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...

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
