Heya! I just got my Nissan Stagea RS Four V today and I'm overly excited about it. Bought it back in November and just got it home today.  It's my first JDM car, and Station Wagon. Already I've gotten a lot of looks in it. I hope location isn't a matter, because this is about the only forums I found with anything on the Stagea so here I am.

Welcome. Sweet car and colour. I love wagons, there's plenty of others here who do as well.
Check in this section for more in depth stuff: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/82-wagoneers/

Do you want to tell us the story of how you go it? Did it all go smoothly? I imagine you've been waiting for a while to have it delivered (although i don't actually know).

Looking forward to more pics and details. :)

Started the process of finding one in late September 2018. Arrived in Canada in around November. Just arrived a few hours away a couple days ago. I bid on a couple I wanted, but didn't win them for the price I wanted. Ended up finding one with a couple dings around the car and got it for a bit less than expected. Would've rather had a 260RS but too much money. 

It went as smoothly as you could expect, getting a car from Japan to middle of nowhere Canada. First issue was that the battery was toast so I had to buy a new battery. It was only running on fumes so I had to make a trip to a gas station to buy a Jerry can and fill it enough to get the car there. After that just ripped home for a 2 1/2 hour drive. No other issues arose. Other than the headlight bulb exploding. I did get a ton of looks driving around town. More so from people driving when they should've been focusing on the road lol

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
