Won't be my last car as i'm on 20 and i'm already on my 4th car :P ... But i think the Stagea is one car i'd keep as a project if i brought a daily driver in the near future.. how many show quality Stagea's do you see? or Stagea's with the potential to do 10's?.. Id like to do something different.. pull the RB25 out and sell it to make way for a 30/26 or pick up a cheap Supra or Aristo half cut and do a 2JZ-GTE conversion (puts flame suit on)..

Man Im with you. Twin turbo 2jz in a stag would be the just right.......if you could make it fit. (exhaust on the wrong side for a start)

There is a Stagea being built with a nissan 4.1L AWD V8 twin turbo. Power goal is 800hp+

For those who haven't seen it check out this NZ Stagea "Pure Methamphetamachine". I miss living in NZ jap cars were so cheap and we had so much freedom to do whatever we liked to them. Oh well OZ weather is better :D

If anything happens to my bottom end I will be throwing a 30 bottom end in there, we've built a few 30's now including a 4wd one and IMO the Stag could really do with the 3L (especially with my laggy turbo) as opposed to my 32 where the abundance of torque really isn't needed but makes for a lot of fun! heheh

and back to the topic;

I've owned a few cars for my age (25) i've had: A datsun pulsar, ford xb and xd (boats), 74 rover p6b 3l v8 (awesome car, taxi wrote it off), vw Kombi, vb commonwhore 4.2 v8, 83 subi wagon, 84 subi wagon wrx running gear (still have).

So I think it's fair to say that my new s2 stagea is the best car I've had and it's the only car I've seriously thought about keeping for the rest of my dayz (apart from the rover).

But it's hard to say if it will be the last car I buy.........

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
