my girlfriend spotted a silver stagea parked outside the PA hospital (brisbane) yesterday!

It wasn't mine but i will be at the PA toworow about 10:30 AM till about mid afternoon. I have to take my perants there for a check up.

Spotted a White S2 Stagea yesterday in Keilor, had the plate (i think) GTR1, 18" gold BBS wheels (same as l sold), exhaust, otherwise pretty stock looking.

Either way both him and me got a shock from seeing another stagea on the road!!

Anyone else here get excited when they see another stagea on the road still??

saw a red stagea with plates "STAGEA" on orrong road about 4pm yesterday, some older woman driving it with kids i think. stock as a rock :P

How dare they not leave that number plate to one of us enthusiasts :(

green one is me! reppin for northsideimportscene.com. Had the car for six months, and never seen another one on the road... i went down the gold coast and saw two! a red one with plates STA63A, or similar (had a baby seat, very stock) and a silver one with a 34gtr front end which made a whole lot of noise. was to blown away to wave, but i think i may have pointed furiously.

Spotted a Silver S2 (might have been the same one i spotted last time) in my rear vision mirror going to work yesterday morning. i turned around to have a look and it was gone! i think it turned into a side street, but i had to have a hard think about whether i saw it or not. very odd

Spotted; on the weekend in my driveway, Toxic pinching my original cd player LOL - nice car! Those 19s look nice, but seriously didnt look much bigger than my 17s. Im a big fan of my GTT rims as they suit the car just right.

Spotted; tuesday am on Flinders street in the city, a white S2. Nice. Looked mean....... meaner than the usual Volvo you see driving around!

Spotted; wednesday pm on South tce in the city, a silver S1. Chatted to the owner, hes got a black R34 GTR with 290awkw, tuned by Martin Donnan etc etc. Lucky man thats for sure, was a great chat. Not a bad car, said 60000kms but I reckon it may have been wound back a little. Im thinking my car was in slightly better condition.

so, 3 Stageas spotted in 3 days. weird. there must be around 2 dozen now in Adelaide.... =(

saw a silver stagea with an r34 front conversion in the Brisbane/loganlea area.... was so nice :laugh:

EDIT: also spotted another nice silver stagea going along compton road in brisbane, sounds so nice

spotted - my car! by a speed camera... 3 am, desolate highway in the MIDDLE OF FRIKEN NOWHERE, doing a speed run. got a nice little pic in the mail of my numberplate, and a $700 fine, 8 pts. 6 mths suspension. 179 in a 110 zone. Good old speed limiter.

car will now not be spotted for a while. mods time...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
