Project Nissan Stagea Turbo - Lairy Wrap... !
FULL NISSAN STAGEA BLOG CAN BE FOUND HERE
https://www.tmsmotorsport.co.uk/imag...08954890_o.jpg FULL NISSAN STAGEA BLOG CAN BE FOUND HERE Hi All, We have another little project on the go at the moment.. The current Stagea, which we have had a couple of years is near end of life unfortunately. She has been a fighter, been on a few track days. The Chassis is now too rusty. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...08954890_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...55939128_o.jpg Sooooo, we have a new one :) We'll transfer the performance parts over, and currently looking at a crazy printed wrap for the car too The 2 together.. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...ac&oe=58638881 MOT Time https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...48837906_o.jpg The new Stagea is a fresh import and a very clean 125,000 kilometres example. Has service stickers over it, and all history from Japan. Zero Rust. Its the Turbo 2.5 litre 24 Valve 6 Cylinder Engine out of the Nissan SKyline R33 GTS-t, and a 4wd System Similar to the R33 GTR Nissan Skyline. Should hopefully be a fun Project over the next couple of months... Check back for updates, always keen to hear views :) |
Always wanted one of these , keep seeing them about
|
Hi All,
The car passed the MOT, woo hoo... Over all looks to be in very good condition. I've never seen brakes so even on the tester ! (Top is front brakes, middle is foot brake, bottom is the rear brakes). https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...97515584_o.jpg Next to get it registered and all the goodies from the other Stagea fitted... |
Next Job...
There was a rather 90's TV sat nav audio system screwed to the dash. I wasn't going to be able to look the screw marks from where it was mounted. Little OCD maybe, so the dash had to come out ! https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...70502036_o.jpg https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...76146191_o.jpg Out... ! https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...93689858_o.jpg Here are the 2 dash units together https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...24293907_o.jpg Might have been a bit overkill to change the dash, just for this, but I wouldn't have been able to sleep at night !! https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...22011094_o.jpg All back in.. You'd never know the dash had come out. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...28768468_o.jpg https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...50421911_o.jpg Loads of screws and fiddling. All in all took aobut 5 hours. Next, we'll get the seats done. Currently the car has the standard velour seats. We'll change them for ones from a series 2 version. Little more sporty, the look similar to ones from an R34GTT Nissan Skyline. |
Sad Day, the old stagea has been stripped, and off she went...
All the tuning parts etc will go on the new Stagea ! https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...ed&oe=585F98EA |
Time for the brakes to be upgraded.... These Brembo brakes are from the old Stagea (but originally from an R33 GTR Nissan Skyline). The bolt straight on.
Going from a 280mm Front to 320mm. The standard brakes on the Stagea aren't the best ! These are also Brembo discs and pads, so give excellent braking ! https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...28891303_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...34062055_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...17368259_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...20268982_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...23656310_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...77262643_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...80903693_o.jpg https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...44584714_o.jpg Next we get to fitting the Coil pacls :) |
Next on the list, changing the coil packs. It wasn't that the current ones were misfiring. These new ones were only a year or so old
from the other stagea. So just to be on the safe side... https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...83039198_o.jpg https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...05705072_o.jpg https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...51937986_o.jpg https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...54923562_o.jpg All in all, took just over 2 hours. 1 silly thing I didn't think about was changing the spark plugs at the same time. School boy error, so they'll have to come out again soon to change the plugs ! D'oh ! More things being added to the list, will be never ending... :) |
Next on the list, couple of little items..
Nismo Oil Cap https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...29268690_o.jpg Brake Stopper, to improve braking feel, and stop bulkhead flex https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...35985945_o.jpg There were some blemishes on the dash trim https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...47164922_o.jpg So had to change it to a nicer one :) https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...89691637_o.jpg |

Nice upgrade. With my boys getting bigger (and their mountain bikes getting bigger too) I'm realising there will be a point where my impreza wagon won't be big enough.
I've never seen one of these in flesh, how much bigger than an impreza are they? |
