I love the classic "make it a daily driver" car & then the project just blows up into a full race car build. Adam LZ does this all the time too. It's hilarious. Hahaha!
With having a baby, my wife and I discuss what our SUV/family car will be. I would LOVE to have this as it. When I hear you say Dad car, dad station wagon I am getting super hyped to see what this becomes. Nice job Dustin, despite you being younger than me, your life is goals man.
So sick! The Stagea is a total sleeper, I’ve always wanted to get one to have in the garage next to my Legacy GT wagon. Keep killing it with the Japan content!
I came here to comment the same. The r34 front doesn't match imo, it looks more modern than the rest of the car... And yes, the rs260 aero looks unique and fits the car better.
Another long vlog! Let's go! Thank you again Dustin for all the hard work you've been putting into this Japan series. I know myself and the other fans are enjoying the heck out of it! 💪🏼🔥😁
Man these japan vlogs are the absolute best. So much stuffed into every single one as well. Dont even know where to start. Stagea 260rs is such a basically unknown car, I cant wait for you to import it and start working on it. I absolutely love these. Such an underdog. Outside of Japan these seem soooo rare. Only seen one in here Germany at a major JDM meet and it wasnt a 260rs as to no suprise. Was immediately stoked as soon as I saw the Autech badge. Great choice on the steering wheel for the r32 as well and man what a shop. Would love to have something like that in Germany. And I was really hoping youd get to hang out with Sam and great to see that you did end up meeting by chance. What a dream trip this is. You are making enough memories for years in just a couple weeks man.
Such a great ending with all 3 of you JDM bros! EPIC! Super Autobacs is so nice in Japan. I went to the one in Los Angeles, and it was cool but not as nice as this.
This is one of your best video series yet! Thanks for sharing! I need to get back to Korea and Japan again. The food is unbelievable out there and the culture is top notch! This trip looks like a blast
JuiceboxForYou probably has the best Japan video series of anyone. Japan Without A Plan & Japan In A Van are some of the best showcases of Japanese car culture on UA-cam.
Anyone else from SoCal remember the Super Autobacs in Westminster?! That was my favorite store as a kid! And this video just tapped into those memories 🥹 Years after closing, they later turned it into a DMV with the same structure that Autobacs once was! Ahhh I wanna go to Japan so bad !!
#MadeItToTheEnd. Been watching since your WRX (I had a 2015 and that’s how I first found your channel). Your Japan trip is epic. Thanks for letting us love vicariously through your lens. Keep loving the JDM dream and sharing it with us, Dustin. Peace
There's so many cool wagons out there. They make sense, look good, and usually come with an bigger engine option. RS4 & RS6 Avant, Jetta wagon, Mercedes, etc👌
I KNEW it was gonna be a stagea! Love these things!!! I saw an RS4S like 2 weeks ago in my city painted bayside blue and had the r34 GTR front end conversion... it was magical.
I thought it was gunna be a forester sti 😂😂 That’s dope tho new car I’ve never seen before, looking forward to seeing what this car is about!! An with an Rbbb 👀👀
So crazy! I peeped the all white one inside the shop on one of your first buildings on this trip. They’re such sick cars. It’s shocking how many people don’t know about this car
Okay, we need more Stagea content in the next Japan trip. At least some mods/timeline updates. Such a cool car. Would love to see some Midori work done to it (if that is something they would be open to). P.S. It definitely needs some TE’s…
Awesome to see you ran into Sam at the PA. I saw a Stagea on his channel awhile ago with the 34 swap. Not my thing, but not my car either. Can’t wait for the next video
Great choice bro Dustin i can't wait to see the progress on the station wagon GTR version😍🔥and perfect for the STW come legal 25 year and arrived in usa to pick little parts for your projects cars it's perfect
Dustin - Loving the Dad car idea. Lots of foreshadowing in this purchase. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Speaking as a Dad, I strongly urge you to complete this build BEFORE you guys have kids. You have no idea how little time you will have for car builds and UA-cam content once you become a parent. (e.g. Tavarish).
I’m stoked for you bro 🤙🏻 I can’t wait to watch the stagea build i’m hyped About it that’s one of my All-time favorite JDM cars Especially with the R 34 front clip
I saw one where I live with the R34 GTR front end a couple weeks ago here in Canada, so when I saw this video I have a feeling immediately that's what he got. It would be so painful living in the USA wanting imports because their import law is 25 years. Luckily in Canada it's 15 years.
Love the video! I watched Sammit’s last night and commented I couldnt believe your trip to daikoku you didnt include him, come today and hes in this video! Would love to see a colab one day.
Bro as an owner of a c34 rs4s Stagea in Australia you must cut the factory Stagea guards and weld on the r34 guards to retain the factory body lines or it completely ruins it. Also needs the genuine GTR front end parts or it looks so dud. Good buy
I've always loved the double Unicorn logo, because it means someone at Nissan managed to convince all the suits and boffins that a double unicorn was a safe branding bet. Stageas are mint, I had one for a daily and it was a smile machine. There's also nothing like being able to throw your bike into the back and still be able to romp on an RB on the way to ride. Also worth noting 'though it looks a lot more like an R34 and people always do the R34 frontend swap on them, they are based on the R33, so if you go looking for parts you can often get away with R33 parts (obviously dustin knows this about the 260rs, but it applies to the non-260rs RB25 version too!)
I love wagons, I personally have a subaru forester that I'm building rn...the stagea is a dream wagon for me, especially with the R34 swapped front end...I'm hyped for this 🤟
You should get the facelift and respray done in Japan. Body work is so much cheaper over there and it’ll save you a ton on shipping big parts to the US. I have 2 Stageas stored over there now and had one R34 swapped while it’s in storage and the body and paint was ridiculously inexpensive.
Yes Dustin yes!! I have had my Stagea for 4 years now and I love it!! I live in Toronto, Canada. Mine has been re painted a very bold Porsche lava orange colour and has the front end swap, rims, exhaust, headers, tune etc. unfortunately I may have its out of commission 5 weeks ago I drove it all the way to Vegas and during my time their some drunk guy hit my car going 47 with a Dodge Ram truck on my left front side..and it’s not drive able now but it’s all getting fixed :)
Man all I wanna do is go to Japan now, we did have an Autobacs in a couple cities a while ago. There was one in Westminster and I believe one in Ontario they didn’t do well so they closed down. It was always fun to just go there and explore
I remember someone riding the Stagea in my city 2 years ago. I had no clue what it was till i was informed but it was so dope dropped on some wheels, def had to snap a pic. Still have it lol awesome pick up
I love the Stagea my mate has had one for 15yrs or so a great car. With 110,000 km on the clock just change the water pump and pick up a HKS timing belt and a few goodies while your there then it will be sweet for a other 100 km
So good to bump into you Dustin! Excited to do some cool stuff with you soon 👀
👀
Was awesome to see some of my favorite UA-camrs together at Daikoku. Your S15 looks and sounds sweet!💪
Sweet new ride Dustin! Ready for some kids 😎
lmao😂😂
Yup get those Bride kids car seats too.
So when’s illuminate gonna get the s2 rsfour s manual rb25det neo
I love the classic "make it a daily driver" car & then the project just blows up into a full race car build. Adam LZ does this all the time too. It's hilarious. Hahaha!
I did that with a Dodge Charger it was my daily so I could build a drag car now I have 2 project Racecars
Unlimited budget life
As if you even watch LZ, Dustin’s channel is the shit
With having a baby, my wife and I discuss what our SUV/family car will be. I would LOVE to have this as it. When I hear you say Dad car, dad station wagon I am getting super hyped to see what this becomes. Nice job Dustin, despite you being younger than me, your life is goals man.
Thanks for watching man 👊🏼
Man i love Dustin's yt channel ong i been subscribed since you have ur evo 8 red to white
I’ve been following since the content was destiny videos lol
So sick! The Stagea is a total sleeper, I’ve always wanted to get one to have in the garage next to my Legacy GT wagon. Keep killing it with the Japan content!
I think the 260rs front end looks better then a r34 front. If it's was a stock stag wagon a r34 front is a must 🇦🇺🙋♂️
I came here to comment the same. The r34 front doesn't match imo, it looks more modern than the rest of the car... And yes, the rs260 aero looks unique and fits the car better.
Another long vlog! Let's go! Thank you again Dustin for all the hard work you've been putting into this Japan series. I know myself and the other fans are enjoying the heck out of it! 💪🏼🔥😁
best series
Real shit
Why
really loving the japan content, from car culture to lifestyle and everything in between! keep them coming!

Absolute props to the people who got it correct when we got a sneak peek. Loving the Japan content
perfect full day in Japan !! i have been there 3 times and the Japan Vlogs make we want to go back and stay for a while. awesome work Dustin !!
Such a great ending with all 3 of you JDM bros! EPIC! Super Autobacs is so nice in Japan. I went to the one in Los Angeles, and it was cool but not as nice as this.
These long videos are a vibe, get excited every day for you to drop a video
omg i have wanted one of those so bad. they are the ultimate dad car
This is one of your best video series yet! Thanks for sharing! I need to get back to Korea and Japan again. The food is unbelievable out there and the culture is top notch! This trip looks like a blast
These japan vlogs have made you the best car UA-cam channel to watch!! Love these vids!
Heck yes! At the beginning of the video when you were talking about merch, I was like “Whoa! Look at that silver 260RS in the background!” Well done.
Dut just out here doing more everyday. Awesome to watch you live your dream!
They look sick af with the R34 front clip swap! I can’t wait!!
where i'm from we only have a couple of stageas and all were converted to r34 front end and it looks dope.
These videos have been amazing! Truly crazy to see the pov of what japan is like from the mountains to the tuner shops!
watch Sammit, moved to Japan from Australia, speaks japanese and has a Japanese wife. He just got into pro drifting
JuiceboxForYou probably has the best Japan video series of anyone. Japan Without A Plan & Japan In A Van are some of the best showcases of Japanese car culture on UA-cam.
@@raymeekss o yes! I watch him as well.
@@shona5512 oooo ok rad, I will look into those.
It's nice to see you + SAMMIT ♥️
Anyone else from SoCal remember the Super Autobacs in Westminster?!
That was my favorite store as a kid! And this video just tapped into those memories 🥹
Years after closing, they later turned it into a DMV with the same structure that Autobacs once was! Ahhh I wanna go to Japan so bad !!
Yup there was also one in West Covina I believe is where the other one was , was a cool store , closed so long ago unfortunately
Loved seeing Sam in this vid, you two need to link again before you leave Japan
Bro I love this and something really unique!
Gtr Front end swap. T.E’s and bayside blue color would look so sick.

LOVE THE JAPAN VLOGS. Wish to go to japan one day!!!!
Commenting for the algorithm. You keep bringing the heat! 🔥
23:47 Masa's laugh 😂

I KNEW it was gonna be a stagea! Love these things!!! I saw an RS4S like 2 weeks ago in my city painted bayside blue and had the r34 GTR front end conversion... it was magical.
Stoked to see the revival of the secret car! Would you consider rebuilding the oem wheels into 3 piece wheels?
who else was excited to see Sammit😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you for highlighting the rs4 avant ❤️ that thing was gorgeous
Haven't been so excited for a new car in a while. Hope you go all out with it
Every UA-camr needs a hype man like Masa
I thought it was gunna be a forester sti 😂😂 That’s dope tho new car I’ve never seen before, looking forward to seeing what this car is about!! An with an Rbbb 👀👀
So crazy! I peeped the all white one inside the shop on one of your first buildings on this trip. They’re such sick cars. It’s shocking how many people don’t know about this car
YESSSSSSSS!!!! Ive been waiting for someone to do this car its is the ultimate dad wagon!!! Props
Was looking at stagea but they so long so I settled for the other perfect family wagon . Evo 9 wagon . Great vid 👌
I’m so happy you’re doing the 34 front conversion, can’t wait for the build series 👌
That shop is awesome I’d love to open something like that in the uk
We all needs a Masa in our life ❤️ what a pristine guy! Thanks for the content dude
Gonna love the Stagea R34 Build
I'm surprised a lot of UA-camrs ignore the Stagea
Thanks for getting one
Okay, we need more Stagea content in the next Japan trip. At least some mods/timeline updates. Such a cool car. Would love to see some Midori work done to it (if that is something they would be open to).
P.S. It definitely needs some TE’s…
Awesome to see you ran into Sam at the PA. I saw a Stagea on his channel awhile ago with the 34 swap. Not my thing, but not my car either. Can’t wait for the next video
so glad you got to meet up with Sammit!

Omg! Stagea 260 RS is my ultimate dream car! Justin! I couldn't have been more jealous of you now! 😱🤩😍

With this Stagea, you are now officialy my single most favourite UA-camr ever my guy!🔥🔥🔥
You have a lot of wicked ideas for the new build! 🚙🔥🔥
