lol, why do all stagea owners have another car?

or is it that lots of car owners have a stagea as a second, practical car?

LOL, my Stagea is my one and only car. I constantly see cars that I would love to buy, but I can't see myself getting rid of the LOLvo, and I can't justify owning two cars.

my old Honda Civic EG:

a bit ricey:

no power mods other than catback exhaust, ghetto DIY intake (less than $100 incl K&N pod filter) and a light tune using VAFC...other mods were all handling stuff - coilovers, all the braces that i could get

what do i do if my non stagea, IS a stagea?? but then i do have a commodore......:sick::spank: its ok for skids.... when its running :down:

Mine too. Then have the 84Sky. The Slimey Sil has now gone.

my fun car

84 bluebird TRX, coilovers, s13 front brakes 910 disc rears, swaybars, cam, twin webers, exhaust

soon to go ca18 when i get my shed sorted 17's soon to be fitted

pics are with 16's

its just a loud low car that i bought as my first car some 10 years ago on my p's - both it and I survived...

Hmm actually there are quite a few more than that around.

There are 4 in WA, and I know of about 6 or so in the Eastern States.

It is rumoured that every Ford Dealer had one car for display.

Here are some from a recent show in the UK. This photo shows the shape better.

Here is a pic & vid of my non stagea (VTR1000). I just got it back from the repairer after a lady in a Honda Odyssey hit me from behind when I was making a right turn in a roundabout. She sent me flying 20 mtrs, needless to say I am still recovering after a number of broken bones. :domokun:

I have decided to sell it & use some of the funds towards the Stag, I will buy another one just for track work (NO CARS, NO POLES, NO GUTTERS)

Below is the vid

VTR100 de baffled

little bit of change since I bought it 5 yrs ago.

it lost the 1.8 turbo and 5 spd manual and gained a 2 lt twin turbo,stupid brakes,ABS/traction control and a tricked 4spd jatco. its my daily.

grrrr, everything is bolted back in minus the driveshafts

stupid tasmania, posting anything with aus post takes aaaaaaages here

anyone got any ideas on how to paint the corolla really cheaply but have a decent, lasting result?

    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
