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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
