Spotted a sweet looking white Stag with black graphics down the side and got a bit of a wave this arvo in the North-eastern area.

Yeah which Mazda dealer do you work for Bec? The CX7 is not too bad .... I much prefer the build quality and after-sales support of Hondas, but might have my arm twisted if a premium black with black leather CX7 came up with under 30,000km at the right price.

Guys, unfortunately the wife wants a bigger SUV style car (for children transportation), so V35 sedan and Stag are out (she currently has a Honda Accord Euro Lux, which we bought new).

LOL, Andrew.......buy her a truck like mine and turn her into your regular soccer mum like my missus! :/

Hey Jeff, welcome aboard mate.

Which dealership do you work for and what's your position there if you don't mind the question?

yeah i wrk at main north nissan. qualified mechanic. i talked to the gtr mechanic after i read that post about the kid driving a 35. apparently the young kid that picked up one at my work was getting a ferrari if he passed his year 12 exams. the 35 was just a temperary car. weather this is the same kid i don't know. now this i am jelouse of. hahahaha

dont think its the same guy cos me and dan finished school a few yrs ago (dan was driving the red gtr :( ) but all the same, wow.

Spotted a black 33 gtr on flagstaff hill road, at about 7.20am whilst i was on the bus. Had some sexy rims on it too.

and a silver 34, with gold BBS rims, parked on pirie street, at about 12pm or so.. XLJ- something

the stag is out? really? The M35 would be longer than the CRV. So the horizontal space would be more in the stag...whereas the CRV has more vertical space. If you dont like stacking things (and your kids aren't 3m tall) then you'll possibly have more usable space in the stagea. It'll even take a rear-facing baby seat no worries at all :D

As for rear seat room, its more cramped sitting 3 people in the back of my in-laws' toyota prado than my M35 stagea. And I can fit more in the boot without anything getting squashed. Not sure of the dimensions of the CRV but most of these 4WDs are actually smaller widthways and lengthways than a stagea.

Anyways, I'll take my "stagea fanboi" hat off now and leave you alone... :)

LOL

at least buy her a nissan, the GU Series V Patrols rock :). 4.8 litre with 5 speed auto, or go the powerhouse 4.2TD :P

back on topic

a rather confused look from Stol this arvo, gave him a flash on south road just afta 3:30

nah she doesn't want a real 4wd - just a pretend little one that is bigger than a sedan, but not so big as to be a bugger to drive around. Even the CRV is not that comfortable for long trips compared to the Accord Euro, so she is rethinking a bit. I am working on her for something like a Grange .... bigger than the Euro, but still a normal car, rather than a big clunky 4wd. We often do interstate trips (Warrnambool and Great Ocean Rd this Xmas), so really want some serious comfort. And she NEEDS all the important things that the Euro has like leather seats, moon roof, seat heaters, auto headlights, auto windscreen wipers, etc etc.

Dont do it mate, better off getting a Caprice. Highly inflated HSV prices for not a real lot more. Im with Bec, go a CX-7 or CX-9 Andrew

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
