hey mad wagon put a link up so we can access straight away and not go looking for them

:werd:

oh yeah, and you might wanna touch-up the photos and re-post them, 'cos they're really dark.

Other than that, car looks sweet!

Did you buy from a dealer or broker?

Story goes something like this.......

Driving along Ferry Rd in my '96 Magna and stopped at yard to check out imports, hoping I might find an affordable Liberty wagon. After glancing round at some Delica's, Lines, Soarer's, FTO'S etc. Next to Soarer was this green wagon with some weird badge on the grille. "What is THAT?" i think to my self. 'RSFOUR' hmmm, sounds promising, 'STAGEA' :uhh: STAGJI WHAT!!!

Had roof racks, a must on performance wagons i rekon, mad foggies, looked mean, two sunroofs, LEATHER INTERIOR, :crazy: , POWER WINDOWS, MIRRORS, TURBO 4WD!!!! My GODDD..... aggheemmm

Anyway, $26,000......

Drove off...couldn't stop thinking of it....

Went to get some paint on Bris. Rd, near there yard with even more imports and 4 'STAJIFINGIES', and different colours.....Only one had leather, 44,000k's, new tyres, no scratches, $24,000....neg. to $20,000 cash inc. 3yr war. and 6mth rego.

tbc.....gtg oz fair movies, gf wants to 'go out' pfftttt...... :wassup: i just wanna drive ittt

Hahaha, good story :rofl:

Today I got two people asking me what sort of car it was :rofl: One bloke went right out of his way to weave in and out of traffic to pull up next to me to ask me questions about it. He said 'what's in it?' I said 'turbo straight 6 4wd' he replied 'ahhh, it's going up against the new Audi A4's and Volvo S70's'.

I replied 'naaa, their a little too late, this is a 1997 model'... His jaw just dropped :rofl:

Mad wagon - did you put the intercooler kit in ? what size is it ?

I want to get plates saying NO VOLVO, I also live the second looks you get and everybody ask's what the hell is that, I just say Skyline wagon with 4WD, nice and simple.

Looking to sell Tein coil overs, any offers as I have some 20" Budnik's comming soon so I need to put standard suspension back on to give nice height.

It sits low whith coil overs, nice off set camber all round if you want.

Those R34 rims look awesome on your stagea. that's the sort of rims i want ot end up with once i get mine. I'm going to the goldcoast for indy in October, looking to buy one then.

None of my mates know what i'm talking about when i tell them i'm getting a Stagea. Skyline wagon seems the easiest way to tell them.

it used to be a 2.5 NA 4wd, its still badged as a 2.5 NA 4wd :)

That would be a great model to start off with, but they don't comply here. They are not really a high performance import, so DOTARS wouldn't let it off the ship. We only get RB25DET 4WD, mostly auto's, RSFOUR is my model. I haven't seen a fully complied 260RS yet, but there are RAWS working on the paperwork to get them complied.

Some pictures would be good :)

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
