A few months ago I saw a dark green Stag, just like mine up here on Tamborine. Well I flagged it over and had a chat

to the owner. He was selling soon so today I went to the Sunny and picked her up.

And it has an N/A grille just like mine.

But it is an auto, RWD, 25G. Yes an N/A S1 Stagea.

145k, duco is a bit sea shore weathered, insides are very good. Drives like a dream. I was very impressed with the run back to Tamborine. Smooth as and a nice RWD sense of oversteer. For an N/A it came up the mountain remarkably quick.Who needs a turbo? I do! This is for the P plater.

From what I know of the car it was a personal import from an Oz guy who lived in Japan for a few years and he brought it in as "Personal Property" and had it complianced as such. I got it from the second owner.

Apart from being N/A the only extras it does not have that mine has are tweeter speakers in the A columns and the electric tailgate closer.

Does anybody else have an N/A 25G?

first stag I've herd of minus a tailgate closer...

Got to remember a 25G is virtually a "Poverty Pack" LOL

But it has everything else that the RS has including weather strip, P/S is missing.

The interior is a much softer velour and has a full set of Stagea motif floor mats and is Stagea matted in the cargo area. It is only the 25G badge on the tailgate that gives it away and the N/A grille. But The RSFOUR has an N/A grille.

I just might put the turbo grille on the G, that willreally confuse the plebs. :P

She is officially called "THE G"

There is one of those little telescopic aerials on the P/S front bar with a little green lamp? on the top. I did see a post where an M35?? had one.

How or when does the little light come on. Is the telescopic part electric, if so how does it come on??

Need to get some answers before I start pulling the guard liner off

Hugh you can have my RS4 badge as I am debadging mine!

Seen this?:

and it appears neo engined ones like my first S1 came out in late 97 but the 96 n/a is quite zippy anyway.

If you have that button/switch in the same location as in my picture in that post, that should be what controls the light.

Heya hugh. I saw some RS models and 25Gs in Christchurch and at yards in Qld a few years back. I mentioned that these rwd models in S1 and S2 were great value and generally cheaper than an RS four. Most S1s interiors are poverty pack, but recieved a huge facelift with the S2 RS. Tangents and a few other members on this forum have one. But yours is the first S1 I think?

All are in auto/tiptronic and n/a and are significantly lighter than the 4WD platform. If you can get one cheap enuf you can manual convert and turbo up easily. I recall hearing that there is gonna be a few manual rwd n/a M35s available for compliance soon too. How much did you pay because i know that these are really cheap and widely available in NZ. But somewhat sort after in Oz.

oh man....I admire your dedication for collecting nissans (a problem i share....) but NA and auto???? ouch.

I think it is the only one in OZ. Its in very good condition and is quite nippy without the 4WD. And its for my 17yo L Plater, soon to be a P. :P:)

hmmm, i'd be very keen to see what it's like on insurance... i guess, realistically, all the parts are already in aus, but i don't think it would show up in the database if it hasn't been approved for import.

Third party fire and theft $300 with NRMA.

There are a fair few Skylines in Oz with the DE motor, auto box, and RWD so thats no problem. The body is the same as other Stageas and the front strut towers look like normal OEM RWD with 3 bolt fixing for the strut brace.

When I first imported early last year, I sore a N/A green stagea from Tasmania up for sale. Was imported for race use i'm pretty sure, Though i have herd of other people with N/A stagea's in Australia, although is very rare.

I may have seen you in this Saturday night.

Got off Beenleigh South Exit. heading in through Mt Warren Park.

Your left outer tail light is also broken :)

I was in the Celsior with the Japanese on the back window :)

Actually I was lost. Normally get off North but missed.

I'll check the tail light. Ta muchly.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
