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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
