Hi guys, I've just purchased a Nissan Stagea.

I've had a Toyota Soarer for about six years so now it's time to learn about a whole new marque!

My Stagea is a 98 RS4S, black, manual so looks like a big old hearse haha. Has some light mods but won't be doing much to it, want to keep it fairly tame and reliable. Will post some pics once I get a chance to take it out for a shoot!

Sounds nice :D

I'm pretty new to the Stagea thing myself, but they're a great car.

cheers

Good to see another here. Was this this one advertised on CarSales?

Yeah it was. It has fairly high ks but drives well. I'll get the 200,000km service done a bit early just to make sure she's all ship shape as it turns out I might be moving to SA so will probably drive it across the Nullarbor - not a place you want a breakdown!

The interior did need a good clean out as ithad been a bit of a family car, got a lot of the kid muck out but unfortunately the seats are a little stained in the back. Might look into either dying some sections eventually. it's nothing too tragic in the mean time.

Also need to investigate a better option for the amp install as it currently takes up the right side rear passenger footwell.

It also has some 19 inch rims on it and while they look really cool the ride is affected quite badly. I might return to the stock 17s it came with.

that stag is very nice. plus wheels suit it nicely. very clean.

Indeed 18th and 19th is the Perth round of Track Battle & ADGP, meet and great cruise to the track :P

hell yeah im down for it. meet and greet at ADGP for sure. anyone SOR wonna cruise up to barbs?

I don't know if anyones interested but I have a 98 series 2 stag for sale. Needs a couple of things but it's pretty good price considering... factory manual, r34 gtr wheels.. its in forsale section here for 5k

here are the latest pics of new paint job almost done :) just needs pearl over the top:

looks awesome dude will be pretty epic in the flesh once its finished... Who was doing the paint ?

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
