Did someone say Navara?

Hi Duncan, Merry Xmas, do you have a Navara handy that you can measure the profile of the roof rails? Surely Nissan didn't make a unique profile just for Stageas:cheers:

Yes, very handy.  Exactly what do i need to measure?  It currently has roof racks on as well :D

You convinced my out of a Stagea so I got a navara to tow with instead ;)

I didn't think I was convincing you out of a Stagea, I really like mine. Except I can't find a decent tow bar manufacturer in Sydney. But that's not the Stagea's fault.

The standard Stagea roof rails are triangular shape. Using the verniers, they are 35 mm on the outside and 30 mm on the underside and inside. That's ignoring the rounded corners. Maybe compare that with your Navara.:cheers:

Sydney Kid, Thule make very nice racks to clamp onto the roof rails on Stageas, the good ones (aerodynamic) are about $180 per cross bar and then you can get heaps of 'bolt-ons' like ski, bike carriers etc.

Thanks, where can I get Thule stuff from? :)

Hi Prank, do they have a listing for Stageas? If not what did you ask for? :)

SK,

They dont have vehicle specific racks for roof rails, they just have different length bars to go across the roof rails, so if you go into a dealer, they will get you the one you need.

The Thule part numbers for the Stagea are as follows:

Thule Foot pack #755

Thule Aero Bar #861 (120cm bar)

The Thule International parts manual lists the wrong size bar for Stagea 97 on - it lists the longest bar which is too wide for the car. The above part number fits - I have them on my car now. Cost is around $250.

:D

Thanks for that, off to the local Auto One store I go......will post pictures when fitted.:D

S1 and S2 should be the same as the changes made to the car were cosmetic and any changes to the physical cabin structure would be too expensive to implement mid life which is why lots of cars get nose and bum jobs.

so in theory unless nissan was pouring money down the sink on mid life upgrades then yeah they should fit.

anyone post up a pic of the roof rack on their car pretty please :)

:(

:nyaanyaa:

I had 135 mm bars on my series 1 and accommodated a 6oo litre top box and a sea kayak if I offset the kayak to one side of the rails, using Thule kayak holders. This gave me no problems and I drove thousands of km's like that loaded up.

Now can anyone help me re the M35 and fitting a roof rack that is not the Nissan issue one?

I tried Thule and they have no standard fittings that suit. Prices are steep if I have to adapt a Thule but I wish to use my Thule fittings that I already have.

If I drop the $700 odd that I need for the Nissan one can anybody confirm that it is the satandard Euro sized bar and will suit my attachments? Or can I just get the roof fitting and use my existing bars?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just got a set of roof racks for my Series 2 Stagea and wanted to advise other owners that these fit perfectly;

"Jetbag" brand. Owned and made by Thule (Sweden), 3 yr warr

Model- Complete 6501

Black 126cm long with black foot kit

Lockable

75 Kg rating (very good)

Got them through these guys based in NSW - $105 delivered (less than 1/2 the price of ROLA, THULE and the other major brands).

http://www.roofrackworld.com.au/

More info here.

Apperently the same as the current model Toyota RAV 4 with roof rails.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
