Old mate with the red wagon would have had a fun time fitting a coupe/sedan support onto a stagea.

Thanks for the imput/feedback/comments boys

It does look nice with the big smiley face on it, and given enough time the Stag lights can get all yellow misty.

Personally I would have gone the series 2 front as it is so mush better than the series 1. :yes:

Pretty cool and unique...only ever seen it done this way..

Love that pic for the effort and the fact that the front quarter panels readily are available.

But that thing is ugly.

I have yet to see NM or PM Stagea headlights that have not been opened go yellow and misty.

Series 2 + Aero FTW ;)

I'll give it an A+ for effort but an F for final result. Sorry but it's just fugly to me.

http://m.specsavers.com.au/ this might help you see things different.

couldn't be effed reading the whole threads, are you planning on paint matching the bumper or keeping as is?

I like it, but I reckon it will look better if the bumper is white & you keep the two tone thing happening by painting the bottom of it grey

not a fan of the rpf1's personally but they look good on your car

agreed...paint the bumper otherwise it just looks half arsed. Personally I would colour code the lower part as well which gives better ground effect unless you are a big fan of the old fashion two toned.

I cant afford to have it painted at the moment hey i just wanted it on. I have a silver aero bar going on next week. I have to have holes filled were the body moulding clip holes are on the gaurds. I also need a new rear bumper aswell. Would love to get the aero sedan kit but all this costs money. I have to pay off what i got before i start on anything else and my brakes are def def the next thing after the bumper. Give me time people. Its easy enough for yous all to say do this and do that but try doing it o what i earn a week

No need to alter my vision to my detriment. I just don't like it. That doesn't mean what you've done is wrong. I'm just saying it's not my cup of tea but all the same, you get my respect for the effort that has undoubtedly gone into that. I got ripped on for turbocharging my old J30 Maxima but I built it for me to enjoy, not to parade. I wasn't about to embark on a mission to convince the infidels that I created something they must like.

If you like what you have, that's all that should matter. My opinion shouldn't make you defensive and certainly wasn't intended to insult.

Sorry guys its just that everyone is asking and twlling me "why is your bumper black and your other panels white" and "go get it painted duded it look weird hey" but most people do not realise how much this nose conversion actually cost and think it cost and thinks i cost like a grand or so it actually cost just under $3500. It was by pure luck that nisswreck had a QX1 what series one stagea wrecking. Let alone a stagea that hasnt been in a head on. Also i dont thing people get through their tiny minds that QX1 is a three layer factory pearl its not gloss or anything like that and the paint it not cheap buy anymean.

Im not having a go at anyone of yous. Yous know but i was just sick of people telling and stating the f@#king obvious about my bar and its getting on my nerves.

I bought a black one because daleo was selling one cheap and jumped at it. Its not white but it was cheap. It will be painted or replaced and painted in time but there is more important things to get/pay off before that

    • 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.
