Well i got hit in the front left hand side at about 90kmph from a car coming straight at me. Felt little bit worse then a nice bumper-cars hit.... You could drive alot worse in the wagon department.

planning to crash?

or is there a specific reason?

I really don't have much time for a safety rating based on the number of airbags after you crash rather than the car's ability to dodge 99% of possible incidents

that and i don't know if there's been a crash in a stag where the airbags have deployed? i haven't been around that long though, so i could be wrong.

I have seen a five star rating - will have to look it up to see who issued the rating. I wrote off an earlier S1 RS4T by leaving the State highway at about 100km/hr flying across a culvert and hitting the other side ( Lack of sleep - I have learned my lesson and don't plan on a repeat). Front was wrecked LH turret pushed back and roof buckled - windscreen shattered but sayed intact (no flying glass) - doors stayed shut but could all be opened post crash. Seatbelts have pre-tensioners and airbags deployed. Suffered a bit of a headache and a scratch on my left elbow. Survivability is affected not only by features that give rise to a 5 star rating but also mass is a factor (esp in head on) so in this case 1800kg is a plus.

Same here! I have NFI about "star" ratings but having had the experience of headbutting a wrx hard enough to write an S1 off, and the fact that my entire family got out and walked away without a scratch, I would say they are excellent. A hell of a lot better than most cars of a comparable size etc IMO

Stagea does not seem to appear in any of the Australian or NZ ratings. The one I saw was for 2001 (don't know if that's C34 or M35) and it was 5 stars out of 6 JNCAP crash tests so maybe someone who can read Japanese can look it up on a Japanese website.

If you believe the youtube clips, the stagea is 5 star by JNCAP ratings (which is out of 6). This is for both C34 and M35.

In particular, it did mention that the passenger safety rating was 5 star while the driver rating was only 4 star. not sure why this is as no reason was given. Pretty sure I found it on youtube but I cant access that from work so I cant look it up right now.

The youtube clips I'm referring to are actual crash test videos showing the stagea crashing 3 ways (front, side & front corner).

In any case they rate VERY well compared to other cars (especially wagons) of equivalent year.

I believe the only thing to let them down ratings-wise is the lack of VDC/ASC, which wasn't around/common at the time these cars were first built anyway.

Back a few years Rob?? wrote his S1 of. The pics are in here somewhere. The front completely broke off at the A pillar and the motor and bits spread all over. Funny, no broken windows. I got his N/A grille and rear bar.

From memory he hit the pole at VERY high speed and he and his mate got out and walked home.

I think Stags must be very safe.

I remember this one, decent stack. I have a good story - but a picture tells a 1000 words. I'll try and dig up some pictures of my first stag crumpled, on its side in a ditch with a twisted chassis and snapped front axle from sheared rusty hub bolts. lol. Yeah I can vouch for their 5 star safety, thats why i bought another one.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
