Sa Cruise

[Tangles]

Hiys, had a SAU Sth Australia cruise yesterday (Sunday 19th), I was the sole Stagea out of maybe 30+ Skylines. Nice.

See the SA section, sticked thread title Feb Cruise, pages 17 onwards for photos; I left a tad too early so was only in the 1st lot of photos down by the Victor Harbor foreshore.

Nice to have a Stagea there in the pack tho heading down to Victor from Adelaide, overtaking Porche's & all that!

Seriously considering a Autech 'GTR' Stagea now tho! Sell the bike & wifes car & inport another Stagea (2 for the family), lol.

I thought you couldn't drive manuals though? get someone with an auto and swap the gearboxes over, have an auto GTR stagea

Id make it a 3 seater as such, extend the seat rails & put in the smallest sized 'legal' steering wheel possible.

Id fit that way, and if the knee ever gets too sore Ive got the Auto Stagea sitting in the garage - that'd be the main family car, and the Autech would see maybe 5000kms a year.

My right knee has had 6 surgeries (3 MAJOR) and the left knee has had 1 cleanout so far (due for another).... so I could possibly get away with it.

Yeah, itd hurt the legs now & then, Terminal, but hell after seeing like 6 or more GTRs in opperation, well, I wanna Stagea version of one now, LOL, even sacrificing my ultimate pleasure of bike riding to do so.

Aim: within 2yrs maybe?

Pg 19, 3rd post, final picture.

Sorry, I left earlier than the others. So missed out on more photos wife was REAL narky so I was lucky to even get there.

Ive got a heap of pics on my mobile phone.... I'll see if they are any good.

Hhhmmm, maybe I'll be ok with $3k on a hiflow, injectors & retune, $3k for full suspn package & some front rotors, and $1k for 17inch rims & tyres... and do without a Autech for a little while.

YEAH, bugger it, want 200-220awkw, with handling & braking to match. Bike is going to have to go!

$12grand for sale, with 7k going onto the Stagea

OR sell wifes car & bike for $12k each and borrow another 25k against the house for an Autech GTR Stagea, with no more mods happening to my current Series 1.

Cant wait to get my DAYZ front bar... i need more flow

An Autech would be nice, but I am thinking that with 200awkw the car should be more then plenty for the steert and i can get an autech in a few years when they come down a little bit more..

YEAH very true AlexCim....

$7k of more mods (once bike is sold - Im CONVERTED!!) would be just nice.

That way would handle well, stop OK, and go faily alright with a GT30-internal hiflow from ATS.

But I reckon owning 2 Stagea's would be the bees-knees. One GTST based and one GTR based.

What can ppl tell me about the RS260 Stagea?
