Hi guys

OK here is the prob.

I recently purchased a Stagea that was advertised here and on ebay.

It's a great car and I got it for a good price :(

There were a couple of snags though.

It was advertised as having an alarm and immobiliser.

After seeing the car i realised all was not as it seemed.

There was no alarm/immobiliser and the car was registered in SA which was a surprise cause the guy selling it lived in Sydney.

I got an alarm fitted straight away which cost me about $700 which was a little annoying.

But i'm scared that when i go for the blue slip things will turn ugly.

The main concern i have is the glass in the car.

The front windows are tinted but i believe they are not so dark as to be illegal but the back windows a VERY dark

and they aren't tinted they are dark glass. They look fantastic but if i fail on them i'm screwed as i can't just peel the tint off.

Does anyone know where the best place to go is for a blueslip? And by best i mean least picky. I live in Wollongong NSW.

I need to get this done ASAP cause i'm assuming that the guy i bought the car from will eventually cancel the rego on me.

I know there would be people here who have had to deal with similar situations before and i'm hoping to use there experience.

Thanks in advance guys.

We're VIC based, but hopefully this gets you started in the right direction:

That's sounding like the 'UV Cut' glass which came from the factory on later model imports (eg R34s, etc). It's a factory-fitted option, so it should be okay...

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
