I clocked on 18 in april,

Last year or so I started and run a business with help from my parents and sell over the internet, on eBay actually. My postal runs are quite large ($300 each few days) and therefore i carry a lot of sheit. Also, i always need to just carry stuff around in general, i am one of those garage sale/auction lovers, soo

-> hence, wagon

Plus, i want to be different. I dont want a skyline, 180, silvia etc just because, its so attractive to the police and also EVERYone has one (well not really, but get the idea)

I understand the disadvantages of starting with my base platform as a wagon, but i cant wait until i get it handling a bit better, bit more power, bit better braking and a bit sexier.

On the up side, depending how long i keep this car, i wont ever get the "honey, sell your car, its too small" later in life. So if i sink $50k into the car, at least i can enjoy it for many years to come without fear of spousal resistance

Oh, funnly enough, my girlfriend didnt like the stagea at first

"It looks like a herse!"

Now, we wash to together and she is the one saying

"Damn it looks sexy"

I'm 26.

Long story in regards to purchasing, but basically due to my job I carry around a lot of equipment (well more big stuff like studio lighting & such) and need the space (and security) the stagea offers, that and it wasn't a commo!!! :unsure:

AC, whats your ebay username? Im always buying off ebay, perhaps you can start to specialise in Stagea's, for all of us.......? :unsure:

28 next month, 1 wife so far, a little 2.5yr old man, and a negative 3month old (due in January). Add in the little man's dog, and the wagon becomes the 'mature' choice.

Doesnt mean I cant enjoy mod'ing it tho! I cant get over just how good a car it is (and I didnt call it a wagon, as when you're driving it, it doesnt feel like one)!

My username, heres my shop

I will always take opportunities to do business, just at the moment due to the lack of numbers selling stagea stuff just isnt worth it... + i do home products.. :)

your ebay link does not seem to work? user name?

I'm 22, but got the wagon when i was 21. i've been in love with the stagea since i found what they were after i bought my R33 and wanted a station wagon again (my first car was a kingswood wagon V8)

All my mates thought i was crazy buying it, and my girlfriend says it looks like a hearse too, but now she likes it because of the attention we get in it.

Oh....the other reason l got my car was so l can carry my dogs about......american staffy & a Ridgeback X need the space of a wagon when travelling!!!

thats as close as l'll get to kids for quiet a while!!

younger than i thought, gotta love the staj and its no comparision to a commodore for driving comfort, the stagea has about 50mm thick floor deadening under the carpet and commos have about 3mm thick wool haha :)

2 sunroofs are the best feature ever :)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
