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

    • If go with OVO or similar, you can buy electricity off peak periods of the day for next to nothing, i.e. when the sun is out and everyone is exporting and noone is consuming. I'm also planning to join a VPP and sell back during peak hours. Bro science stacks up, and also the battery inverter has a spare MPPT port, so I could add another solar array. I still have the roof space for at least another 7 panels.  
    • I might need to invest in at least another battery, maybe...as the battery going in is a 19.2kWh, which is larger than I initially thought when I replied, the panels are 10.56kW
    • It appeared like someone was well triggered. Seems the way they mention finances, and business the way they do, that there's some major financial insecurities, or just insecurities in general and someone feels they need to try and put people down. 
    • My 3.8 kW system (when new, not so much nearly 20 yrs later) will do 21 kWh per day (best few months of the year), and that's with an afternoon shading issue. So it really could/should be able to do maybe 24. So a 6.6 kW system probably cannot fill a 40ish kWh battery from scratch, but then it is very unlikely to ever need to. Let's presume that you use 10-15 kWh during the day and stash the rest. So long as the battery isn't drawn down below ~50%, it'll be fine. And that draw down presumes using 20 kWh overnight, which is a reasonably heavy draw. So that seems reasonable. The 40kWh will be good for extended outages, and very bad days where you get almost no generation for a day or two. Might struggle to top it all the way back up after it gets pulled all the way down though. I'd think you'd probably want about 10 kW of panels to make life a little easier, wrt keeping a 40 kWh battery charged. But then....does it really need to be at 100% every day? Probably not.
