Stagea Stuff Platform

Monorepo for Nissan Stagea owners — parts discovery, fitment notes, and community tooling born from JDM import logistics pain.

Key Features

Parts catalog direction
Wiki cross-links
Import logistics context

Scope of work

Turn Stagea ownership from markup-driven parts hunting into a platform problem:

  • Document import, title, and compliance lessons from buying a JDM Stagea
  • Start heff0/stagea-stuff monorepo for catalogue, fitment, and wiki-style cross-links
  • Separate community content from future commerce (heff-shop handles checkout)
  • Publish stageastuff.com as the public face while repo structure evolves
  • Capture opaque supply-chain pain as structured data instead of forum lore

Out of scope: nationwide warehouse, same-day shipping, OEM Nissan API access.

Deliverables

  • Public origin story and site shell
  • Monorepo with documented intent (parts + fitment + wiki)
  • Separation of concerns from commerce repo
  • Full fitment database (in progress)
  • Vendor ingestion pipeline (planned)

Outcomes

  • Named the real enemy: logistics and information asymmetry, not horsepower
  • Created durable home for Stagea-specific knowledge outside generic forums
  • Fed requirements into homelab and shop projects downstream

Constraints

  • Niche market — data quality beats feature count
  • Import compliance varies by state; platform must not pretend to be legal advice
