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

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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
