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

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?

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
