Ill be there! Well as long as my stag is ready to go, dam transmissions, thanks again for the trans Ruby!

No sweat! :) Hope you enjoy the box ... with the free new solenoids and stage 2 shift kit :)

Don't forget what I said about the sensor that goes into the top of the box. Have your mate test that particular sensor too, prior to fitting my old box ... tho I reckon it is your solenoids gone. :)

Haha, good to see you guys actually have a sence of humour, unlike some forums I've been on.

Quick rundown, I'd be keen for a cruise, fingers crossed I can pick up the Stag in time for it though. You will more than likely know Ben, unsure of his forum name, but rego is SRS260 (pearl white 260RS). Got a deposit down, and hopefully get my grubbly little hands on her soon hehehe. Be good to meet some of you as I'm relatively new to the Nissan world, (I own a 1988 GZ20 Soarer with 1JZ swap and T04S single turbo, hence the name JZZ20).

So yeah, just a bit of an introduction and hopefully can meet up for the cruise :D

...side note... which is it officially? 260RS or RS260 ?? :S

Congratulations on the purchase mate! :D

Yes, Ben (GRIM) and Janene (Nene260RS) (and bubs) are really good mates of mine. Good to see the white 260 stayed local. Nene is also our Club Treasurer (I'm the Club Secretary), so it'd be good to get some more Stagea owners on the club members list (hint, hint) :P

The official name for your new ride is Stagea "260RS".

I'm sure Ben and Nene will be out in the Black 260 (RRS260) and I'll have mine there too (RRS250), so you can catch up with amples of Stagea fans on the day.

To all,

I will PM you all a map and meet point in the near future. :P

Any idea on date yet?
Right, given the responses, I'm thinking of locking in a cruise in early March. Say sunday March 7th, meet 10am for 10.30am departure. Location and cruise route to be advised.

It'll be a nice 2 hours drive with what I have in mind.

Those who are not members of the SAU-SA club, I'll be bringing along some membership forms. Stagea owners more than encouraged to join!

:D

Well I've been approved on the loan, but I have a Holden VT Berlina under finance, and they want part of it payed off, or some crap, no one understands why. So once that goes through I'll head out and pick it up.

Fingers crossed it comes before the cruise. Otherwise I may just pop out when you guys meet up or something. Or if Ben lets me drive it for him :D hahaha

"Last cruise got us a record of 25 Stageas ... I want to beat that!"

count me in! will be my first, be good to see what else is out there

Ill bring the M35 out if I can get it off my wife, if its on a sunday and not to close to the all japan day I like the idea of late march. See how many M35s are out there.

But I cant come the 7th mar because that is the long weekend.

just got word that my new wheels are 6 weeks off landing, revise the date (end of march) so i have a chance of having them on :(

will still be there either way

Damn straight! :)

My stag will be sporting a slightly newer look ... new intercooler piping too. :(

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
