Speed magazine said it's pronounced Stayjah.

We all know how reliable the info in magazines is :D

I've always pronounced it Stay-jee-ahh.

As long as people know what you're talking about, then I don't think it matters all that much.

Hahahaha rofl if someone asks me what a stagea is ill tell them its a Skyline Turbo and Gearbox Wagon ;)

Thats Gold :)

I looking at the japanese characters for Stagea they can be broken down to 'Su' 'Ta' 'Ji' 'A' which to me sounds like Sta Gee Aaah

"STAY..........GEEE.............AHHHH"! is how my parts guy in Japan calls it dont start me on Subaru.

I had to laugh,

but HPI also pronounced it Stay-jah as well (possibly a bit more reliable than Speed ?)

We know what HPI is like and half the writers for SPEED write for HPI so no need to coment either way.

I'm confused. i don't know how to pronounce my cars name. some people say it differently all the time.

is the 'g' pronounced as in Gorilla, or as in Germany?

I believe it is pronounced 'Stay-Jah'- Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds right, and I have hears others say it like this aswell

    • Definitely a good “future upgrade” option if you plan on keeping the car and dialing it in even further.
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
    • Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
