I once heard someone (uneducated Skyline owner) refer to Stageas as "boats". At the time I thought this was mildly offensive :angry: but reading this I'm not so sure. Boats being holes in the water that you throw money into, so they say. :devil:

Keep it in wagon mode Darrin, & enjoy.

Cheers GW

I have a new bussiness growing fast which will require me to get really big shed/warehouse.

My company will need a "ute" and I have this little plan to maybe build one and I can "get" away with doing it not at home (wife :rant: )

It would be good to have the wagon and a replica ute in same style and colour for advertiseing etc. This is the long term plan. Good to have a dream.

My brother in law (panel beater) owes me 8 weekends work I just put in helping him repair and I painted an EH wagon for thier wedding.

You've probably seen the pics of utes that are floating around. Just have to find room for the Atessa reservoir (on the right) and the attessa ecu (in the left) and reroute all the wiring - definitely do-able!!

could just leave the reservoir where it is and have a panel in side of the tray, or of course rip it out and just make it 2wd = more fun :whistling:

Ive been looking into it for a while darrin. Qld transport said because of the complexity of the modifications that ud need to build 2 of them and crash 1 for safety tests. But there is other ppl that say other wise. What have u found so far??

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
