Hi guys ;)

I've been thinking about a wiki for Stageas for a while. The idea is that it'd be a lower level (stagea only) wiki, where people could sign up and contribute in the usual way. I figured it'd be a great reference, not only for noobs (seeing as the search on IPBB is pretty ordinary), but for all other facts and figures.

Anyhow, have a think, tell me what you reckon :) I'm swamped with projects at the moment though, so it'd be a few months off.

Cheers guys :)

what about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Stagea ???

I mean you can't contribute but it tells you a fair bit of info...

not quite. where that wiki is a general overview of stags inc model details/model specifics, this wiki would be stagea only, with more detailed information, maintainance guides, suspension information, DIY's and their results etc.

for example, imagine the topics from the DIY & FYI page, but with definitive information, as opposed to having to read through 40+ page threads to find the single sentence you're looking for. I was talking to someone a while back about consolidating information so that there's a one stop reference where people find the useful information, straight away, in a single thread. that wouldn't work, but i think this would. it will stop a lot of the questions where the answer is "do a search" as well.

it won't remove the use of the forum, or change it in any way (it'll be external, unless SAU wants to use it i guess). as people are still coming up with new ideas and different ways of solving old problems, all the conversation would still take place here, it's just the end result would be recoded in a single spot, with links to the thread for more information if need be.

edit:

something like this would work well for all types of modification/club forums. i would LOVE to see a wiki on nissansilvia.com and i could make one for them, but the problem is that there'd be so many wankers who'd try and f**k it up, that moderating it would be a nightmare. the community here appears to be united to a single cause, which is another reason why i think it would work :blush:

ive been thinking about this for a while....... for M35 anyway, centralise all the information. but i dont mean to take anyone from here, just keep all the information in one place for easy reference.

i might still do it, dunno yet

Sounds like a good idea. I hate it when i know the answer to my question is somewhere in this website but often even after ages of searching I can't find it. You see the same question being asked time and time again and you can't really blame people as i have read the brake, suspension and Jaycar threads from end to end and still can't always find what I want. There was an attempt in the DIY section to list things but a proper well maintained reference site would be great. I can't help with its construction (IT deficient) but would help with filling gaps in information. It would be particularly useful for brakes and suspension (what fits which model).

please noone take this the wrong way but i think it would be pretty cool to have a pure stagea oz sight. im a member on a couple of sights and keep a eye on them all i wouldnt see it as robbing anyone at all i personaly think of it as expaning. i would always keep using SAU cos alot of the non stagea guys have alot of helpfull and interesting advice that wouldnt follow if we were to branch out.

i suck at english can hardly use a computer but would be interested to help if anyone else was.

like i said im not trying to tred on any toes just think it would be pretty good to have a place of our own.

Maybe a redirect of Stageasaustralia to this forum, but no WAY would you want to seperate... you loose the forced induction, suspension, drivetrain tech sections, which are of use, and of course the classifieds, and local sections etc. You would also be robbing the creators of this site the community they have founded :huh:

  • 3 years later...

not to drag an old thread back from the dead, but I have just been thinking about a stagea wiki and searched and found this thread.

I'm setting one up at my work (power electronics design/manufacture) to capture all the knowledge that stays in our heads when working on products.

The beauty of the wiki is that things can be debated/discussed in the forums and the wiki is the distillation of the consensus. that and all the facts can be put in place. We are using Dokuwiki which is free and super simple to setup and easy to use.

The only issue I can see is that it would be ideal to have the same or linked logins as on these forums. Perhaps the software that runs these forums can be connected to a wiki...

that would be nice and easy, but their wiki software seems pretty clunky and overly busy, as well as slow. plus less control than if we kept it aligned with this forum. If I can find some free hosting - ***or if skylinesaustralia.com are interested in hosting it**** I'd set up a dokuwiki version or something similar...

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
