Hi guys, I've just purchased a Nissan Stagea.

I've had a Toyota Soarer for about six years so now it's time to learn about a whole new marque!

My Stagea is a 98 RS4S, black, manual so looks like a big old hearse haha. Has some light mods but won't be doing much to it, want to keep it fairly tame and reliable. Will post some pics once I get a chance to take it out for a shoot!

Sounds nice :D

I'm pretty new to the Stagea thing myself, but they're a great car.

cheers

Good to see another here. Was this this one advertised on CarSales?

Yeah it was. It has fairly high ks but drives well. I'll get the 200,000km service done a bit early just to make sure she's all ship shape as it turns out I might be moving to SA so will probably drive it across the Nullarbor - not a place you want a breakdown!

The interior did need a good clean out as ithad been a bit of a family car, got a lot of the kid muck out but unfortunately the seats are a little stained in the back. Might look into either dying some sections eventually. it's nothing too tragic in the mean time.

Also need to investigate a better option for the amp install as it currently takes up the right side rear passenger footwell.

It also has some 19 inch rims on it and while they look really cool the ride is affected quite badly. I might return to the stock 17s it came with.

that stag is very nice. plus wheels suit it nicely. very clean.

Indeed 18th and 19th is the Perth round of Track Battle & ADGP, meet and great cruise to the track :P

hell yeah im down for it. meet and greet at ADGP for sure. anyone SOR wonna cruise up to barbs?

I don't know if anyones interested but I have a 98 series 2 stag for sale. Needs a couple of things but it's pretty good price considering... factory manual, r34 gtr wheels.. its in forsale section here for 5k

here are the latest pics of new paint job almost done :) just needs pearl over the top:

looks awesome dude will be pretty epic in the flesh once its finished... Who was doing the paint ?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
