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 :)

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
