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!!

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
