HEY im thinking of buying a Nissan Stagea from SSV imports on Clayton rd and Princess Hwy . . . .now im trying to sus them out but they wont say anything negative about themselfs .... they always have Stageas in Stock along with Delica's .... Supra's ... 33-34... Rx7 and the odd GTO...

If anyone has delt with them or anyone other dealership that imports ... please list and review so i can do my research firmly and not just dive into what i think may be a good deal ...

Thanks heaps people

.... OR to put it in forum rules (And a little more circumspect)....

J-spec A+

Prestige A+

SSV recommended by others

Kamikaze has been recommended.

JSA does not have a grading that can be posted, due to forum rules.

I'd talk to funky munky here before importing though. Yes he is part of J-spec, but he knows his stuff.

Read between the (sky)lines

SSV was one of the dealerships i visited when looking for my skyline. Top place, great prices, and Mark knows his stuff. Saff_cossie bought his evo from them. Their cars look pretty much faultless - Id really look at their cars when considering buying one. I went with GTAuto in the end because I got a better deal though.

I hear J-Spec does lots of Stageas, so probably can't hurt to go with them.

We comply them, but don't usually bring them in unless for a customer buying using our auction service.

cheers,

david @ carizma

also, probably the nicest import showroom I've seen is grand turismo on spencer street...it's not a yard, it's a showroom

IB4TL :D

GTA in West Melb

GTA = Grand Theft Autos (plus you can't trust a car salesman who looks like Joe Pesci)

LOL! Atleast they let me test drive the R32 GTR they had, but it was being driven by an employee at the same time their are selling it. Wouldn't give me a price and take no trade ins.

JSA Imports, got a few cars but if ya wanna know a story PM me.

I bought my car from Carizma so ask him(David) on this forum for details.

kamikaze had quite a range too.

Best is to check out the dealers for yaself and see how they all are. BTW bring a mechanic with you if not ya not one.

SSV - A+++ Purchased my R33 through them last year, great example, great price, great blokes to deal with. One of my mates

also just purchased a 34 GTT through them, again a perfect example at a reasonable price. Go with them.

Carisma - Purchased my S15 silvia through them in '03, it was a clean car and they were happy to help after the sale.

Cheers,

Thanks for the comment.

stolen_s15: By the way, saw your signature: we got a brand new R33 S2 windscreen fitted for one of our cars for $200 bucks at our mechanic. Why are you looking for used?

Just wanting to get it done as cheap as possible, but if thats the price of a new one then I'll do that.

i dunno, SSV gave me the impression that they are f*k heads, they bad every other shop out there and constantly think there top notch.

i wouldn't buy a car from them personally, because all there cars sit ouside 365 days a year during all conditions, unlike kamakaze all there stock are inhouse sealed away.

of course non of this matter if ur directly importing from japan.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
