post some pics mate. got a call from bruce saying u were geting an immobilizer fitted. i opted to make it an alarm as well for an extra hundred

[rusy82]

yeah mate i emailed motovation after reading your post hopefully they havent installed the immobiliser yet. if not i'll just sort something out when it gets over here.

[jippa]

nice 1 mate. did u get leather and sunroofs. what sort of ks on the clock, mine is claimed to be 64 thousand but looking at my drivers leather seat condition it would be more like 80 or 90. im also guessing you have the warranty? this will come in realy handy. when did they tell u that your car will be on its way

[rusy82]

no i didnt get leather or sunroofs mine is said to have 64km but im waitng till i see some better photos for a better estimate. yeah i got the warranty hopefully i dont have to use it.

when i get the car im gonna go over it with a fine tooth comb and give it a big service for piece of mind.

they havent given me an estimate of when its gonna be sent but im guessing/hoping next week sometime.

what are they charging you for shipping? mine is around $1300 i think.

yea $1360 to be exact, our cars might be on the same truck as mine is coming over late next week. just getting the front bar fixed cos of a small crack then detailing and thats it. the warranty is the shizzle, saved me 4 grand and have got a few contacts from the work that got done . u gonna keep yours stock or do a few mods. also is urs rwd or awd?

[rusy82]

im gonna do some mods hopefully when money permits just bolt on stuff mainly

mine is rwd.

what did you have to already claim on the warranty?

what work was done?

auto or manual

this is my second stag. the first was an s1 and the auto gearbox went, coilpacks also and a relay behind the dash started clicking constantly

got a few mods on mine, pod and 3 inch cat bac zorst. gona do the exhaust from turbo and wind up the boost a bit and leave it at that for a while as funds are a bit low

[rusy82]

mine is stock as a rock and auto.

is yours coming over without rego?

if so what are you gonna do?

i was thinking get a temporary permit and take it straight to the pits.

[jippa]

yea thats the plan. a temporary movment permit lasts 48 hours so u have 2 chances of getting it over the pits. keep us posted on when ya stag is coming. where abouts do u live?

[rusy82]

i live in scarborough.

any idea where we pick up the cars from i keep forgetting to ask motovation?

I bought my S2 from motorvation back in March '06.

In general they were great to deal with and very helpful - even picked us up from the airport when we flew over to buy it.

My advice would be to get the car checked out by a mechanic or some kind of vehicle inspection people asap.

We got the 12 month warranty with ours but dont put much confidence in that one. The list of what it covers is mainly engine, gearbox, drivetrain, all of which nissan cars are famously good for. If something's going to be faulty its more likely turbo or suspension IMO. Actually my car had issues with both of these. We had the rear shocks replaced but this was only covered by the dealer 3 month/5000km warranty NOT the 12 month warranty - so thats why I said get it checked out ASAP.

As far as the turbo goes, the warranty only covered up to $700, which wouldn't even have paid for a replacement 2nd hand one. In the end we upgraded the turbo at our own cost. To get warranty you have to use the mechanics listed with the warranty network - and most of those dont have the first clue what a stagea is, let alone a turbo. We decided that something as important as the turbo would be best done by a specialist.

In all though, 20 months later the car is still going great. The front suspension should probably have been fixed too but wasn't noticeably bad at the time we bought it.

From what we've experienced with the car and the condition it was in when we bought it, it is quite likely the kms were genuine (or at least very close to) and that the car had been sitting in a caryard for several years. And I'm now thinking that its possibly better to buy a car with higher kms thats been driven regularly than one thats been sitting around for years...but we haven't done too badly.

Still very happy with it, driven to brisbane and back in it, and on several short holidays in SA (i live in adelaide), and its still purring along. so aside from the initial issues with turbo and suspension, its not needed anything else done since, other than the usual servicing. Great car

got a new pic of my stag and was way hapy untill i noticed that my eyelids had been removed. they said it was for compliance and would try get them back but dont like my chances,

the warranty on offer at the moment is 5 years and lucky for me i have a good mechanic that is awn registered an auto sparky and a gearbox place. they chose the base package but am going to upgrade to the premo package for a few extra $. u might want to look at doing the same rusy

[rusy82]

yeah i may upgrade the warranty depending on the extra cost.

thats crap about your eyelids you should definitely get them back imo.

i didnt end up getting photos today as they said "the camera ran out of battery" ?

[jippa]

hey wheres that unicorn from? cant remember

[rusy82]

thats charlie the unicorn hahaha great cartoon.

youtube it if you havent seen it!

[jippa]

thts right. out of battery ey. thats the 1 bad thing, not many photos

[GoldZilla]

thats charlie the unicorn hahaha great cartoon.

youtube it if you havent seen it!

Charlie: "Oh God, what is that?"

Unicorn 1: "It's a Leoplourodon, Charlie.

Unicorn 2: "A magical Leoplourodon."

Unicorn 1: "It's going to guide our way to Candy Mountain."

Charlie: "Alright guys, you do know there's no actual Candy Mountain, right?"

Unicorn 1: "Shun the non-believer!"

Unicorn 2: "Shun."

Unicorn 1: "Ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-dah..."

Charlie: "Yeah..."

Leoplourodon: "Blurghdahwahalahblahblahblah eeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh"

Unicorn 1: "It has spoken!"

Unicorn 2: "It has told us the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy."

Charlie: "IT DIDN'T FREAKING SAY ANYTHING!"

- it's sssssssooooooooooooo lame, yet sometimes I can't get it out of my head... Saw it about 6 months ago, and my sister (who's 28 and should know better ) still quotes it to this day.
