Cool, so he does all the leg work (compliance etc) and he has a contact in Japan i assume. Would love to know how it all goes if i haven't yet bought one for myself.

:whistling: I'm also in Adelaide and I'd be keen for some info on bringing one from Japan. Also does anyone know anything about Nissan Stagea RS FOUR V DAYZ edition?

:thumbsup: I'm also in Adelaide and I'd be keen for some info on bringing one from Japan. Also does anyone know anything about Nissan Stagea RS FOUR V DAYZ edition?

The DAYZ edition is, basically, just an option package with different body parts (front and rear bumpers, sometimes side skirts), and some extra interior options here and there.

just like to point out some slight errors in the orignal post if i may.

  • it is true in series 1 you couldn't get a turbo rwd, however, in series 2 you may get turbo rwd.
  • RS does not mean the car is turbo. X FOUR's came in turbs & non turbs with no mention of RS.
  • In series 2 the RS models had a prefix either V or S to designate turbo (S - turbo manual).
  • The TGKNRXA code on your firewall plate will tell you your model.

I have lists of these codes and would like to list them here but the forum wont allow formatting so

the table comes up as gobbity-gook. Any qusetions please ask...

Thanks for that!

Yeah, I have noticed that some of the info is incorrect, and just haven't had the time to correct and update the info as yet. Series 2 information was a bit hard to come by when I first made the post, so that's why most of the info only really relates to s1. Since then, I've managed to get my hands on the HyperRev magazines, and there is just enough info in there in English that I can reliably update what I've previously posted.

I think i am beginning to trust my odometer - so it looks likethere are a fair few legit low km's stageas around.

the stagea Differential can be changed out with any of hte following that i know for sure

S13

S14

S15

r32

r33

r34

Y32

Y33

C33

C34

ALl you have to do in ANY Of these situations is change the drivesahft input (22+mm nut) then use a puller to pull it off the shaft, install it on the new housing (from whatever model you chose) And make sure hte shafts are the same

My stagea has 6 bolt shafts, and so did the s13 housing i was using

lastly replace the rear cover with the stagea rear cover, unless your using an s14, i believe they are the same..same with r33

and its that easy

this opens up the option for used Diffs from many differnet venues to make it easier on eveyrone!

The DAYZ edition is, basically, just an option package with different body parts (front and rear bumpers, sometimes side skirts), and some extra interior options here and there.

yes, i have that package

has front, side, rear enhancements

as well as color keyed interior parts instead of wood

thats all that is different as far as i know

Hi guys,

Great site!

I've just joined sau as i'm looking at buying a 99'-00' neo rs4. Being in adelaide my options are only to look interstate for one of these. I'm looking at a 00' model with approx 83000kms with the asking price of $17000 down from $17900, is that reasonable? a 7yr old car with those k's might mean genuine k's? does anyone know a good contact in melb that won't charge too much to go and inspect the car before i fly over to look at it myself?

I'm also in contact with kamikaze motors in vic with getting one from them. what are they like to deal with? guy i spoke to seems genuine and told be he's sure they don't wind back their neo stagea's.

just want to add that thank goodness i discovered the stagea when the Boss mentioned that we're going to have to upgrade to a wagon! with a 2 yr old and another on the books for 08', the stagea will be perfect.... fingers crossed! it'll be the fastest car i've evr owned! lol!

thanks.

n.

I just recently bought my Stagea from Kamikaze (99 RS turbo RWD) odo read 46000 damn low for the age of car it'd be sus but the car is in showroom condition looks brand new inside and out and the guys were really good to deal :thumbsup:

Hello everyone. I am looking at importing a stagea to use as our family car. have any of you had any trouble fitting reversible car seats for babies in them. i've noticed that the stagea's dont have much room in the back seat. i have also been conserned about the fuel consumption, it varies so much from person to person. my wife will be driving most of the time and she doesnt have a heavy foot at all. if she doesnt boost it much around town would we get around 12l/100klms? also do the rwd models have slightly better fuel consuption?

Thanks guys :)

Hi, and welcome!

Firstly, let me say: good choice! The Stagea is a great car, and you will be more than happy if you decide to buy one.

As far as child seats go, have a look here. There are plenty of owners amongst our group who have kids and use child seats in them. Some of us even have THREE child seats in the back of theirs.

I'm assuming your '94 Camry is one of the "wide body" versions, and the Stagea is roughly the same size as that, maybe slightly larger. It's not quite Commodore or Falcon sized, but it is a much better car than those two in so many ways.

Fuel consumption is not really a highlight, unfortunately, as they're a heavy car with a turbocharged engine, but they can be quite good if you drive them smoothly and mostly on a light throttle. It might be slightly higher than what you've quoted, but that figure is achievable. The RWD versions are roughly 100-150kg lighter, so you *might* see some improvements there.

If you have any further questions, then do a quick search within this area of SAU - most topics have been covered at least once or twice each. If you're still unsure, then feel free to ask away!

Thanks for the reply Goldzilla, that info was very helpful. i am going to look into what models can be imported into australia. maybe if i can get a non turbo rwd model, it might be what im after. i want something along the lines of a commodore / falcon wagon but i dont want to use as much fuel as they do.

Hey Al

you need to get this one straight B4 you do any silly like put a deposit on one in Japan! YOU CANNOT COMPLY A NON-TURBO (in Aus). So keep looking. If you are really frightened of the using more fuel than a falcon then maybe this isnt the car for you. It is possible (so I am told) to get them onto LPG. Dont know of anyone whos done it yet though. I also dont understand why anyone would buy a Stagea and not opt for AWD. Thats one of their best points.

Very helpful section!!! saves a lot of questions form guys like me!!

How much would something like this be worth? Not available, but still. How much would it go for over here, what would you pay for it?

1999 RSfour S, Dayz, Wheels, suspension, 5 speed, 75,400km.

If only it were black...

If i find a car i like on yahoo auctions or similar, how do i go about getting it imported (shipped and complianced etc)? can i go through j-spec or is there someone else you'd recommend?

Thanks guys!

I am looking at purchasing a Stagea, but the amount of different options is mind bogling, I brought home tonight a 1998 RS Four, it has four pot front and 2 pot rear brakes similar to a skyline. (Is that standard for this?) it is RB25DET non NEO AWD, it also has a PS type reservoir in the RHS rear inner panel, which I would pressume is a HICAS system??? I haven't decided which option package I will go for, but I am certain I would like the black dash interior without the woodgrain finish, Am I correct in saying that, that interior is only available with the Turbo Models???? Sorry for all the questions but I was wearing out the search button :D

I can't answer on the brakes(don't think they're standard), but the fluid resivour inside the boot in the compartment on the right is for the ATTESSA awd fluid.

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
