did a little maintenance yesterday, reglued the sagging headliner and replaced the battery who can spot the hidden gem in the picture

Drove to work the other day, too lazy to take the train: Weekend wedding in Seoul:

Its a Japanese credit card, sorry for the late reply, but if y'all are free during golden week lets get a meet together I was going to send you mine LineID via PM but it seems I cannot access that function

Battery seems fine, voltage reading (via my headunit) shows a pretty consistent 13.8-14v May end up replacing the battery anyway, seems to be weak starting on occasion, assuming the headunit power is coming from the alternator not the battery I haven't done any wiring, however I'm thinking the nest of wires for the HKS EVC and Apex Turbo Timer left by the previous owner may be part of the issue

Just an update, finally got a 10mm spanner and checked the battery terminals, they seem to be fine. The power surge seems to be getting worse, or at least more noticeable now, stereo will cut out slightly when it happens, so I'm thinking it may be something other than the ATESSA pump.

Fit a refrigerator and washer in the back with no problem, unfortunately only got a picture with the fridge in there. luckily there was another chance to put a washer in there, a long with a chair and various other furniture my buddy picked up from a sayonara sale

Lexus GS doing some shopping a couple from a drive I took Saturday to Mt. Hakone via the Mazda Turnpike took car in for some service: cherry blossoms:

I guess I should start one of these, first some info about myself Living and working in Yokohama for about 1.5 years now (minus 6 months in Malaysia) 2nd time living in Japan, lived in Kobe for 10 months in 2010-2011 My Japanese is pretty terrible but enough to get by on Recently purchased 1998 Nissan Stagea Autech Version 260RS For other Japan pics and more frequent updates feel free to follow me on Instagram: @Wandering_Texan Renault Sport Spider Lamborghini Diablo Subaru Forester Toyota Century Honda Odyssey Datsun Sunny Toyota Estima Toyota Chaser Mazda RX-7 Toyota GT86 Toyota Prius Honda Accord Mercedes Benz E320 Toyota 2000GT

Is that a normal Sunday morning at Daikoku? I may have to pop over there sometime soon. Hit the Mazda Turnpike this past Saturday

I mentioned this issue in the "What have you done to your Stagea lately" thread, but figured I should continue it in its own thread instead of clogging up the other thread. I made a short video that shows the issue, you can hear the click at the beginning but the power surge isn't as apparent on the clock as I had hoped, but around 14 seconds it happens again and I believe the power surge is more noticeable on the odometer. https://youtu.be/OVl7TxaeoeM The suggestions thus far has been: Battery terminals ATTESA Pump Relay any other thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Changed all the fluids today, engine oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, brake fluid and coolant

Taking her in tomorrow for full fluid change, since the car didn't come with service records gonna go ahead and change oil, tranny fluid, diff fluid, and brake fluid Wondering if anyone might have some insight to a small electrical issue, every so often there seems to be a small power surge causing all the lights to dim. There is a clicking sound when it happens which sounds like a capacitor discharging

spent some time this weekend exploring, trying to figure out what mods were already on the car, so far I've found: Nismo Exhaust Nismo Air Intake HKS EVC 3 Apexi Turbo Timer Coilovers (brand unknown) Carrozzeria head unit waiting to hear back from local shop about doing a full fluid change/flush and to have them inspect the car in more detail

Normal, connected to my credit card

Big thanks to Duncan for running the VIN for me Stopped by the local Super Autobacs yesterday after work and picked up a mount to hold my phone so I can use it as a navigation and picked up some good ol' JDM squash air freshener. Phone mount on the left side, obviously no phone in it because I used it to take the pic and some cheeky seat belt covers that I've had in every car since I was 16, they were a gift from a friend in high school for my 16th birthday

sounds good, waiting on my ETC card lol

To bump your old thread, I'm living in Yokohama (out near Kamiooka station) and working in Minato Mirai I have yet to experience Daikokufuto, in the past when my friend tried to take me it was closed, so we went to Tatsumi and Umihotaro. delivered yesterday:

Found this thing waiting for me when I got off work today, freshly delivered from Sendai, Japan btw anyone have access to the Nissan Fast software to run the VIN for me? Just want to be extra sure I did in fact buy an Autech 260rs, all the signs point to that but just want to be 1000% sure

Got news that it was delivered to my place around 1pm today, its a Stagea Autech 260rs I've been extremely tempted all day at work to just take a half day to go play the only thing keeping me is that the weather is terrible haha lol definitely didn't notice you back there, but that makes more sense

Strangely enough I only knew about it from my friend's who came from the US for Tokyo Auto Salon, but they've got lots of friends in the automotive media world. I haven't even gotten my car yet (fingers crossed it should arrive today or tomorrow)

Safe to assume thats you in the red jacket in 32 as well then? haha I was probably pretty easy to spot ~190cm in a bright blue jacket. I didn't see myself in any of the posted video, but spotted a few of my friends who were in town from Texas.

As long as you're happy and enjoying it that is all that matters

looks good, but not sure how I feel about Mines exterior without any Mines parts though
