spot the stagea

I saw a red Stagea this afternoon after work, it was parked right outside the JB Hi-Fi in Church Street in Parramatta. Number plates were STA-63-A.

I was gonna yell out the window, but the guy looked kinda busy with the driver's side rear door open, as if he was putting a seatbelt on a kid or something. By the time I'd turned around and found a spot, jumped out and walked down to where he was, he'd gone. I would have asked him if he knew about SAU, and/or if he was on here...

I could have taken his spot, too - wouldn't that have been the strangest co-incidence, a Stagea taking the parking spot of another Stagea.

my first stagea spot was yesterday at the corner of princes Hwy and Narre Warren Cranbourne Rd in Narren Warren VIC...

last place i thought i would see one but hey it was nice..

Marrone/red and from where i was (inside At work) seemed to have Wheels and i think a dayz spoiler and some skits but could be wrong

hehe, i'm getting the opposite, my girl is trying to convince me to get a skyline again. she doesn't like the wagon much, well not for her to drive.

Not sure why - it's a pretty similiar drive! Why doesn't she like the wagon? It can't be size - there is only 10cm difference between my R34 and S2 stagea, can't be power - they both move pretty well, etc etc etc....

The main difference I notice is the turning circle of the stagea - it is noticeably larger - probably due to the front wheel drive limiting how much the front wheels can turn...

I've told her numerous times that's there's no size differnce, but that's the only argument she sticks with. i think it's an illusion with the back of the wagon, that's all.

Well turns out i'm getting my old R33 back for a bit now, my brother is heading overseas and leaving me with it to sell, than i'll have his mighty chaser to putt around in as well, should be fun

Spotted a series 1 silver beast coming out of Shailer Park State School, bout 8:45am this morning. Looked stock except for these FAT side skirts with HUGE air scoop thingies that ran nearly the length underneath the rear door :)

I waved, but it was some older guy who gave me a wierd look, maybe because I was in a shirty old ford falcon EA.... oh the shame!

    • You need the kit turbo taipan has shown you because that manifold ia designed have side feed injectors 
    • @johnnysr22 did you end up installing the little screen thingy and did it work ?>   
    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
