Nissan Stagea buildup thread

**YokotaS13** · 02-10-2007, 06:56 AM

Well the 180 is gone

well i decided to go for broke.
So i sold it and bought the new project car
1997 WGN-C34
Rb25det AWD Stagea
i love it.

when i got it it was stock
I put the Pioneer Deck in when i got it from my 180.

So far, ive done a few things
Silkroad RM8 Coilovers
some ghetto fabulous wheels
Rear camber arms so i can actually fit some wheels
Brake master cylinder stopper
intake
HKS bov

and this is how it sits now

I also have a Suede nardi to put in today
some 150mm length front springs to go lower (front is maxed out right now)

The plan is for some Fabolous, lock smithe, or something along those lines 18s or 19s. roll the fenders minutely, since the rear wont really roll well.
Aero, paint it,
then work on the engine
GT25, GTR fmic, GTR injectors, GTR fuel pump, downpipe, catback and z32 mafs.

i have like 4 grand to play with so, we shall see what happens
But I have a kit and paint in the works
Some 18x9 +24 and 18x10 -4 works in the plans soon also
I get the 4 grand from my car monday, so parts will be ordered

LoL, skyline wagons... great value from what i can see. Btw, did you use the camber arms to correct the camber, or increase it?

I didnt actually adjust them yet

I cant go any lower, im waiting on a fender roller to roll the lips. right now the rear rubs allll the time. and i dont want to lower the front and have a raked effect.

and so you know comparatively how low it is

It will go lower, just gotta roll some stuff, and pound some stuff so the 18s wont rub anything.
i cant wait to start ordering more stuf!!!

**sirkus** · 02-10-2007, 12:56 PM

Thats sweet as hell man... a wagon with an rb25det, it's just right.

**NAIZBST** · 02-11-2007, 01:17 AM

very nice!!!

**GTScoob** · 02-11-2007, 02:19 AM

Wagon with an RB25 and AWD sounds nice but it looks like a Volvo with a Lexus front end. I'm sure it'll be fast as hell and I'll watch this build up since I've never seen one of those but its a funky looking car.

**EJ_Allmota** · 02-11-2007, 02:32 AM

that car was always ugly to me since seeing it on GranTurismo2.. Good luck with it though...

**JITB** · 02-11-2007, 03:50 AM

im glad u finnally got something that u dont see in the US, i had one of those on Gran tursimo 2...lol

**YokotaS13** · 02-11-2007, 05:04 AM

thanks guys. just ironing out some air ride details and ill have an airride system that works with my Silkroad coilovers.

**Buford®** · 02-11-2007, 06:33 AM

Please give more detail on how you'll have airride with coilovers. Sounds really cool.

**Buford®** · 02-11-2007, 06:41 AM

It looks/reminds me of a Subaru wagon. No offence intended. lol.

1. Are both roof panels true sunroofs? Or does the front one stay stationary, and the rear one retract?

2. What's that switch by the transmission shifter? Different shift modes?

3. Are the door panels suede? Or cloth? They kinda look like suede to me.

4. Below the radio.. What are those switches? Looks like it would be where the HVAC panels would be...

5. How do you have air-ride and coilovers work together? Is it kinda like the Praxis system they have for the Scoobies?
I'm looking forward to seeing progress on this thing. Should be really cool.

Nah. I'm good. I'm just real interested because I've never seen anything like like this from Nissan before. It's a really cool car.

I wanna know the answer to this too. The Praxis system reviews very highly from Subaru guys as well as the BMW guys but it costs $3500 before install and is a very labor intensive install.

very cool ride, very original on here

**BTLFED** · 02-11-2007, 12:54 PM

OMG I love the Stagea! I think they are awesome!

In for updates!

**The Green Monster** · 02-11-2007, 03:43 PM

nice

i remember there was a photoshop pic of one with a r34 front end...looked sick!

**YokotaS13** · 02-11-2007, 04:47 PM

its not photoshopped
its a common conversion

**YokotaS13** · 02-11-2007, 09:55 PM

oh my bad

Its a self sealed bag that has a channel in the middle to go over the coilover to take place of the spring
THat way, you can leave it at a lower PSI and a stock type ride using the coilover as a shock, or if you want to throw some performance at it, up the PSI it makes a stiffer spring rate (you set up height with the spring preload collars and height with the base)

**GTScoob** · 02-11-2007, 10:09 PM

Is there an air pump installed in the hatch for on the fly adjustment?

**YokotaS13** · 02-11-2007, 11:39 PM

its a full F/B/S/S system

i am also opting for the wireless keychain remote for another 200 bucks lol

**down_shift** · 02-11-2007, 11:17 PM

I love the stagea wagons with the R34 front end. Gangsta as a wagon can get. Good choice.

**Stormhammer** · 02-11-2007, 11:36 PM

haha, a skyline wagon - that shit is PIMP

import back over to the US

**YokotaS13** · 02-12-2007, 04:17 PM

stance is looking a bit better.

**BTLFED** · 02-12-2007, 05:28 PM

Are those Advans? Looks bad ass.

**YokotaS13** · 02-12-2007, 10:28 PM

it was made to compete with the Legacy and legnum wagons
