^obviously don't read here enough

the sale fell through

to be honest choosing a stagea to be a drifter when you already have two cars seems like you're making hard work for yourself grant, but at the same time it's bloody cool in my eyes.

no one seemed to complain and say it was a dumb idea in this post..

from what i understand grant has some pretty decent power mods planned.

i don't really get why people need to give their 50c every time grant makes a post though? there's other threads with people putting 20x7 (offset not mentioned) chromies on their stagea and people just go on their merry way and answer the question!?

ahh well

i read your post again and it does sound pretty silly, u think u are the only one who bought it to be a high performance car. How about spend less on visual/show parts and buy some engine mods. You mean u want yours to "look" like a high performance car. Ive spent about 4 times the price of my stagea again on performance mods and havent even touched the rims or any bodykits or stuff that doesnt make it faster, or perform better. RBNT and rb26stagea have done the same so i dont know how u can think your lightly modded rb25 is the only performance built stagea.

i agree with rb26stagea your opinions do come across as confrontational

i hope this doesnt offend im just stating my opinion

and i said track car i believe..as in drive on teh track and not a straight line

do i need to post my mod list?

300-350hp is plenty for my application which is my goal

The only thing not done is the turbo installed....

and i neither have put a body kit on it

but 9inch wide wheels to help it grip in the front better

But you guys are building it slightly different

your building it as a fast straight line car (from waht i can tell)

Im building a drift car....two different worlds

i dont need the power yall do.

and forrester stuff like i promised

this was in no way of an attack, or witty way to f**k with you guys

i was genuinely wondering about it

and unique

2 or 3 people in the stagea section spending that much cash on their stag, puts them in the same league as me, rare apparently

no worries Grant i must admit i havent been regulary visiting the stagea forums for a fair while and only knew bits and pieces (and heard u sold it at one stage). Ive been on these forums since the first couple of stagea owners and i think terminal is one of the longest members on here still with his car, the rest have sold up and moved on. I joined way back in october 04 and had the car for 2 weeks before i did the rb26 conversion and the snowball has gone from there. Ive had many usernames over the time due to the moderators in another section and some workshop issues but thats all in the past and they dont want to let me forget it lol.

jasevr4 i thought forums were about having opinions? sorry if i dont read this forum like a bible and know every single millimetre of detail :)

zo are you going to tell all the guys with chasers and other 4 doors that drift, and build them that they arent sports cars as well?

Its a Sport wagon

not a ford escort wagon

or a festiva

And i disagree with the travel distances

I have constently put 2-3,000 km a month on my cars

there are MANY 4 doors and wagons (forester anyone?)

that are built to be race cars

many

Do not mention the (f) word.

My Stag is a virtual stocker. The S13 is the highly modded drifter.

I read somewhere that Nissan built the Stagea to combat the inroads the turbo Legacy was making on sales in Japan.

Have you ever seen a race Legacy?

At what level Hugh?

Because I've seen a lot of Legacy's, WRX hatches, Foresters used as club rally cars and as club circuit cars, and on just the track only Stageas and Legnums too..

each to their own

horses for courses

different strokes for different folks

etc etc

keep at it Grant me boy!

and no, you cant groom me for online 'chat' sessions :laughing-smiley-014:

As a "touring wagon" with style, functionability and a bit of grunt. Remember I got rid of my Forester caus it was the worst vehicle I ever bought. I bought the Stag so we could be a Nissan SSS family. Stagea, Skyline and Silvia. We also have a Patrol.

I think the reasons Stageas are not seen much as rally cars is that they are too heavy and if bent cost a motza to repair.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
