Recaro's were already in the car when we almost bought it, almost 3 years ago.

Came close to buying back then, but found ours a few months later.

I may have turned off the traction control on the test drive :cheers:

i have some pics from it at the dealer ship too

Well I'll be...

Was it advertised as $24k or something when you looked at it? Cos I still have the advert from the import dealership from the guy I bought it off, and I got it off him for $9900!! :cool: I couldn't believe it when I saw how much he bought if for. He must have needed the money cos I got him down from 14k pretty easily.

here's what my stag looks like now after a stupid P Plater chick reversed into it on The Esplanade at Christies Beach tonight and then did a runner. Lucky for me a group of guys going for a run saw it happen and chased her long enough to get her rego number. Plus everyone living in the houses near it came out when they heard the bang.

However, when I went to the Police station to report it guess who was there...this same girl reporting the incident and apparently her reason for not stopping was because she panicked and a "Gang of Men" chased her. She told them that I had parked way over the line (which it wasnt) and that she wasn't going any more than 5kmph (which she must have been) and at worst it probably just left a scratch (she hadn't seen the damage cos she'd knicked off)

Here's what a "5kmph scratch" looks like

my phone takes crap photos at night but you can see it was a decent hit :cheers:

I'm glad that she owned up because even though I had her rego number it's saved everyone the hassle of having to track her down, but I got really annoyed when she tried to say it was my parking that made her hit me. She was issued a fine for fleeing the scene of an accident and the cops said to me that what she was saying didn't make sense and that no matter how she worded it, she was in the wrong.

Many thanks to the guys who got her details for me. There are still some pretty decent people out there.

But it's really ruined my night :huh:

edit: I do not think all P Platers are stupid, just this particular one

Duuuude, sorry to hear about the scuff. Dont worry, she'll buff right out :P

Should have handed her a shovel so it made it easier for her to dig that hole she was in :P

Even if it isnt fixed, be good to see you attend next weekend. BTW very nice polish job, tis a great looking car

Here's what all you Sydney-based Stagea owners missed out on AGAIN - I seem to be the only one who's interested in throwing my car around a track or motorkhana circuit event. YOU ALL SUCK!!! :P Why am I always the only one with a Stagea at our events?

Look at the body roll - I need to set the rear swaybar to the stiffer setting!

Saw an S1 go on eBay tonight for $6990, I was clawing at the monitor the whole time. :blush:

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
