If you want to see more stageas and talk to people first hand, come see us all at the meeting next sunday.

Thats probably the best thing to do really. We can all tell about buying them etc, and one guy only just bought his so great to talk to.

I've just been thru it all (except i'm already in QLD)

Insurance is about $1k from Just Cars and Famous. If your over 25 you may get it cheaper from shannons, but theres not that many insurance compnies who cover imports. There is a thread on here somewhere about stagea/skyline insurance so thatsanother good place to look.

To get a car from interstate, you'd best talk to the dealer(if you go thru one & I'd Highly recommend motovation imports, prices were a bit higher, but quality of the cars were amazing) cause they ship cars interstate daily. When i was buying mine, they were getting another one in & ready to ship for a fellow who lived down in Melbourne. You can get the car inspected for you by a 3rd party(someone living up here or NRMA/RACQ) or you could come up to our lovely state for a bit of a holiday, & search for a car while your here & drive it back down, either way it's probably going to cost you the same if you take into account all the freight fees etc.

yeah i just picked up my stagea and with all mods listed, ecu, boost control, suspension, stero, guages, turbo timer, body kit and so on i got 1k with rating 1 protection from Just Cars. But don't know what things are like with insurance in VIC. Go to www.justcarinsurance.com.au and get an online quote.

gday there, if you want to come to adelaide i have one for sale. it is advertised on carsales.com.au i am asking 18k with 3" exhuast and hybrid intercooler.

let me know,

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
