spot the stagea

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys Thought maybe we could add a thread for all the stageas we spot on the road. Guess there cant be too many around because I have known about them for ages and havent yet seen one on the road seen lots in the cannington auto wholesale yard tho :P

My wife rang me this afternoon she was on the way to work driving down stock road towards canning highway ( i am in wa btw :( ) and spotted a silver stagea with a milo tin on it and the rego number ( from what she can recall) was a black on white or white on black cant remember that read (edit licence deleted to respect owners privacy :D ). Does this beast belong to anyone on here?

My wife likes your car :boinkcar:

If anyone else spots a Volvo oops my bad a stagea :) post it up I am sure if someone on here spots another member they would love to know about it

edit: a few rules we should abide by to respect others privacy tho. no rego numbers as we dont need anyone having their car targeted.

:P

up here there prob abt. 10 all up i rekon, 2 at preferred and 3 at mjr + 2 rs260s waiting to be complied, mate of mine has a black one '99 xenon lights, had it for 2 yrs in his garage and cant take it out coz no plates, and 3 or 4 on road, including mine coz her spirit lives :angel: .

drove past mjr the other week and noticed a silver one out front, strange thing about this one that i noticed immediately were the foggies in the grill. after a quick yuwee i went and enquired about it and it was a late '98 series 2 with the tv and xenon headlights. Steering wheel was nice on this one so was the meshy trim. Was brought in by a bloke from melb. and left the next day.

Christian where are the pics of your beast?

Ill extend that to any other stagea owners post up some pics of the beast whether she be stock or modded I am sure everyone would like to see what everyone else has ;)

The only reason my wifes spots so many cars is shes too busy watching what everyone else is doing rather than watching her driving :) must be why she didnt notice that gate she used to modify the side of her car last year :)

:P

There is one in Newcastle. someone jsut bought it from the sketchys't caryard around but i looked at the car while it was there... seemed in good nick. Tried to catch him for a race in mum's 9-5 aero saab yesterday but there was to many cars between us lol. thought it might be a close race, was intrested to see how it would turn out. Will have to track it down in mum's car again (would use my car but don't want to embarres him... its only stock)

I've got one as well, had it for a couple of months.   Ben, what colour is yours?
Silver, factory BBS alloys, rear spoiler, no sunroof(s), 100% stock.

Only got it 2 weeks ago.

I'll be trying to only drive it during the week & take out my DR30 or my Z on the weekends!

Nah, it's the designated daily-driver. My Z is heavily modded, my DR is a little & my wallet & prevention-of-attention (theft-wise) sense is telling me to keep the Stagea 'looking boring' & not standing out.

Ask me again after I've finished paying for my 450HP Z motor & re-trimmed the DR (ie in a few years time!)

    • I'll rent a fuel pressure tester soon and report back. 
    • It has a separate fused 10ga wire running from the battery to the relay in the trunk. 10ga on the ground also. 
    • Actually I did the fuel pump rewire 2 days after the issues started. Grinded away the paint and grounded it to the chassis behind the right panel in the trunk. 
    • well, to check fuel pressure all you need is a gauge and a 8mm joiner with a gauge port in the inlet fuel line; if it stalls at idle when hot you can open the bonnet and check pressure at that time; the fuel pump is a potential cause for what you are describing but it could also be wiring to the pump getting hot. You haven't mentioned that the factory fuel flow control on the fuel pump earth is removed. So either way, it is worth running a suitably sized and fused wire from the battery to pin 30 in a new relay in the boot.  Use the ECU trigger wire into the standard fuel relay to pin 86. Earth relay pin 85 and the Fuel Pump negative (nice big wire for the latter too). Run relay pin 86 pin to Fuel Pump +. That will remove multiple possible fuel pump wiring issues in a 30+ year old car
    • I've been running a 525 for years with the standard hat and FPR in the stagea (mine has a 32 gtr fuel rail and stagea and 32 hat and tank setup are the same) without an issue with base fuel pressure. You said when you disconnected the return it is OK, did you do so at the fuel rail or the fuel hat? Either way I'd be looking for blockages or in the case of the tank kinks in the lines downstream Note I did however have an issue with the current required for the 460 melting the fuel hat.
