Nice to see another red one.

I'll be bringing the Stagea down for the Sakura picnic. Anyone interested in meeting up beforehand? I think it will be the type of event where if you don't come in as a group it will just be park where you can. It would be nice to have a bunch of Stags parked together so was thinking maybe meeting at one of the Bunnings nearby (Preston or Thomastown). It starts at 10am and says cars must be in by 11am so maybe meet at 9:30 to give plenty of time for latecomers. Thoughts?

Link/details? Sorry I'm not on Stalkbook.

This looks like a good meeting point: https://www.facebook.com/events/850686655047534/

Centre caps done.

Yeh, I think being Easter Sunday is the killer. I'm happy to change the date if it means more than 5 cars.

So after having this at Christmas, I thought it was time to invest in a cargo barrier, but rather than getting someone else to do it for me (where would the fun be in that) I thought I'd have a crack myself. So off to my local tip/recovery yard where I found a second hand one that sort of fit and another one for some extra bends, mesh and the plastic grommets that the child seat straps go through. $10 each, can't go wrong! Out of interest, I sent an email with photo to Milford asking them to identify what car it came from to which they replied, "We don't know, it's too old and we strongly recommend you don't use, modify or sell it". Challenge accepted. So out with the grinder and MIG. Once I had the shape I was after I spent a bit of time working out how I was going to mount the thing. At the same time, I was putting in the damper adjuster extensions for my MCAs and thought maybe I could tie it in to the mounts to make like a rear strut brace (to help stop the MCAs from coming through the floor ). Final step was to get it powder coated in "hammer grey" for $40. Sixty bucks all up, happy days!

This would be a good finish point: https://www.facebook.com/Bendigo-Motorfest-349522778583331/ Heaps of other stuff on in Bendigo over Easter including Corvette and VW car displays. https://www.bendigoeasterfestival.org.au/whats Or come and see Maralyn: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/supersized-marilyn-monroe-sculpture-goes-up-in-bendigo/news-story/87952a2b9170d67fc1377c134b07b9c0 Does it sound like I'm trying to sell Bendigo much?

I'll drive my Datto and the wife can drive the Stag, that makes 5.

The more important question is, when they stop making Commondores in Straya and start importing Chevys and putting Holden badges on them will bogans still put Chevy badges on their Holden badged Chevys?

As opposed to the 27th being the long, long weekend that is easter, you tool.In saying that, I'm still good for the 27th.

I'd pay the extra for a genuine bearing but you will need a press if you get it without the hub. http://justjap.com/genuine-nissan-front-wheel-bearing-assembly-nissan-stagea-nm35-4wd.html and this: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/404496-diy-m35-front-wheel-bearing-replacement/ Not too hard if you're handy on the spanners.
