I am new to the forum, and the topic says it all, really: I have a S1 Dayz - just wondering what constitutes a dayz as opposed to other variants.... I assume it is trim level, etc. I have auto headlights, a mild (factory) bodykit and leather trim. No sunroof, though.

A bit of background:

I live on the Gold Coast. My car is pearl white.

Mods: rb26 + 5sp conversion, Tomei cams, custom fuel system, Power FC, Porsche front brakes, GTR rear(r33). Whiteline/Bilstein suspension, R34 GTR rims, N1 turbos, Hks dump pipes, Fmic etc etc...

Goos to see there is an organised group for Stagea owners around...

Please excuse any stupid questions - I just want to know as much as possible about my car.

Muchos Gracias,

Mickey B

Post up some pics.. sounds more like you've got a 260rs... either that or a heavily modified Dayz

Will try to get pics up...

Car is definitely Dayz - my old man bought it as a stocker in Syd and had all thne work done by Envy Imports in Brookvale. He died last year, and I bought bthe car out of his estate - cheaper than buying a fresh one, and I know the history of the car. Anyhow... let's see if these pics work (dialup sucks!!!):

ok.... it's been 5 mins on 1 pic. will post others separately.....if this one ever finishes........

Porsche front brakes?????

No Wai!

Picsorban!!

Can't see them very well in the pics: I believe it uses Porsche GT3 front calipers and Ford Falcon GT discs with custom alloy hats (to fit my hubs). Rear brakes are stock R33 GTR - stops quite nicely - ABS still works ok, which was my major concern with much bigger front anchors...

twin turbo goodness! :)

Yeah - I don't see the point in going for a big single - the car has been dynoed at 297kw@wheels @18psi on the current turbos - with a very safe tune - still has standard internals... If I want a faster car, I'll buy something lighter to start with.... as it is, it's bloody fast for a Volvo family wagon. Fast enough for me for now......

oh and sorry to hear about your dad passing away :)

yeah - it sucked - crashed in the Blue mountains on 13th June last year in the Nissan XTrail we turbocharged - fast car - crap handling - was a complete fireball case - had to identify remains from wedding ring and dental records - at least he went out the way he wanted - he was a complete speed freak - as well as the xtrail and stagea, he had a supercharged BMW E49 M5, and hasd just put a deposit on a Porsche 997 TT.... Bummer that he never had a hoon in that beast.... But what can you do??

horrible way to go :)

whenever I feel like going for a hoon I always look thru www.wreckedexotics.com and seeing some of the high speed crashes there definately makes you think twice! my dad used to race formula 2 until his mate died in the same race he was in!

make sure it does not end " like father like son " ok?

That's the idea - I drive slow enough to drive Miss Daisy anyway - I want to head to the track - at least I wont cop a fine for speeding that way.... need a few things sorted first - like a decent wheel alignment. Before the year is out, though........

Holy Snapping Duckshit batman - those brakes are fu(kin HUUUUGE!

Sad to hear about your dad, dude! :thumbsup: Looks like he'd built himself a beautiful car (or a whole garage of them), shame he's not here to continue to enjoy it...

To answer your question, the Dayz edition is mostly just styling mods as far as my research goes. The front bar is the first give-away, mine has the standard bar as per the attached pic.

Auto headlights are on mine too, and I think they're standard across the range as well (or at least across the higher-spec ones we'll ever receive in Australia). Have a look at the Buyer's Guide, it should give you a decent idea of what options most Stageas have - unfortunately I haven't had a chance to update it for a while.

I don't think anyone actually answered the question.

DAYZ is a a large Stagea Dealer in Japan, really LARGE. So big that they can order unique options direct from Nissan, as well as "dealer fitting" some.

DAYZ have various levels of options, although I have never seen any mechanical upgrades. More like spoilers, side skirts, trim colours, ICE etc. While Autech are the ones who do the mechanical stuff, RS260 being one of their efforts, as well as 4 door GTR's.

As an example, mine had a DAYZ front bumper and a rear spoiler as well as the DAYZ badge on the tailgate. Since then I have acquired a set of DAYZ side skirts to match.

;) cheers :)

    • Because all parts that are put into your papers usually are assigned a badging if they did not come with one. So other people can just check that badging to tell if it is the parts your papes outline. But my pipe has NOTHING on it whatsoever. No idea why this even passed as a Mines pipe to begin with. I see this going two ways: -nobody cares and it's a non-issue, but that is unlikely -the pipe will just have to be assigned a bagding, for sake of argument, a Mines logo, and the papers corrected accordingly If it interests you I will post what the actual solution ended up being. All I care about is that it has to sound equal length and nobody can screw me later on because of a pipe being illegal.
    • The fasteners to the pipe are not subject to TÜV I guess, if we really start putting nuts and bolts through technical tests I'm going to hang the people responsible and then myself. Usually on a modern-ish EU normed car, you would just replace the pipe. Because if you start hacking away at it and welding new pieces on the cops will definitely find a reason to tow your car. That is just how it is sadly. On old cars and imports with no clear "standard" stuff like that won't matter too much. Most cops or inspectors probably won't even really know what they are looking at. But there is experts for this stuff even among cops, and some of them know the rules to a T and even have extensive knowledge about many vehicles. For "just a pipe" to be legal it usually is included in a set of parts, like a complete intake kit or a full exhaust. For example my exhaust needs to pass a noise test, meaning they have a standardized test track with a set of instructions and they run the car through there 3x for an average noise value that is 75dB(a) at point x of the test track. If it's above that, fail. For a turbo setup to be put in your papers you have to do dyno runs, emissions testing etc. So quite costly
    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
