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...

    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
