hey guys,

new to the stagea world but not to nissan's. ive been looking for a few weeks now and was wondering i can find 98-99 models for around $14,000 - $16,000 but is there any point in look at importing from overseas? ive found a site http://www.j-specimports.com.au/featured were it tells you what you'll pay to get one landed and complied.

cheers,

scott

If you can find one locally even in another state for not much more than importing go for it.

I have used j-spec a few times to import. No fault of theirs but it always takes longer than you think and costs more.

Do you really want to wait for a car, realistically by the time it is on road, 3 months and not test drive it before you buy?

I imported my last stag through J-spec, I would highly recommend them. Very little trouble at all. I dealt with Ben and he was 100% honest about the car i was getting and gave me an excellant report on it before i purchased.

After buying from a Dealer this time round, I would of much preferred to go through J-spec again, unfortunately i couldn't deal with the waiting time. Like Darrin said...3 months is what you really should expect..But it could easily go longer then that.

The time factor doesn't really bother me, probably better. car probably wouldn't fit in garage i got now so when my house is finished at end of year ill have more room to park it.

I think nowadays there are so many options, if you dont mind waiting then import one, more likely to get exactly what you want that way.

If you dont want to wait then private or a yard is the go.

The market is slow atm locally for stag's so could pick up a good bargain if you look, like mine :)

I have used J-spec for 4 cars so far, and have no problem recommending them.

Wait times have been substantial between purchase and ready to register, but are not necessarily the compliance workshop's fault: I have dealt with ship breakdowns, Japanese holidays, end of financial year, New Zealand's change of import policy (my spots on the boat were taken by cars going to NZ, so they'd arrive before the new laws came into play), etc... If you don't mind the wait, it's well worth importing your own IMHO.

Chaser: 4 months

Legnum 3.5months

V35s: 7.5 months

ive been searching the forum about the factory double din unit that some come with. is there any point in get one with one in it? i know ill have to replace it to get it working in oz. but if i get one without it am i able to fit a double din unit?

i think you'll find that the stock double din xanavi screen is also the climate control, so not that easy to remove. mine didn't have the xanavi screen, just a single din climate control with double din cd player under that. the stagea has 3 din pockets available. now i have the single din climate control unit and a double din 7" touchscreen dvd,cd,etc.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?

      Did anyone here buy the crashed N1 R32 GTR at auction?

      By funkymonkey · Posted

      blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).

      I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
