I clocked on 18 in april,

Last year or so I started and run a business with help from my parents and sell over the internet, on eBay actually. My postal runs are quite large ($300 each few days) and therefore i carry a lot of sheit. Also, i always need to just carry stuff around in general, i am one of those garage sale/auction lovers, soo

-> hence, wagon

Plus, i want to be different. I dont want a skyline, 180, silvia etc just because, its so attractive to the police and also EVERYone has one (well not really, but get the idea)

I understand the disadvantages of starting with my base platform as a wagon, but i cant wait until i get it handling a bit better, bit more power, bit better braking and a bit sexier.

On the up side, depending how long i keep this car, i wont ever get the "honey, sell your car, its too small" later in life. So if i sink $50k into the car, at least i can enjoy it for many years to come without fear of spousal resistance

Oh, funnly enough, my girlfriend didnt like the stagea at first

"It looks like a herse!"

Now, we wash to together and she is the one saying

"Damn it looks sexy"

I'm 26.

Long story in regards to purchasing, but basically due to my job I carry around a lot of equipment (well more big stuff like studio lighting & such) and need the space (and security) the stagea offers, that and it wasn't a commo!!! :unsure:

AC, whats your ebay username? Im always buying off ebay, perhaps you can start to specialise in Stagea's, for all of us.......? :unsure:

28 next month, 1 wife so far, a little 2.5yr old man, and a negative 3month old (due in January). Add in the little man's dog, and the wagon becomes the 'mature' choice.

Doesnt mean I cant enjoy mod'ing it tho! I cant get over just how good a car it is (and I didnt call it a wagon, as when you're driving it, it doesnt feel like one)!

My username, heres my shop

I will always take opportunities to do business, just at the moment due to the lack of numbers selling stagea stuff just isnt worth it... + i do home products.. :)

your ebay link does not seem to work? user name?

I'm 22, but got the wagon when i was 21. i've been in love with the stagea since i found what they were after i bought my R33 and wanted a station wagon again (my first car was a kingswood wagon V8)

All my mates thought i was crazy buying it, and my girlfriend says it looks like a hearse too, but now she likes it because of the attention we get in it.

Oh....the other reason l got my car was so l can carry my dogs about......american staffy & a Ridgeback X need the space of a wagon when travelling!!!

thats as close as l'll get to kids for quiet a while!!

younger than i thought, gotta love the staj and its no comparision to a commodore for driving comfort, the stagea has about 50mm thick floor deadening under the carpet and commos have about 3mm thick wool haha :)

2 sunroofs are the best feature ever :)

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
