  1. nah this isn't PDF, this is an orginal Nissan owners manual. the sort of thing you'd get when you buy the car from a dealer.
  2. unfortunately, yes. like i said i asked the guy if it was in english. he said alot of it was.......but it's not.
  3. i've already bought one owners handbook off here. i was told "english and jap". but is all jap with some random english titles, so it's pretty much useless. i reckon the proper one would be handy to have in the car.
  4. they are peices of crap aren't they. i'm a mechanic at a holden dealer and i feel so bad when i see an old couple drive one. they've had their corona or early commo since brand new, it's in mint condition and some retard has advised them to upgrade to a VIVA, or a daewoo barina.
  5. this is a F##kin joke. i just sold my 2009 Holden ss sportwagon and bought a 2000 C34 stagea. the stagea drives better, feels safer at speed and is a lot cooler. the SS retailed at $51,000 on the road and i sold it a year later for $36,000. i bought my stagea for $15,000 and it's been valued at $19,500. work that out
  6. saw a white series 1(i think) stagea down near sellicks hill about lunch time, gold rims, aftermarket rear wing - looked tuff
  7. I had a nice find on the net today. This place prints english translated owners manuals and service books for a whole heap of cars - they even do stageas http://www.jpnz.co.nz/ they have a link for factory workshop manuals, but they won't do a printing run until the number are viable. i'm thinkin about putting my name on the list- i reckon it'd be handy to have on the shelf.
  8. Man, that is something i'd love to do! i've been pretty quick on a bike but that 300km/h would awesome to break. I don't think my stagea would be up for the challenge tho..LOL
  9. spotted a white 32 on south road near aldinga at 3:15 ish on my way to work. and spotted BNR32 at the south road - flaxmill road lights.
  10. are the swya bars stock or are the aftermarket units. keen for both for my stagea if they are aftermarket.
  11. i'd rather get it recharged, but i have no idea on where to get trhat sort of thing done. the guy from the toyota forums doesn't do it anymore.
  12. any one know where i can get a good accumulator in adelaide for a good price? that clicking relay is getting really annoying - happens about every 45 secs at idle.
  13. after removal and repalcement of the accumulater does the attesa system need to be bled?
  14. hopefully the steering isn't too heavy- the car weighs stuff all- but i am thinking of putting a larger diameter wheel, mounted further back for better ergonomics. next time i have it running i'll record the noise it makes. sounds Fkn wicked, little flames out the pipes on overrun at times too.
  15. funnily enough that was never discussed. i'm speaking to roll cage fabricators at the moment to try and get some extra strength put in around the driver for safety.
  16. car is on loan from my boss. the deal is that if i pay for consumables - ie fuel and tyres- and keep up basic maintenence, then i get to use it for free. it has been sitting around for a few years so the first thing is to go thru the whole car and make sure it's all safe and CAMS approved. hopefully it'll be competing in hill climbs later this year.
  17. just pulled all of the brake cylinders and callipers off of the car to have rebuilt- it's been sitting around for a while- if its sunny outside tomoorrow i'll get some and post them up. but for now here's the motor before it got a decent clean and a pic of her when i picked it up
  18. well, it isn't a skyline or even skyline powered but this is the new climb beast. picked it up from my boss last week -space frame chassis -k series corolla motor -twin side draft webers -morris minor diff with full floating axles -full rose jointed suspension
  19. i'm trying to find out if the Rwd springs are the same as Awd springs. i think the struts maw be different but i need to know if the springs are the same.
  20. is it for series 1 or 2 if its for series 2 i'll take it. i'll pm you my details
  21. can i get a PM please, wouldn't mind takin the new car out for a cruise.
  22. first day i took my car to work (@ a Holden dealership) 3 of the mechanics including the foreman all asked me why i sold my SS wagon to buy a volvo. one of them even asked what it was first and still thought it was a volvo!
  23. colour code is TV2 Bayside blue
  24. here's one of the videos from the hill climb. I'll try and post up some more later http://www.streetfire.net/video/mazda-rx7-...imb_1997387.htm
  25. went for a drive up that way yesterday. lots of cool cars out. unfortunately the combination of wet weather, small child and my poor preperation for the conditions meant that i couldn't stay too long.
