1. Yeah the Stagea is a very good car. It's a bit on the heavy side but still a very nice car. A 2000 Model car is the Series 2 that has the NEO motor installed. you will get alot bang for your buck when it comes to upgrades/mods.

2. IMO Due to the weight the car has and the distribution of it, The handling is it's not it's greatest thing in the world. on standard height, the front end will want to float at high speeds. Get some good coilovers and it will help (check the suspension thread on here). The brakes are pretty good but if you want people tend to upgrade to R33 disc and calipers (check the Stagea Brakes thread)

3. Check the "Buyer's Guide - The Nissan C34 Stagea" thread and that will answer all your questions

4. I'm not sure on this one. I think you can't as the ATESSA system will start freaking out but one of the guys on here will be able to tell you

Do you have a pic of a the car you're looking at??

R33 brakes do not fit series 2 Stagea. You will need R34 brakes. Get slotted R34 rotors while you're there.

As above, coilovers (10kg front 8kg rear) and bigger sway bars will sort the handling.

Then fit a 2530 turbo, Nistune, zorst and you can get 200awkw with a good tuner.

:thumbsup:

Depends what you want to do with the Stagea.

1. They are definitely NOT a race car.

2. You don't have to change the turbo to get 200 Awkw.

3. You will have to have an afermarket tunable ECU or piggy back and boost it to 10psi.

4. No big probs with them, except rust under the side mirrors.

5. Std brakes are OK unless you are going to race it. If so change fluid, Braided lines, and stopper as Chuckie says.

6. I did 3 fast laps on Wanneroo raceway before the std brakes start fading, but then they went quickly, mostly a fluid problem.

7. The diameter (rolling circumference) of the tyres must be the same front & rear.

You can offer me $17000 on mine.......

1. satgea? unsure. stagea? yes.

2. braking could be better. handling is pretty good for a wagon, but plenty of room for improvement there also.

3. rust under passenger mirror. otherwise, no.

4. you may have trouble with this. ATTESA can be a bit fussy. just put the same size on all 4 - surely that's not too big a limitation.

Not only can there be rust under the mirrors but if the JDM owner(s) lived in a place where salt is used on the roads you can find rust in other areas,

Look at the undersides and check all the cad plated bits, this will give you a good idea.

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
