Silgea Build In 20 Mins - S14 Front Stagea

Күн бұрын

Brief 20 minute build video of my S14 front Nissan Stagea. From the first version in 2015 until the current (3rd) version of the car.
The car was really just a big learning curve for things I wanted to know how to do 6+ years ago. At the time I just attempted them and continued to try and do better work since. There are things I know I could do 200x better with my current knowledge, but there will not be a 4th version haha
Mods include:
Turbo LS, manual, airbagged with Accuair management, tubbed all round, narrowed cradle and suspension points moved inwards, 18x11 & 18x10 VSKF, 6 & 4 piston Brembos, dual sunroof and shaved roof rack rails, Confetti Recaros with S15 dash conversion, custom body kit all round.

I was hoping you would make a video on this car. Man, i know you say you hate it and think there are other, much nicer cars out there but dude, seriously, this is easily one of if not the coolest stagea in Australia, if not the whole world! I never realised just how much custom work was involved in the entire car, let alone on the s14 front swap. absolutely incredible! 😮

I've seen this posted on your Instagram and have always loved this car. I had no idea the amount of fabrication you put into this to get it to look "right". This car is a testament to your eye in design. Nearly anyone can slap a front end on a car, but to make it work and flow so even the trained eye doesn't immediately see it looks a little off is what sets this car apart. Thank you for making this video and excellent work!

@notevn 10 ай бұрын

Haha , yeah much more work than most people would assume, but that was the goal for the car, to be far more modified but too look much more oem than the first versions. Most people that have never seen a stagea(and those who don't care about jdm cars) don't even bat an eyelid as they assume that's how it's meant to look haha.

@notevn 11 ай бұрын

Hey mate, yeah first one was awd but front shafts removed, the RB really wasn't great for it or it wouldn't have been removed haha. Just not enough torque to pull out of a sway situation and really bad on fuel as expected. As for the chassis. It's not really designed to tow, basicly an r33 with a longer bum, is why I'd only put my own cars behind it which are small and light (8-900kg cars with 580kg trailer) as to not exceed the tow rating.

@Low760 11 ай бұрын

@@notevnif you're getting sway more power doesn't pull you out of it in my experience! Usually it's the overloaded trailer causing the sway!

@notevn 11 ай бұрын

I don't get any sway as I know how to load the trailer correct, but in emergencies/freak situations with crazy winds+rain,its not hard to come unstuck, easier just hit the elec trailer brakes and accel to pull it straight. I've had my empty trailer do 90 degree jackknifes at 70kmh due to a rear panhard failure in a 200 series landcruiser. 😅 so ya can't say super unlucky things can't happen.

Thanks, it actually is about the power though as the reason the RB was removed was because it lacked enough power to tow a trailer nicely and it was really heavy on fuel,the numerous reliability issues could have been solved ,sure. But I felt there was no point flogging a dead horse. If the car didn't have a dual purpose I would have left the RB in there as it would still be fun to drive. And I'm all for going fast in slow cars, all of my other cars are N/A ,but the stagea is like showing up to a circuit race in a hearse haha.
