Hey all,

Just wanted to make a note that i just came back from a week away up the coast, packed the stag full of sh1t and smashed the prini highway, no overtaking lane wasted! we travelled through smoke (bushfires), torential rain, heat, twisty roads, straight roads and a stint on corrigated dirt road and the stag just ate it all up! what a car!! anyone whos thinking about buying one just buy one anyone whos thinking about selling DONT DO IT! :laugh:  RB26 power helps the enjoyment as does the manual, but a 10 hour drive was as comfy as ever...

anyway rant over

GO THE STAG!!  aiight bed time for me i think

How much fuel did you use? ;):)

it wasn't that bad.......... got anywhere from 410 to 580 k's off a tank of 98 depending on my mood and where the fuel came from. the car's completely stock too...

Well what's got me wondering is what the hell do you go to after you do sell your Stag.... It has crossed my mind a few times, (mainly in the close vicinity of fuel pumps).... but seriously, is there a car that can deliver as much value for money, and fun for the florin.... I doubt it..... now where did I see that GTR for $15,000!! (ha ha.... you call that a boot!!)

Having just sold my stagea (sad day) I can answer that question...but I do not believe there is any other car that can fully replace the stag on all fronts. It will be a compromise in a number of areas in order to improve on just a few areas. For me it was a case of going for a smaller and more economical car which is a big compromise on performance, space, and in some ways, comfort, but what I lose in these I gain in cost savings in a number of areas, and hopefully this will benefit other areas in life that have been lacking (ie. more money for short holidays etc).

I now own a 98 pulsar sss which is a great little car for what it is, but not really anywhere near as good a car as the stagea. The plan is to save money and pay off the loan and it will be a good second car later on ;)

Go the stag!! I drove ours interstate between Brisbane and Adelaide twice and its an awesome car to tour across Australia in. :)

I went the other way. I bought the Stag and sold my Liana. I've knocked off all my debts and can easily afford the fuel cost ... so why not a 6 cyl turbo? :) Flew to Sydney to collect it and drove it home, stopping overnight in Wagga Wagga and Mildura. Excellent car to drive, and overtakes with ease (and safely!).

well La...Di...Dah, Mr Multiple Stageas man! :P

I have a Toyota Chaser and a Mitsu Legnum (soon) whenever the Stagea is being worked on (more and more often now, as I go overboard). But I have had both a N13 SSS and a N15 SSS previously

I did the old 'buy a skyline 'cos they're cool' then realised i needed a boot, so i looked around for a vehicle with the performance of a skyline, yet the space of a wagon. I had one of the first Stageas off the boat I think. I'm selling it now, but not in any hurry so i'm still treating it like I'm keeping it forever

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.

      I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that.

      You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
