My New Stagea

[Lone]

Well Ive started making a few posts and even threads on the forum here before putting up some info on myself and my new Stagea so here it goes..

A few of you might know me already, I used to own an Orange Toyota Starlet Glanza Turbo Replica (later model GT Starlet) that was featured in Fast fours a few months ago, heres some little shots of it, click on the link below if you wanna see some more on it. You might also know me because I run a few other car related sites such as the AU Starlet Club (owner/founder) http://www.austarletclub.com/ and also the Toowoomba Car Forum (owner/founder) http://www.toowoombacarforum.com/

Anyhoos I finally sold it and bought myself a Stagea, I was looking originally at a Chaser but the price of the Stagea and the features had me sold, I am a Toyota man but Nissan certainly made a good range of performance vehicles and I also like to own somethign different and Stagea won me, heres some details and photos on the car.. I bought the car stock as and have just recently added some of the new parts (exhaust, boost control etc.)

1998 Nissan Stagea

RB25DET Motor as standard

GTR AWD Driveline as standard

Full Black Leather Interior (photos to be added soon)

Full electrics including seats

Climate Control etc. etc.

BMC Panel Filter

3" Cat back exhaust

Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller

To be lowered soon

Im really loving the car and how well its responding to mods, I am hoping this weekend on one soon to run it down the 1/4 mile and see just how quick these things actually are..

Cant wait to see this section of the forum as Im certain it will with more and more coming into the country and seeing a lot more common knowledge on the cars over this side of Japan

very very nice photos, nice example you have there. Mine is identical to yours down to the wheels. Had been thinking about colour matching my door rubber trim (typically they are black from factory), and wondered what it would look like. So thanks to your photos I can get an idea on a real example rather than doctor up some photos in photoshop.

Great to see its given you an example to work with, certainly worth doing those door trims, make a world of a difference

Did a dyno run today and got 190hp at all four wheels

Now to see the figure that does count, 1/4 mile time, going down this saturday...

I just purchased my Stagea 12/98 model, Neo RB25DET last week from the Gold Coast and I too was looking at the Chaser as well but the price was too much compared to the Nissan. Took my new car for a spin to see what it was liked, left Gold Coast 0930 yesterday and arrived in Cairns 0630 this morning and shit it felt good but soon due for a couple of changes exhaust, fmic and some boost. Took a 97 model with cat back for a test drive before the Neo powered 98 and there is a noticeable difference between the 2 motors.

Really need to track down the fuse for the cig lighter tho :flamed:
