STAG250

oem not so noisy with top box fitted kayak on those bars and on thule have been tested out and passed with flying colours

and the steering wheel?

not by my experience I was quoted for LFR6AP-9 (std), LFR6A or LFR6AIX-P (opt) but I have a turbo so that may explain the difference

I found a local supply of plfr6A-11's so I'll go with that @ $30 each kiwi. $20 cheaper per plug than Nissan NZ's quote and available at short notice.

Who has done this? What did it cost? I'm at 140 k and thinking it's time I did it but finding it will be quite an expense.

DARWIN - Try before you buy, or risk getting burnt. A man who had just bought a used car for $8,000 was about to refuel at a Darwin petrol station when it was engulfed by flames. The 26-year-old was driving through Berrimah when he noticed sparks and flames beneath his new purchase. When he pulled into a Caltex service station to fill up the tank shortly before 8pm (CST) on Thursday night, there was smoke and flames coming from under the vehicle, police said. Aware of the petrol all around him, the driver rushed into the station and alerted the console operator who immediately shut down the bowsers. By then, the car was well alight. "Police and fire units attended the scene to find the Nissan Skyline Coupe engulfed in flames near bowsers at the service station," police said in a statement.

I drove mine for another month and it finally gave up as I neared home after a long trip away.

I paid NZ$1450 plus gst for my front rotors and calipers and new pads plus 4 repalcement wheels, 2 of which had to be reconditioned inclusive.

that seems awfully cheap

NZ 1 (beat you aussies to it ha ha)

I got me one of these bad boys and it's mounted just above the air vent on the right hand side of the steering column if it hadn't have been for this thing's voltmeter flashing I would have been oblivious to the radiator incident I had recently whereby the fan shat the belt driving the alternator

I would have had after last weekend but it proved to be too much of a mission as basically the whole dash and console has to come off to get at it and it just wasn't cost-effective for me to do it after having gone through all this just some weeks ago to install my new amp.

go to autolign and ask them they should be able to help you with some bilsteins for $800 or so http://www.autolign.co.nz/Branches.asp

you can't be far off that then can you?

this is what I have now I think on the front, standard rears needed new rims and some drilling and clearance is just sooo fine of caliper to the rim barely more than a mm but looking and feeling good

I bought my warranty from drive right for a grand and has been good 2 claims so far for radiator or fan issues and no fusses got my towing paid for on last one and that wasn't cheap so all good there too you have it correct on the headlight price - very expensive - xenon unit too, could be more now with exchange rate it pays to be fully insured

crs top of carlton gore rd by park rd grafton did my turbo recon though schofield's should be able to assist and will be much quicker autolign mt wellington can help you with suspension issues

lil jap girl keeps on telling me to brakey you whenever I push something

you'd be right pixel8r when my turbo blew I had nowhere near the torque I had before and nowhere near the torque of a 25de that I test drove either

good point maybe but more a problem of age of equipment perhaps as both incidents of cooling failure occurred in winter or colder autumn weather the turbo is just one of those things as others here will no doubt agree

my bitches: turbo blew 80 odd k top radiator split at filler neck 100 odd k viscous fan shat itself and ruptured radiators 138 k other than that is a fine piece of work, very well sound insulated and pulls/pushes like a train 2001 rs4 250 t (cold weather edition)

back on road after 2nd hand parts were sourced tk tested and no head gasket issues so all good there

I can't believe you haven't upgraded your head unit yet iamhe

how much you paid? and do you need to get those other parts you mention or is that a wish ist?
