hi all

long time lurker, rare poster (but that's certainly changing)

i've recently put down a (fully refundable) deposit on a 1999 C34 S2 Stagea RS Four S.

bit more info here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pu...ag-t289922.html

it's black, awd and manual :(

i was hoping that someone with experience with an RB25 DET Neo might be able to help come and check it out with me in a few weeks (experience with C34 Stagea's is a bonus!)

it's currently on a boat, due to arrive in about 2-3 weeks

it's being shipped to Nagoya Motors (who seem to get mixed reviews here)

happy to pay petrol costs and a 6 pack of beer for your trouble?

will be looking to you guys as well for hints and tips, as this will be my first import (know a bit about them, subscribed to Zoom and HPI for years)

thanks in advance guys

cheers

Where abouts are you located? Where abouts is Nagoya Motors located? Would it be a weekend/weekday?

To be honest, it will take you a hell of a lot for you to say no to it now that it's already on its way. You would only say no if you had to, like if you turned the motor over and you heard a big end knock :(

Got any pics of the engine bay?

i'm in the Sutherland Shire

Nagoya is at Taren Point (about 5-10 mins from Cronulla)

would be a weekend, as i work Mon-Fri (but they're open 7 days)

i'm still a bit undecided on the car tbh, having not had a chance to drive a manual one, but drove the auto.

the auto i found was not too bad, so hoping the manual is a fair whack better

they took the car off the website after i put a deposit on it, but essentially it's the same as this:

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
