I am surprised and pleased at the responses to "the coolest' and "bad bits". It shows that we Stagea owners have feelings.

Next question is "What have you done to your Stagea that has given you the most satisfaction"

WTF....the biggest BUZZ> The most expensive BUZZ>The cheapest BUZZ>The most disappointing BUZZ.(No sex please) :thumbsup:

rear strut brace made the most dramatic difference to the driving experience (aside from the whole transplant/manual conversion thing)

Biggest thrill is any time you are upwards of 6500rpm, or when you have the middle pedal pushed to the floor (I love my brakes!)

Most satisfying will be when I finally finish the car: ihopefully in the next couple of months... :thumbsup:

I love it: best car I've ever owned!

best thing would be rebuilding the gearbox to stage 2 . . .. negative point about that is no more overdrive when cruising in 4th, i.e dropping off 500rpm. and i drive for 3hours straight at 110kph fairly orften

and it drags the gears out longer and holds them before changin, but thats where manual gearing comes in to play ;)

+ for responsiveness and power holding

- for fuel consumption now :(

I'm pretty happy with all the mods I've done so far (and I'm currently in the process of fitting freshly rebuilt Nismo-badged Bilstein S-Tune suspension). A few that stand out are:

Master cylinder stopper - a simple, cheap, and very effective little piece of metal.

Shift kit - the OEM 1-2 shift was pretty damn lengthy to say the least...

IEBC - wake up that stock turbo!

Rear bar upgrade - much nicer in the corners, especially high-speed sweepers on the freeway.

The ECUTalk display is a really cool thing too, like a mini-Consult, with 'trip-computer' features that Nissan didn't fit to the car from the factory

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
