tried to fit it they said it was a bit out of allignment. so haven't got that sorted yet. really should get onto it. and got 2 new tyres and they said same thing, been in accident.

my GF originally hated my choice of a wagon.. said she would never be caught dead in it! now she drives it harder than i do! lol

Lol they all come around to the Black...

My missus tells all her friends how it's scary having that much power under her foot (drives a 1.8 Mazda) but has a grin every time she brings it on boost...:whistling:

just got my new clutch installed and gave the missus a try at driving it, she bunny hopped first, stalled on the change to second, restarted, stalled first. put the hazards and handbrake on (leaving the car in the lane) jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
