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

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA.

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      By Duncan · Posted

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Fourth gear grind

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
