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.........

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
