As some of you guys are aware, I sold my Stagea several months ago. Most people had guessed I had another toy lined up ... I mean, why would I sell my pride and joy right?

Well its certainly not another turbo Nissan I've replaced the Stagea with. Sometimes, there are much more important things in life than toys.

This is what I sold my Stag for:

My wife Tracy is 3 months pregnant!!! :D Its an IVF baby too. And as most people would know, IVF is certainly not cheap. My wife and I have been on IVF and trying to have a child for a number of years now. We've also been doing an extension to our house, and we'd been dipping into the funds for our house extension, to pay for some cycles of IVF. The money was going to run out inevitably, so I made the gamble ... and my gamble paid dividends. After nearly 15 years, years of IVF, and a divorce (ex-wife told me after 10 years she didn't want kids) I'm finally having my first child.

I WILL be getting a new toy in the near future ... but for now, my Bluebird is doing just fine.

:D

Big congrats!

My wife just hit 6 months (holy crap, only 12 weeks to go!). I bought a Stagea because of it :)

GL with everything. Hope you have a worry free pregnancy!

Congrats Ruby, awesome for you guys!

Best thing you'll ever do, enjoy every minute of it, time really flies. Sounds like you'll make great parents, you can't love em too much.

Cheers, Dale.

Awsome news mate kids are the best most important things in the world they forfill you much more than any material possesion ever could rose and i just had number 2, Eve four and a bit months ago. plenty of time for toys later on in life big congrats and all the best.

Cheers jase

Congrats, Ruby!

I've heard how expensive an IVF program can be, and even then there's still no guarantee that it will be successful, so I'm glad it's worked for you and your wife!

Congratulations!

Forget the material things in life, bringing a new life into the world is far more important.

We have 2 (kids that is) and 1 Stagea in that order.

I sold a sports car to start a family and get a mortgage- 10 years on I have absolutely no regrets!

I can always get that sports car again, but won't replace the kids for anything (the wife is another matter ha, ha)

Hoping all goes well mate, just had our first addition in November. Sold the v8 coupe for the m35 (soccer mum) baby seats fit well. Pram and great Dane do also! Good luck with it all, crazy first two weeks I tell you!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
