Whats your stagea like??? What did it cost?? Im looking at buying 1

I love it!!

Auto is a bit crappy I think, it sometimes searches for second, but if you put it into tiptronic (I have the R34 Neo) that solves that issue. Will look into getting an aftermarket Auto ECU one day. Oh, or spend another 10k and get a manual.

I set a budget of $16,000, that is total price imported, shipped, complianced, delivered to Hobart.

This was highest auction grade possible for that age vehicle, and was perfect inside & out, slightly hish Ks at 88,000, but no wear at all to be seen.

I think the coil packs have gone, but i havent serviced it and it still on the original platinums so its prob just the plugs. Really love the twin sunroofs.

With the exchange rate at the moment this car would have cost 15K by the way, they have really come down in price recently.

Aha, the beauty of a Stagea, not only practical but AWD, its a Nissan, RB25DET.... Why didnt they make a ute out of it????

Just to bring up a previous conversation, it looks like the Stagea Ute has been built, I quite like it, kind of pointless, but funny anyway:

Did you import yourself or what company did you use??

It was through JDS auto here in Hobart, once you set the budget, they know how much Yen they can spend, and they search the auctions. They emailed me a heap of cars, and i said which ones to go for.

Nice. Do they have a website that i can look at???

www.jds-auto-imports.com

There was actually a S2 for sale down here recently, not sure what happenned to it.

JDS have (or had, not sure if still there) a S1 with leather and sunroofs in stick in Hobart showroom, think it was 13K or close to it.

Thanks for that. I will have a look. I dropped in there a few months ago and they had a yellow stagea in the window.

Thats Blakes dad's car, very nice set of wheels.

I'll shoot you a PM for a great Stagea that i know of for a great price :P

    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
