Hi all,

I'm from London in the UK and I've been the happy owner of a Stagea NM35 for the past three years.

I'm very much a novice when it comes to car maintenance but am really keen to learn and have been trying to keep the car serviced myself, learning through youtube and advice from mates etc.

I confess to having been lurking these excellent forums for the past three years too and have found some great tips and advice here, but realised it is probably time to join in, mainly so I can ask lots of questions!

Cheers all!

I've done literally nothing performance or visual with her yet, mainly as I'm broke all the time and am still learning the basics of servicing her myself.

So that being said, if anyone has tips on cost effective performance mods I can do, that would  be awesome hehe

Anyway, here she is (disclaimer, that's not my house, I wish! ? I was on holiday and the car looked particularly nice in the environment hehe)

I'm in Scotland right now and having driven around the fantastic Highland roads in a piece of shit Hyundai for the past few weeks I reckon your Stag would be a hoot on a road trip around the North.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
