Seeing everyone talking about the bad things with their Stagea made me think what people actually like about them. Pick only four though

1. Im the only one in my estate of 300 houses that has one.

2. Its a bit of a sleeper.

3. You can fit anything inside

4. The looks I get in it everyday.

That is all.

1. I can punch the accelerator and get instant responce, or drop it down an gear and mash the accelerator and be thrown back in my seat everytime.

2. It's such a beautiful car to drive, corners like it is on rails.

3. It is versatile. Can fit 2 kids bikes, 2 eskies full of food and drink, and 5 adults and still get up and go like it's coming out of a slingshot.

4. It looks like a volvo, so even when I have had the BOV on full atmo, (wake the dead setting) right next to a cop car, I still have not had anywhere near the attention I got when I did own my R33.

1) I absolutely love the look of it (especially the headlights they are horn)

2) Its a massive sleeper

3) Its comfortable to drive everyday, extremely versatile, and still quick its not very often you find a wagon that has everything our Stagea's have and still have the performance we have

4) Its not a Skyline haha (no offence to skyline owners lol) :ninja:

1. the handles that fold down the rear seats from the cargo area

2. reclining rear seats

3. electric tailgate closer

4. best seats I have ever sat in (in a wagon)

5. lack of road noise at just about any speed

6. ability to chop up idiot P platers in commodores

7. the confidence 4WD gives my wife

8. turbo surge *drools*

I am going to stop now ......... ;)

All the above

The Colour, (Bayside blue)

The leather

The HALF WOOD steering wheel

Auto lights (xenon)

Electric seats (can't wait for winter to try the warmers)

CRUISE CONTROL

NEO engine

Tiptronic

4WD (another reason to welcome winter)

Body kit

Doesn't drip any oil

Climate control.

It's very unusual

The amount of people that actually read the badges and still shrug their shoulders.

The most comfortable and coolest car I've ever owned ;)

1. I love that there arent solid engine mounts

2. I love that it doesnt leak....yet

3. I love the torque over an SR

4. Electric seats

5. Interior design, very european

6. two sunroofs so i can be a video car

7. great acoustics for stereo

8. the lack of woodgrain

1) I absolutely love the look of it (especially the headlights they are horn)

2) Its a massive sleeper

3) Its comfortable to drive everyday, extremely versatile, and still quick its not very often you find a wagon that has everything our Stagea's have and still have the performance we have

Ah!, but it IS a Skyline. It was built in Factory 5, like All Skys, even going back to the Prince.

I love:

- The room

- 4WD

- Not everyone has one (although the other day there was mine and 3 others parked at work! All RS4's!)

- Build quality

- The look, with a nice kit and wheels.

- Price. They are fairly cheap in NZ compared to other wagons. They aren't 'cool' like Subarus or Legnums so are about 3 grand cheaper.

I think it is just a good all round wagon and the +'s outweigh the -'s overall.

  • 1 month later...

The fact I can fit 6 person tent, camp gear, bar fridge, double air matresss, all the food and drinks, 2 dogs (Cattle dog and Labrador) and still travel in comfort. Also with all that gear, it pulled up any hill with ease!!!

Got a few people asking about the car...they are like WTF is this. :laughing-smiley-014:

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
