With massive thanks to Top Secret Imports and Project D Drift School, we had a ball today with a highly successful cruise to celebrate 15 years of the existence of the Nissan Stagea.

Our official photographer, Matt, will have some photos of today's event up too, but will be keeping some for our eventual article in Performance Imports magazine.

Many thanks to event co-creator Terry "Terry _GT-R34" for his help setting up the cruise, and SAU-NSW President Eric "Pezhead" and Vice-President Dave "Aggroman" for coming out in the morning to help make sure everything was running smoothly before we left. Thanks also to Terry and Matt "God_speed" for being my pilots for the morning run in the 260RS. It's very tempting to get some cams for that tough-sounding idle!

Congratulations to our award winners. Leon ("Commsman"), contact me for your prize - you'd already left when we gave them out...

So, if you have photos, comments, etc., post them up.

had to leave for work at beginning of lunch, who won the prizes? (lucky dream boats..)

Even with shitty rain hanging around all day we still had a great day and a nice cruise followed up by some damn fine steak ;)

Thanks to everyone to braved the weather to show their stag off to the world! I can honestly say I've never seen so many big stags in one place, not even in pictures on the interwebs. Good job everyone!! (Double thanks to those who cruised a million km's to be with us)

Another round of applause to Nick, Terry and everyone else behind the scenes who got idea up and running, then running so smoothly. It's a small job to get an event like this up and orchestrated so well.

I couldn't believe how many volvo's were at the same carpark we planned to use for the group shoot! Amazing!

This just in, In our endevours to reduce hoons on the roads we have removed the pesky illegal import car problem, however they have now taken to driving high powered noisy Volvo's.

We will continue our endevours to remove these menaces from our roads so you can feel safe driving your Camry at 55 in an 80 zone.

[/TodayTonight]

Seriously though....stop putting pics of nice Stag's up...Im beginning to want one.

Cruise looked good though

I'd like to add my thanks also. We had a great weekend & just arrived home after 8hrs of driving in the rain. Good to put faces to names & all that.

If I can speak for all the Execs since Eric (Pres), Nick, Dave, Sean & myself all took the chance to address everyone, this was a special day.

* the ladies had a great time

* it was a true family day with kids eating up the 15th Bday cake

* the sponsors were generous with their prizes

* it was extremely difficult to judge which of 22 Stageas should receive those prizes

* we had one of the best photographers in the business soaked to the skin & still getting the best shots

* PI magazine will be the better for it to show what Stags can really deliver

* the range of how Stageas can look from mean to just gorgeous defies any association with Volvos

* especially since one of the Stags today does 12.3sec on semis

* and lastly, the Stagea family is such a friendly bunch :)

PS Any pics of da CAKE???

Leon, send me a PM with your contact details - you won a prize but had already left when we did the presentation.

Sorry about that. PM sent.

nice post Eric and thanks for reminding me about that delicious looking cake that i forgot to scam a slice of!!

dagnamit!

I know that a lot of you confuse Terry and I since we are both distinguised asian fellas, but that was Terry :thumbsup:

And Yes, Matt now owns Terry's prior Black R34 GTR. Nice grumble exhaust note on that car. Love it!

Thanks all for your participation and all the weeks of effort that went on behind the scenes to make this all look so effortless on the day. Sorry I couldn't make it for the cruise but the pics look absolutely fantastic!

Agree - bring on a picture of the cake.

^ Stageas aren't dogs to drive at all! ;)

There are two ex-Terry cars in that above pic, I've got the black 34 and Simon has bought the black rear wing with the bayside blue VS2 attached to it. :)

I found the link to Stageaa shirts & hoodies that I was telling a few ppl about yesterday.

Stagea shirts etc

I have no connection with this business, other than I bought a shirt & hoodie from them.

Thanks for an awesome day, the last Stagea cruise I went on in QLD only got 12 or 13 Stagea's. 22 is the most I have ever seen.

Hope to get in to Sydney some time soon to catch up with all the SAU NSW crew. Or if you are in the ACT, drop me a PM.

Congrats on the organisers for a great day, big thanks for your hard work!

VERY happy to hear that the roll-over was not stagea related, and that all was well. i saw the ambulance and the fire truck speed past on our way back.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
