It was purchased off a guy who was in the airforce and he told me that he got it imported while he was in QLD. I got it in the tradingpost. I dont have the reciept for when i purchased the actual car off him as it was a private deal and wouldnt have meanbt nothing.
The reasonm for the transplant was because i wanted it to be 4WD and turbo like the GTR, but of course wihtout the twin turbo. It has great handling and traction with the 4WD.
The Stagea engine itself cost $3300 i think with the ECU etc. But then i added the boost gauge, clutch, intercooler, exhaust, 3 point immobilizer, GTR wing and so on.
The car itself cost me $16500 stock non-turbo and the whole cost of converting it was close on $10000. It was either more or less. Little things like the wiring had to be all reconfigured
to match it with the Stagea ECU wiring of the GTS4 so it cost me alone $800 alone for 2 sessions for the guy to come out to get that done properly! I have the reciept for the engine etc and exhaust and intercooler.
Yep im free sunday if you like to see it, just give us a call on my mobile.
