What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[iamhe77]

Two most recent additions after exercising quite a bit of patience...

New trans cooler

Cooler is a replacement RX7 oil cooler.

Thermostat is made by Hayden and allows for a flooded system, so no pressure loss when the thermostat opens.

New wheels

Been waiting to complete the set of these for a while.

They are a full set of the fronts from the 370z Nismo edition. 19 x 9.5 +40 with 10mm spacers to ensure no rubbing

Nice work cam both the wheels and the transcooler fitting look awesome

[Erop]

very nice look! viewing your pics i've first time wondered- S2 M35 has another rear bumper than S1 does! have anyone fitted S2 AR-X rear bumper to S1? it seems to me it should sit in properly

[iamhe77]

The S2 has the same mounts as the S1 for the rear bumper Erop, but aren't they the same item?

My rear bumper is off the RX so it won't look great due to the flares on the ARX.

The Axis rear bumper should fit up on an ARX pretty nicely.

Whoever designed the location for the dipstick hole on the PNM35 should be shot. Had to use the light on my phone to find the damn thing after checking the oil in fading light tonight. I'm always paranoid I haven't put it back in properly too.

fitted my eyelids...this is how slack i am, took me 3 months to just put these on.....fark my work hours

Yup, agree, but you do get used to it.

Bets thing you can do is actually spray some cleaner down there, with the dip stick in, and clean off the little triangle guide. That way it's a little easier to see, but also your not sweeping shit into the engine when you do put it in.

Cooler is bloody huge Cam, why such a large one?

I guess it will definitely do the job.

Wheels look epic, 19x9.5 +30 has got to be the perfect width/offset for a wheel on these; they suit it perfectly.

Changed back to nsw rego today. Cant say I was all that thrilled about it. To renew WA plates was 580 for 12mths, thats rego ctp the lot. It was easily over double that over here. Any one know why?

Also interestingly my WA rego said the car weighs 1415kg and I had it weighed... blue slip says 1680kg. classing it as an extra large car so you can see where the extra cost came from. what figure is correct?

[Brick]

They are fat whales 1680 is correct

[scotty nm35]

That would be dry weight too I think.

Mine was nearly 1800kg at the Phillip Island weighbridge, stripped for the track.

Massive thanks to Alex for today .

Nismo thermostat, Fenix radiator and Scotty's coolant mod fitted.

I was extremely surprised with the radiator, the core size stated by fenix is 42mm and it was a direct fit no modifications needed at all... Oh sorry except had to cut the top hose a bit because thicker radiator is thick.

This was probably

Get yo hand outta my valley!!

Coolant bypass with extra flooded valley.

Lowest temp seen was 77 degrees with the AC on, highest was 98 when idle then thermos kicked in and smashed it down around 90 without a problem.

Great to hear, the Mishimoto radiators are a pain to fit. So the thermos went back on fine?

Good price too.

[Erop]

The S2 has the same mounts as the S1 for the rear bumper Erop, but aren't they the same item?

My rear bumper is off the RX so it won't look great due to the flares on the ARX.

The Axis rear bumper should fit up on an ARX pretty nicely.

they are different, shurely

S2 one

S1

so i do like S2 much more) will look for S2 AR-X one)

i don't want to put AXIS one

So bloody large because I am bypassing the radiator... plus it fit perfectly under the reo leaving a heap of room behind for future mods (although the thermostat did take up a little more than I expected).

Wheels I have been slowly collecting over the past 2 years and would grab one or two when they came up on Yahoo for a reasonable price.

The pics don't do the wheels justice and make them look dull and lifeless due to the shade.

Yes, those two are different but what I am saying is that the S2 ARX has the same rear bumer as the S1 ARX as you can see in the link below

http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/NISSAN/STAGEA/700123019430131225002/index.html

S1 Axis and S2 Axis also share the same rear bumper.

I guess you could put a S2 RX or Axis S rear bumper on and have extra bulges added so that it matches up with the flares on your ARX.

Good price too.

kinda, it sits OK, probably could have trimmed some minor areas of it, but the temps I was getting and how quickly it dropped during idle I don't think I'd ever worry about it.

Top corner of the shroud where a bolt goes through has broken off anyways, but arex HKS fixed it easy.

Got a screw in my rear right. f**ked around putting pressure in it just to get to work until i could get into a local tyre shop near work.

Paid $100 to get 4 new tyres I supplied fitted to my 19" wheels on the Stag and balanced.

LOL! Read that completely wrong. I thought you paid $100 for a set of tyres!! I thought "Do you even grip?".

I got a screw in one once, drove on it for a while just tightened it when it was leaking lots lol.
