If that is a flip-out TV/Nav thingy then its not the factory one. I have the factory option which is made by Xanavi (they do the tv/navigation systems for all nissans - including current models).

Either way if its a japanese system then the TV will likely only accept ntsc inputs (if it does PAL as well then you have no probs). Others on this forum have managed to connect up a portable digital tv tuner that outputs to ntsc via a connection on the front of the tv unit....maybe you can do something like that?

As far as navigation goes, that will depend on the system used by your unit. The factory Xanavi ones dont work here since the company has no plans to (a) convert them to english and (b) provide australian maps...so thats pretty much a showstopper. I believe some people have removed the internals of the unit and wired in an aussie portable satnav unit to work with the factory screen (including toughscreen capability)...but I dont know how far they got with this...

Good luck with the car - it looks VERY VERY NICE!!!!

Makes me REALLY want a dolphin bodykit (i believe thats the one yours has). :)

Hey Steve thanks for that info. I am going on the auction sheet. Most of the options were listed as factory options. They may not be, true. However I know that some cars come out of factories with anything but standard equipment. If you are a Nissan exec, or "in the club" so to speak you can order anything. In the car industry they are known as IPO's (internal production orders), esentially you can order anything as an option. I guess I'll know more (maybe) when the car arrives. The car is listed as having the "aero pakage" which is why I think that the mirrors might be factory. But maybe not. The Prime edition is the most optioned anyway, so it makes sense that special orders might be put on this, like the paint.

Anyway, regardless of all that, I am sure that I am going to enjoy it for a long time.

I'll let you know how I go with the nav etc.

Nice colour blue, LOVE that :PBJ: ..have to say though i really dont get the woodgrain only on some bits of the steering wheel Why do they only come with that little bit and not a full wheel of woodgrain? :( ...apart from that nice car...good job :O would have set you back a bit and with compliance do you have to get standard mirrors and stuff??? :D

CAnt wait to see it here in WA...can you take me for a drive when it gets here???;)

Hey Kristie... I worked out the wood grain thing...... sometimes it's nice just to enough without having too much . Which I guess is why women have two boobs and other animals (cops for instance) have up to 16 Teats.....

Can't imagine what the world would be like if women were like this!!! Probably overdone!!!! like my steering wheel with more woodgrain. HAha :)

Very nice looking car!!!! Makes me wanna buy a Stag 2morrow but wont be able to shop til early next year......looking at that car confirms that a Stagea is the car 4 me and the missus :)

Well done!

Thanks mate...... hey and I can't blame her if you make her ride around on the back of your kart!!!

:O

But seriously when you decide to start looking for one, PM me, I can help you.

LOL.....only got a lil Diahatsu Charade atm to drive and believe me, if i could drive the kart legally on the street...I would!!!! hehe :)

btw how much did your car cost??? I looking round a 1998-2000 model myself when the time comes

Nice car, well done

The mirrors are actually made by Ganador, not a factory option

They are a little bit smaller in the mirror size, but are still electric.

I had a set on my R33 and have just bought a set for my Stagea.

So Darren what did the mirrors set you back and where did you get them?

Just in case I ever need a replacement, (hope not)

There was a 260 at auction a couple of weeks ago with a bayside blue respray, looked fantastic!

Yeah I know you can get the cars resprayed. But honestly, would you buy a resprayed car from Japan? I sure woudn't. For a start you don't know whats under it, and it kills the resale value. Only reason I chose this one is cos it's factory. Suposedly so is the aero package, it is listed in the brochures, but I don't really know what it consisted of. Roll on January. We got the missing blind today in Japan for $100. So now it isn't missing anything..... (I hope)! :)post-30601-1164627243.jpg

If I was to import another, I'd go down the same road as John.

Get rid of the middle man I say...

Can't wait to take it for a drive >_<

Awww so nice to be listened to.....

How come there is'nt a "suck" smily?? :D

and how much was it all?

pleas tell me lol....

OK for those that keep asking,......

We paid 1,200,000 at auction in Japan, that converts to A$13250.00

By the time it's here with freight, compliance, import duties, lic, stamp duty etc, I am expecting it'll be about $24,000, on the road.

I only wanted to spend $20,000 but how could I resist it!!! :ninja:

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
