Did The Stagea Come Auto/non-turbo?

[BoostdR32]

Hey all,

Just querying whether the Stagea ever came out with an auto and non-turbo version of the car? Might be looking into getting one, so just wanted to find out what options we had.

Cheers

Not able to be imported in Aus, but yes, that combo existed.

It exists, but it dosen't meet the power to weight ratio restriction for australia (ie its too slow to be considered a performance car as per SEVS regulations).

I have an N/A Stagea. Wanna buy? One of a kind!

[BoostdR32]

Out of curiousity what would you be asking for it AMS?

Actually, how does it run etc now that its N/A?

Get better fuel economy or you just dont drive it.

You had it for a week or two man, well done!

They even came with the RB20DE. Man that would be sluggish.

Later models (after 2000) came with the VQ series V6. The VQ25DET gets 400lbs/ft of torque!

Only really driven it once... Not hard though, the noise of the turbo grinding is awful. It is soooo slow! Ahhh! I could not believe it. The performance is shocking... eww

Even worse was the RB20E package SOHC 2.0L hauling a station wagon... only available in RWD as well... with a blistering 95.62 kw
