Gday guys, after owning an r31 GTS for the last few years and building a turbo r31 pintara wagon, ive taken the reasonably big step accross to the stagea.

i get it on friday, i dont have any pics of it handy but its the white pearl colour and is a '98.

question i have is it has the in dash TV/DVD/tuner/tape thing that doubles as an air con controll touchscreen when u press the aircon button, im curious to know what i can do with this because most of its in japanese, and secondly i dont know if the tv will work or the dvd will accept australian dvd's ?? anyone know anything about this. i fiddled about with it the other day and managed to get sound for a tv station, but i really dont know what i'm doin as i cant read anything other then english. Any ideas people?

Cheers, Alan

Sorry Alan, the best info I can give you is go to a proffessional audio installer and ask them to help out.

Can anyone else here help out?

Either way; mate, how is the Stagea going? Happy with the purchase, looks, performance, etc etc?

Let ppl's know how you go...................

EDIT: oh, and a BIG welcome to you! :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

to play dvd's u need a NTSC to pal converter....unless they are multi region DVD's.

to get the FM station's to work you need a FM convertor.

Both items available from Jaycar l believe, as this is what l've been told l'll need once mine arrives in about 2wks.

Yeah, thats what Id heard about the FM converter (ie thru Jaycar for $22 roughly), but wasnt sure about the DVD side of things......

yeah l can't afford a new head unit atm....so for $22, its the way l'll be going.

at the end of the day l listen to my iriver 90% of the time, only use the radio for the short gym trip in the morning, and to find out the traffic when l leave uni later in the day.

Taking out my full Clarion stereo from my VR V8 BT1 commodore (for sale at bargain price, see the threads, got an offer of $7500 without the stereo but want slightly more!!).

Anyway, that comes out this thursday, so hopefully by next weekend I'll have the amplifier, 6stack CD player, headunit with tapedeck and new door speakers, installed into the Stagea.

As it is, I reckon the door speakers are crud, and the cd player in the current head unit is a waste of time, plus cant listen to FM as I havent installed the converter. Obviosuly not going to bother.

Oi, the $22 figure was a memorized figure, cant quite recall how correct that is, but Im sure thats the amount the FM converter costs from jaycar. Maybe buy the dfa at the same time!!

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
