I saw a red Stagea this afternoon after work, it was parked right outside the JB Hi-Fi in Church Street in Parramatta. Number plates were STA-63-A.

I was gonna yell out the window, but the guy looked kinda busy with the driver's side rear door open, as if he was putting a seatbelt on a kid or something. By the time I'd turned around and found a spot, jumped out and walked down to where he was, he'd gone. I would have asked him if he knew about SAU, and/or if he was on here...

I could have taken his spot, too - wouldn't that have been the strangest co-incidence, a Stagea taking the parking spot of another Stagea.

my first stagea spot was yesterday at the corner of princes Hwy and Narre Warren Cranbourne Rd in Narren Warren VIC...

last place i thought i would see one but hey it was nice..

Marrone/red and from where i was (inside At work) seemed to have Wheels and i think a dayz spoiler and some skits but could be wrong

hehe, i'm getting the opposite, my girl is trying to convince me to get a skyline again. she doesn't like the wagon much, well not for her to drive.

Not sure why - it's a pretty similiar drive! Why doesn't she like the wagon? It can't be size - there is only 10cm difference between my R34 and S2 stagea, can't be power - they both move pretty well, etc etc etc....

The main difference I notice is the turning circle of the stagea - it is noticeably larger - probably due to the front wheel drive limiting how much the front wheels can turn...

I've told her numerous times that's there's no size differnce, but that's the only argument she sticks with. i think it's an illusion with the back of the wagon, that's all.

Well turns out i'm getting my old R33 back for a bit now, my brother is heading overseas and leaving me with it to sell, than i'll have his mighty chaser to putt around in as well, should be fun

I occasionally see a white Stagea with white Rays G-Games rims on Mowbray Rd at Chatswood.

Very nice.

Hey, that's my new beast !

I'm glad you like it, it's been a while comming.

The only drawback is that it's an automatic.

Will post some pics soon. :)

Spotted a series 1 silver beast coming out of Shailer Park State School, bout 8:45am this morning. Looked stock except for these FAT side skirts with HUGE air scoop thingies that ran nearly the length underneath the rear door :)

I waved, but it was some older guy who gave me a wierd look, maybe because I was in a shirty old ford falcon EA.... oh the shame!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
