Dam. Thanks for the info guys. The hunt continues

I picked up an auto S1 that has some gashed stocky wheels, with tyres that are down to the belts. I'm budgeting for new wheels and tyres so that I can pick the specs, but I found a pretty solid deal on some rota drift teks with tyres. While these arem't the wheels I really wanted, they will pass a roadworthy, and keep some coin in my pocket for suspension parts. Wheels are 17x9.5 with a zero offset squared. tyres 225/45

Never heard of 75% of those, thanks!!

Really? No ones got a site for genuine parts for this stuff??

Catchy title got you - It's not time to rebuild the engine like you may have figured, but rather everything else. I picked up a series 1 auto for pennies since it needs all the suspension, and some steering components replaced. Bit of a job, but not necessarily why I'm starting this thread. The car, surprisingly, didn't have any maintenance history. You know what that means! Replace all the things! I'm new to Australia, so I'm not sure where the best deals are for this stuff are. I'm pretty sure I have the suspension all sorted out, but as far as acc belts, timing belt kit, water pump, water pump seal goop, and spark plug online suppliers go, I'm pretty lost. I've seen some ebay listings as low as $200 for complete kits inc. water pump, and then I've seen kits locally (gold coast) with all the same stuff for $600. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Unless someone here just so happens to have all of this BNIB at home, then I'll buy yours. Cheers. Before anyone mentions how I should swap the manual trans in, I will, in due time. It's certainly shitty seeing a swap in the classifieds going for $1100 right now.

We talking R33 or stagea? I'm not paying attention to what's listed in OP's signature since it's not always a reliable source of up-to-date information

series 2 had the neo motor. Neos have ignitors built into each coilpack.

the car has 250,000k on it. It'll require more than just a timing belt haha. Thanks for the info though! I'll be sure to check those places out and see what they charge!

I'm bringing this post back from the dead since no ones likes multiple threads asking the same question. Looking at picking up a stagea, and I need someone to go over this car and find everything that's wrong with it. Hidden rust, gauge age of timing belt, look at suspension bushings, leak down test on the motor, etc. A full comprehensive inspection. I've seen the exterior of the car, and it is not mint. Makes me hesitant to believe that it runs "mint"as the current owner says. I'm located in Currumbin, but the car is in Tweed. Apparently it has rego until december, so traveling to a shop shouldn't be an issue. What are your guys' suggestions? Shops that have employees who own stageas take the first spot, obviously.

Posted in the correct section. Feel free to lock this.

tried to edit my post, but it won't let me. I don't have permission to? Anyways, he's in armadale. Close by?

Hey mates I live in QLD, and on the hunt for a R34 front end stagea. One has popped up on gumtree, but it's located in perth. I'm hoping that there is a mobile mechanic who can do a solid check on it and shoot me back some details. Not expecting anyone to do this for free. I'll the rates Cheers!

Trying to see if there are any mobile mechanics, or mechanics willing to travel a bit could check a car out for me over in Perth. I'm in QLD, but want someone who can do a proper check over for me before I send the seller any cash. I'm more than happy to pay the hourly rate for however long it takes to do the job properly. Money better spent learning about flaws before hand! If your company had a website or something I should contact you through, no worries just leave a link or something!
