SOMETHING DIFFERENT

[WOTS A STAGEA]

Thought I would give some details about my current runaround

Its a Nissan Stagea Estate.
Nearly all Stageas are 2.5l single turbo autos and are quite quick (for a big car) but are designed for comfort so its like driving a quick boat.

There are however a few with the full skyline GTR package (engine , manual gearbox suspension, brakes etc) and I have one of these with a "few" mods. Currently produces over 400 bhp ( yes measurered on a dyno as anything else is just pub talk)

I would post some pics but cant get them to load up yet.
I will also post the specs/mods later - either here or in my profile .

Nice cars, I know someone who got one recently. Is yours the R33 or R34 shape?

Saw one in London a few years back. Very Q car.

Stageas are real sleepers and with 400bhp.......
Welcome to PH

Saw one for the first time at Lydden on Sunday......very stealth.

There were 2 a red one and a green one.

This thread is useless without pics.

As I said in the first post when I can get them to load up I will post them

Nice car, looks very clean.

Wow that's a very cooling looking motor you have yourself there sir. Very purposeful looking.

[Schmeeky]

That's a handsome beast you've got there, and even better that no-one will have a clue what it is (I thought the topic title was 'What's a Stage A' ), and even better that it's got 400bhp!!

THATS what ive been seeing around here!!!! Not that exact one but very similar - no badges so i really was stumped.

[Tidy_tom]

i can safely say that i have never seen one of these before or heard of them! i think its stunning tho and i bet it suprises a few people! engine looks similair to the skyline gtr?

Lovely looking car there mate, uber rare and uber stylish to boot.

[Chauch]

Fantastic looking Stagea, all the right bits on it by the looks of things as well

I tried to talk the good lady into one of these for ages, but sadly she was not having a bar of it

i know of one of these on shoreham beach sussex. it is my friends uncle's car and i have been in it and it is so quick it is a big white one and last time he had it on the dyno he was around the 750bhp mark. i think he was working with a company to try and get 1000bhp. when the engine let go last year and had mods done he had a black r33 gtr doing 900bhp with straight cut gears. stupid speed but a great car.

Im sure thats gary who runs GTart in Brighton I have driven this car as it was for sale recently .Owned by a guy called stuart and was imported new in 1998 before the regs were changed. Engine is tuned by gary (GTart) . Currently produces about 450bhp on wastegate boost only( 0.6 bar) and when the boost controllers are connected 645 bhp at about 1.5 bar.

sounds like garys. how much did he sell it for?? did you hear about stuart's car when the engine let go and he got a hole in the oil cooler i think that was the first engine he might be on his thrid by now.
