Hi,

Time, patience, planning and money are the key ingredients to building a nice car and you've got a good starting base there. :)

Wow, snap with the bluebird... I had a series 2 wagon before my stagea, although I only had mine for about 8 years. I second the longevity of the bluebird, it takes a hell of a beating and keeps going (I did a twin SU carby + extractors conversion and it was going better when I finished with it then it was when I got it :() but I was in the same boat, I just didn't have time to keep fixing it, and I was getting jack of how much money I was putting into it.

Go the stagea, it's one hell of a trade up :cheers:

Got my Stagea today & been driving around the GC all day. Such an awesome car to drive, although filling it up on premium sucked at $92 for a full tank from near empty!! But still well worth it.

Awesome stuff, congratulations Adam :cheers: I remember that feeling... was about 3 months ago lol :(

About the $92... you say it is worth it (and I think it is too, paying say $20-30 more per week to drive such an awesome car), but the question is I guess.... will we both still think so in, say, 6-12 months?

Just sold the skyline and bought a stagea a couple of weeks ago from japan. its currently floating in the water somewhere between adelaide and Japan :)

its a '98 S2 RS4 V Dayz Edition, in pearl white.

has minimal mods:

Pod

Exhaust

Coilovers

17" wheels

cant wait for it to land here in adelaide... and get complied of course

Hi all, finally got my Stagea :) so I can introduce myself and say hello. My wife and I have picked ourselves up a '98 RS Four S series 2. It has allready been named the Banana :( due to the fact that it is bright yellow. We picked it up locally (Hervey Bay, QLD) as a private sale and I think it is one of only 2 or 3 locally. We also have a '98 SSS Pulsar N15 which will now be my wifes car when she gets her licence. Although after driving it the last day and a bit, I think I may still take the Pulsar to work quite a bit with how fuel is. The guy that we bought it off has a few extra's to give us like a nice new Front mount and a full stereo, has TEIN coilovers in a box in the garage that he took out because his wife thought it to hard of a ride, set of standard rims and we found 2 Japanese CD's in the back of the front seats. Bit strange driving around listening to songs in Japanese. Will be starting to detail it tomorrow provided the rain goes away. Have started searching these forums for things to do with it and the wife is allready shaking her head at me telling me that we can't get anything for it... Time will tell. Well that's about it.

Dave and Jess :D

Nice one, Dave and Jess, and welcome to the Stagea family!

99 S2 Yellow Dayz Neo Design. Never seen one before mine! What the hell is it?? Can't find it on Google!

Carbon Fibre everywhere! Dash, Head lights, flares, spoiler, rear window trims, console, intrument panel all Carbon Fibre.

3.5 Inch exhaust, Coil overs, 17's (white). Car looks pretty trick!!

We need to have a Sydney Cruise! How can we organise one?

Hi guys. Just joined not long ago. I am driving around in a 2003 M35 Pearl white Stagea RS Four Autech with 20inch wheels, dark windows, lowered with a 3inch exhaust system. I have to say its the best value for money car I have ever had. Also the fuel economy is impressive.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
