What a great bunch of welcoming people :D

It sure does suck re the aussie dollar vs the yen, but on the upside, I'm watching stuff selling for half the price that it would have sold for 6 months ago quite often so bargains are definitely there for the taking if you're watching closely :)

It seems a recurring theme is that we need a Stagea meet up and cruise and I'd definitely be down for that. Would even be happy to throw on a BBQ at Import Monster HQ as it's a good place to meet and show our cars off, we have heaps of parking in a semi private factory complex so if anyone would be up for that, I'll fire up the BBQ and get some snags in then we can go for a cruise (or Vice Versa, cruise, then lunch)

+1 for the BBQ @ Import Monster HQ!!! :(

Welcome to the forums!

Great to see more Stags in Melbourne

Yeah, just a shame that the price cuts are not suspension, 'coolers etc...

Anytime you guys want to get in M35 gear, I will be watching :(

Welcome Aaron, good choice on car, alot of people never seem to understand why i like stageas lol, until u drive/own one you just dont get it :(

Maybe we should start a thread on stagea section with links to stagea parts from japan yahoo auctions :D

I am the guy who bought the lmgt2 rims and top secret r32 gtr coilovers off you recently for a top price, they look great and suit my car well.

good luck with the car mate

car wasnt low enough so i took pic from above so it didnt look so stupid haha, its only got a 235 on the 10' rim too so they could squeeze under the stagea. The tyre doesnt suit the gtr though, 265s are needed on that.

Welcome to the Stagea section!

As everyone has said you will love your new car, i certainly have been loving mine

since i got her imported mid last year - so many cool little gadgets and features

that alot of modern cars dont even have!

Would definitely love to see more aftermarket parts available for them though,

it can be a little hard trying to find stuff available for them....

18 x 10 +20 FTW!! they look perfect! Yep, that is hot hot hot :D

CL11QE - I'll be working on fixing the deficit of good parts, but it's a slow process shipping from Japan via container so will probably be a few months before stuff starts showing up. What kind of stuff are people looking for?

Well there's loads of that kind of stuff available over there, it's all about getting it for the right prices to make it worthwhile. Otherwise, there's always the auction service - had quite a few RS260 bumpers, Dayz kits and stuff like that come through the doors for various peeps :D

Welcome.

Like you I had a Suckeroo Forester, worst car I have ever owned. Everything went wrong.

Had my S1 for just on Three years. It is a daily drive plus business truck. Had to be 37" between wheel arches.

Only prob was a tie rod end.

Hey Aaron,

How is it going? It's Dave, I bought the R34 GTR wheels off you a while ago for my white manual Stagea!

I had no Idea about the Rampant closing down sale! I would have been keen to check out what you had...

Good to hear you have a Stagea now, hope to see you at the next cruirse.

Cheers

Dave

Welcome to the Stagea family Aaron - another Stagea in Melbourne. I think I have to agree with most of the guys here that it's difficult to find aftermarket body kits and other little stuff...IMO it would because Stagea's are that well known here in Australia (despite us owning one) and its eaiser for aftermaket bits for a skyline to be here as every man, woman and child and their dog has one...sounds like i'm ranting sorry guys.

I'm down for a stagea cruise. I would love to meet up with other Stagea owners (and to answer my own question on how may M35 owners are there in Melbourne)

From the picture Aaron, it will come up very nice - is that a dayz front bar?? Black Stageas look very nice (along with pearl white and bayside blue ones IMO)...I remember I kept looking at the black Stagea at last years Auto Salon (other than it was a Stagea, it also had a SAU sticker)

What a great bunch of welcoming people :yes:

i am happy to organise everything and people put in a couple of dollars for the food/drinks etc

+1 for the BBQ @ Import Monster HQ!!! :)
ouch :banana:

suggest it in the thread and i will organise the cruise part?

COOOOL,count with me ...will love to have some new friends for my stag she feels so alone...If somebody wants to organize anything ....I'll be there...

I'll be working on fixing the deficit of good parts, but it's a slow process shipping from Japan via container so will probably be a few months before stuff starts showing up. What kind of stuff are people looking for?

Hi Aaron,

Good looking Stag in black....congratulations on your purchase.

I was there the other day with my black Stag...looked good together in your carpark like twins.

As discussed, there are some quite difficult to get items for these cars and now that you have a Series 2 you're in the same boat... Items from Japan I would like to see become available are;

Series 2 RS4V

- Front and rear brake rotors (Dixcel and others).

No local manufacturer does these. Nissan OEM only.

- Front and rear brake pads. (SR or others).

Availability in OZ- Nissan OEM. Rears available locally in Bendix but difficult to get, fronts only now became available from Ausbrake but only in standard compound, not in any heavy duty or performance compound.

- Suspension.

Front shocks. (How are yours?). The factory front ones in my experience rarely last more than 50,000kms.

Availability in OZ- Nissan OEM, Bilstein or Koni GTR shocks.

Springs- Fronts are GTR fitment but rears I think are unique.

Would like to see KYB front and rear shocks being offered with possibly matching springs (Eibach or others)

Feel free for others to add to my wish list.

Well there's loads of that kind of stuff available over there, it's all about getting it for the right prices to make it worthwhile. Otherwise, there's always the auction service - had quite a few RS260 bumpers, Dayz kits and stuff like that come through the doors for various peeps :laugh:

any dolphin kits ? for a series 2 ? i heard there around 5k now :S

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
