Oekley doekley...

Don't get me wrong, Evo_Lee know more about Stageas than me... in fact I don't really know much about them at all, but what I do is pull up www.google.co.jp and click on "日本語のページを検索" (search Japanese pages) and then type in "Stagea", then all these links appear on the screen, then I click on the ones that have car info. Presto... a whole bunch of Stagea sites.

Bonus info: You can search for images by clicking on "イメージ "!

What I wanna know is, why can't you do that?

Sorry, my intent is not to flame, but finding info on the 'net is rudimentary and should be a piece of cake for a 21 year old.

Anyways, I've already found some links for you to try... even when I'm tired and cranky I can still be useful! :D

S.W.A.T Stagea Web for Advanced Tune

Randy Stagea

Tany's Stagea (and Pingu collection)

Autobytel-Japan info on the current Stagea

That should get you started...

Thanks rezz have actually spent entire day at work today doing just that and have found about 50 useful pages.

I thought maybe that there may have been some japanese search engine that gaijin dont know about that may have had more info ah well....

What i was actually asking for was not really for the websites but more if you or evo lee had any photos of modified or stock stageas.

i didnt mean to sound lazy i have been looking around on the net for a couple of weeks now and have found quite a bit of good info for my project. just thought i might ask for some input from some of our japanese members thinking that they may have some photos i could use and that they would be willing to help.

rezz i noticed you made a couple of posts in the general auto discussion section with some pics of stageas (see i can actually use the search button im not that slow) however the pics arent there anymore. is there any chance you have them on your hard drive still

anyway dont worry its not a big hassle i guess i should have worded my request a bit better.

Stageas...stageas...stageas...what do you wanna know specifically?

As Justin said most of the information is online...but as I said before there isn't a very big tuning scene in Japan for Stageas.

If I'm here for another year I told Justin I will pick up a M35 they are the shits!!!

You will notice the series 2 M35 just released with the new headlight configuration like the older Liberties...that's about all that has changed.

Stageas...stageas...stageas...what do you wanna know specifically?

As Justin said most of the information is online...but as I said before there isn't a very big tuning scene in Japan for Stageas. So you need to talk to the people in the know which is really only the mechanics here...no I'm not one but a mate of mine has a Neo version and we've been working through the tune for a while...

You will notice the series 2 M35 just released with the new headlight configuration like the older Legacys...that's about all that has changed.

edit: sorry but if you haven't heard me say yet, the M35 Stageas are the shits!!!

even without a fancy kit...

yeah they definately are the sh!t pity they would be so expensive landed in oz

ahh well will just have to put up with the wgnc34 then (its still a holden killer mmm sleeper tee hee hee)

basically i amtrying to convert some modification information and spec information into english to create a web site that can be used as a reference for people who are interested in stageas but have not got a good knowledge of the japanese language.

so basically stuff like pics of mods, pics of modded cars (like autosalon cars if they exist) or any good info on tuning etc...

if you have any pics that i cant find on the web i.e personal photos that you want to share that would be much appreciated.

also would like to provide a brief history of the stagea (ie origins and dates of production(found most of the dates online already tho))

if you can help or direct me to someone who has some more info would really appreciate it ;)

you can also bash around in the links section (it's a sticky) - there's lots of skyline owner links down the bottom (including the SWAT link that rezz provided) - there's bound to be something in there

also - learn how to use the car sales sites that are listed (car sensor, etc) - there you can check for new stagea sale listings and so on

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
