My Name is DJ

Hello from California USA. I just got mine well not technically because its still on a boat. Hopefully in a few short weeks I will be able to see it for the first time.

I also have a 2016 STI and a 2004 SRT4 Stage 3

Seriously though! If a 1200HP Bugatti Grand vitesse w16 quad turbo can get a California plate and pass smog I know that the RB26 can easily. Sounds to me like It's more political than pollution related obviously. From what I've researched It's been done but the costs to bring a gmv into compliance are upward of 10k, and well 15k is what I was quoted for the skyline then it has bi annual smog to pass regularly so no aftermarket mods either. Thats absurd I just want to go to car shows, visit the track and occasionally cruise it around with other classics. It wont even see 1500 miles a year. We have stupid hippies running things around here though. As soon as it arrives godzilla and I are going on a vacation to a no smog state for a few weeks to visit some family.

12k Is not a bad price. Any pics? GTR?

Damn I only paid $12k for my car lol couldn't imagine having to pay another 10-15k just to drive it on the roads.

Haha u really do need to get out of there. I'm still surprised New York isn't so stricted aboot this stuff

I didn't have anything to do with the import process. Bought it from this dealer.

They are awesome there. They do all the importing and don't put the cars up for sale until they are at their shop in Richmond. Basically it's just like buying a car like normal lol no hassle of doing customs crap and trying to do anything international

Put cash down today on a Nissan Stagea Autech 260rs, should be delivered by mid next week

I'm thinking I went through the same agent as @sopwey

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
