Got rear ended = broken rear bumper (again! :cool: ) & now the exhaust also has multiple leaks & most of the support clip things all got knocked off & middle section of the pipe is just dangling around & scraping on every bump I come across.

Still waiting in queue to get it fixed, gonna be waiting for ages due to panel shops being flooded with hail damaged cars...

Belts all makes an annoy whining sound when cold & power steering is making annoy whining sound too when I do a full lock turn at low speed.

Squeaky clutch :laugh:

Couple of small paint chips that were rusted when I bought it, hasn't spread & I've been too lazy to get them fixed up

First->Second gear crunches a bit below 2700rpm changes

Car isn't idling smoothly... revs are constant but it loses consistency every 5-10 seconds for a quick moment then returns to normal. I assume that's a sparkplug issue or something (not very mechanically minded)

2 years after buying it I still haven't bothered putting in an adapter or new head unit that would allow me to pick up Australian radio stations :thumbsup:

One of my nismo rim caps still needs painting before being put on

What's wrong with mine? Hmmm...

After spending obscene amounts of money over 6 years on it, I sold it for 1/5th of the price only to have the new owner crash/write it off 3 months later. *Sad in pants*

you're yet to see what it's become :P

      Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!

      Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)

      1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit

      I got sick of thinking about batteries so just kept buying chargers. I've got a ctek (racecar), a "noco" thing from supercheap (tow car with 2 batteries), and an old "SupaCharge" branded lead acid thing (farm ute/mower) and will need 1 more when the Silvia gets a battery again (if the 86 stays).  I always make sure the charger itself is in free space/away from car etc, just to be sure.
