Christian, was keen to find out how much your FMIC was for the Stagea, I went down to Unique the other day and asked them about it, but didn't have a good chance to have a look at it and your car. They told me you got it from Japan and brought it in for them to install, but were unsure how much it cost you.

I'm keen to get one similar, where the pipes run back under the core and meet up to the standard cut-outs in the engine bay. I wanna keep my Stag looking fairly innocent, and would like to minimise the number of things that stand out under the bonnet, so having standard-looking intercooler pipes and a black intercooler is what I'm aiming for.

Oh, and are you sure you're not keen to keep the Stagea for another month or so? I'm gonna try and organise a Stagea cruise towards the end of March. I'm gonna try and get the Sydney and Hunter region (Newcastle, Central Coast, etc.) owners together and maybe meet somewhere fairly central along the coast - maybe Swansea...

Anyway, would appreciate if you could give me a ballpark figure on how much the FMIC cost you, part number (they informed me at UAS that it's a Stagea-specific Blitz intercooler), and how you went about bringing it in. PM me if you wish.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

sounds like you're talking about the blitz LM kit (or similar kit anyway)

for 33GTS-T expect to pay anywhere from $1200-$1500...so i'd expect similar if not more for a stagea....

    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
