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.........

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
