Hi all,

Just in time for Christmas, here's a pic of the Stagea I bought today at Auction.

After selling the R33 4 months ago......i had to get something with more room. Think this should serve me and the missus well. :)

Can't wait to drive it in the new year! ;)

:rofl:

Edit. Larger pics added

Yeh thanks guys......wanted the RWD cause it simply better on fuel, being over 100kg's lighter too.

If you can, ask compliance shop to keep your XENON HID bulbs and not cut the bulb harness in side the lights, which they probably will do...so you can reinstall them after compliance. Just went through the process of getting them back to original, not an easy job.

Yeah would like to keep them.....already onto a guy in Gold Coast for compliance....seems not to bad to deal with. No harm in asking

Howdy all....back finally after moving house and getting internet back on. Car on the road after a very enduring import process!! Car arrived bout 6 weeks ago and has been on the road for about a week and a half now.

Had to sort out a few irritating problems the Compliance workshop had given me, rear boot light was always on and self closing motor was nearly burning out due to this problem. When i picked up the car, the guy who done the work said that he had noticed this happening but did not know why????(did not do it b4 workshop got to it) So I drove off and delt with it for about a day. Eventually found the problem...they had fitted the child restraint bolts through the harness leading to the interior light grounding it out. NOT HAPPY!! Not easy to get to the wiring to solder a link into the harness let me tell you. Also loose plugs leading to the front headlights ,my exhaust hitting the gearbox and oversized tires scrubbing the guards not really satisfactory workmanship from this place in question.

Not wanting to name names...this Gold Coast compliance shop should take a bit more time and care with working on our cars as we pay good money for them to do a proper job.

My rant over I feel much better!! Here's a couple of more pics.....car runs really good and happier now that I've fixed up all the problems. Learnt more about this car in a week than I ever did with my old 33 in 3 years.

Will take a few more pics and add them as I go.....hope there's a Stagea cruise soon to come along too!!

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
