so with a new house and family the logistics of running a once a month race car ( aka cherrired) and a family car ( tha fairmont) and tha missus daily (barina) are starting to look questionable

somethings gotta give methinks so the thought process right now is part with cherrired and the fairmont for a stagea and hopefully still be able to compete small time on the track

does this sound feasable or should i shed the toy till things sort themselves out and i can get back on the track

what to do what to do??????????????????????????

In all honesty, yes you are crazy.

Stagea's make a crap track car. They are heavy, slow (compared to a 'line) and need a crapload of suspension mods just to stop the oversteer. IMO if you go down this path you will cry a little bit every time you try and track the stag.

shed cherrired man. At least then you can still pop out to the shed and roll naked across the bonnet moaning "mineminemine" every now and again.

and +1 for a track only S13 or similar

Sif farken sell the 33 get rid of the fairmont!! Unless you have more than 2 kids of course.....

But if I were you I'd just hold back on the racing side of things for a while until you are on top of everything (in the most sexual way possible) and then you can get back into it (again). But if not & the 33 must be sacrificed it would suck, but be for the better in the long run.

i dont really want to part with either car and hopefully wont

but at the verry least dont think i will be competeing verry much next year which makes it hard to justify a track car

and the idea of a combo with a stag while not optimum is apealing course ive never driven one so would have to test afew first

Stagea's are awesome family cars, but they are bloody heavy, the fuel consumption may cause you to wee a little bit every time you fill up (even stock) and while the attessa system is capable under normal driving conditions, you have to remember that its NOT a GTR system, its based on the GT4 system, and thus is not set up for much abuse (This is what makes the stagea such a parts bin special, it was the only RB25DET powered nissan to be built with any form of attessa - R33 GT4 was NA only)

Dude, nah! Dont sell it.

She it and bring it out again when your ready to race again.

IF you do sell it with the intention of a Stagea for a track car, rethink that LOL

p.s. IF you have to sell her, im happy to do a deal on the diff as i want it...ill keep the memory or cherry red alive! Kinda like an organ donour if you will :)

    • I’ve dedicated my career to the car transport industry. Over the years, I’ve worked across every part of the process — from arranging pickups and managing drivers, to ensuring vehicles are delivered safely and on time. I know how much people value their cars, whether it’s a family vehicle, a dealership delivery, or a classic car, and I make it my responsibility to treat every transport job with care and transparency. As an independent member of the Car Transport Association, I represent not just my own work, but also the broader interests of customers and carriers. I believe in raising standards across the industry — better safety checks, clearer condition reporting, fairer pricing, and honest communication. My approach is practical: solve problems before they happen, make processes easier for drivers and customers, and always keep the focus on reliability. What sets me apart is my commitment to clear communication. I provide updates, photos, and accurate delivery times so that customers know exactly where they stand. My goal is simple: safe, transparent, and trustworthy vehicle transport, every single time. If you’re looking for a partner in car transport who values accountability and professionalism, I’d be glad to connect.
    • Because sometimes I do dumb shit and because I kept thinking about 6.6kWh worth of PVs wouldn't be fully enough if I'm consuming during the day as well as charging. So I did a thing, added another 5kW of PVs lol. Since there's a spare MPPT port, why the fk not?
