Hey people,

been looking for something with a bit more room to carry diving equipment, surfboards, immigrants and things like that as the skyline doesnt carry them very comfortably, specially with any form of passenger. So im thinking a stagea is the way to go.

The only problem is, i need to sell my skyline first before i can really start looking for a stagea :w00t:

So hopefully all goes to plan and i manage to sell the skyline.

and if you know anyone that is looking for a skyline, let them know :D

Im in adelaide, and if anyone wants to see my skyline here is the link:

car for sale thread here

Sorry if this seems off topic to be in the stagea section, but there were people complaining that you had run out of things to talk about, so thought id just post this :O plus the quicker it goes, the quicker i get a stagea and who wouldnt want to help another future stagea owner :devil:

Thanks

(hopefully a future stagea owner)

mate thats a nice 32. Good luck with the sale, hope you end up getting a decent stagea. there is one for sale for fairly cheap in the for classifieds, and S1. Very affordable.

PS damn another one! i was hoping these things would stay i lot rarer and more exclusive for a lot longer...

Do what I did, trade yours in when you buy a stag, and sluggish, mine had a lot more get-up-and-go than my skyline had :wave: BUT mine was very heavily modified when I bought it, which helps :wave:

Good luck on the search!

Oh and manual ftw!

My Series 2 just got a bit better today with the split dump pipe and a full 3" hi-flow exhaust. It has a nice note to it now, and feels a bit smoother through the revs. Not having had a 33, I dont have much to compare it too, but I like the practicality of the Stagea and the fact that there they are much rarer than the now ubiquitous Skylines. Now its got the sound to go with the looks too, which is good. P.s. If you want to get a bit more squirt off the line, go the manual, but the tiptronic is just as good once you get going - The tiptronic is great through the twisties. :P

Wont somebody answer the man's questions??

Here goes: the boot is 94cm at the strut towers, 138 at the widest, 80cm high and 110cm from the back of seat to tailgate. If you lay the seats down then you effectively double the length - just perfect for transporting immigrants.

And now for two questions of my own....

what does FTW mean?

Goldzilla - what the heck is that up your exhaust?

FTW = For The Win/World, i.e. basically proclaiming to be the best of whatever...

The thing in the exhaust is the restrictor, but I've lost the grub screw for it so never have it in anyway... It feels strangled when you drive it with the restrictor in and didn't provide any fuel savings, so after the first week I never bothered to put it back in.

Thanks for that,

Doesn't seem big enough for what I was thinking so im sticking with the current arrangement.

Was think of a better way of moving my kart than a trailer, it will go down to nearly 120 wide, but thats about it and still 25cm too wide.

HAHA, im sorry, id like to think they will stay fairly rare for a while aswell, maybe i'll try find one localy :).

Id love a manual, but we'll see how the funds go :P

If no-one tries to see how many bodies they can fit into a stagea, i sure as hell will! :) and i'll get pics aswell :D

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
