Car : 1997 Nissan Stagea 2.5XRS 4WD :D Auckland , New Zealand

Hello Guys and Gals,

Just about to purchase this little baby (link below) and thought I'd join in this OZ forum seeing as my google search of Stagea brought me to my home forum of skylinesdownunder and then they sent me here !!!!!!

Its basically my wifes car for work (yeah right!), but I always wanted a "real" Skyline (after owning a Supra in the UK for 3 years) so this is a great compromise, with plenty of boot room for tents, bikes and roof rails for surf equipment !

Car is mint inside and out, with just a slight respray on the front lip - probably from a scuff.

After looking around for pricey Legnums and tatty Legacys this one just jumped from nowhere and we didnt look back! Wife picks it up this weekend in Auckland , I'm in Christchurch till Mid Nov then I get my hands on it when I'm back there!

Cheers peeps,

I'm going to be setting up a Stagea website with links and details and members area in the coming weeks/months and probably attend a few meets too.

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
