On Saturday night, I finally won a Stagea at auction in Japan

Should be here in approx 3-4 weeks, and then off to compliance.

I do not have any photo's yet, but will do by the end of the week

Series 1, Pearl white, twin sunroof, 17 wheels, exhaust, Dayz side skirts and front and rear skirt, rear wing. Grade 4BB

Stage 1 Mods- Once I get it complied and registered, I will be doing the front R34 GTR conversion, new side skirts and rear bar and fit the 34 GTR wheels. Will need to be lowered too.

Stage 2- more power of course!

Nice one Darrin!

Sounds like what I was searching for, love the Dayz kit (even though you are planning on changing it) and the twin sunroofs. Hope all goes well, who are you getting compliance through? PM me if you don't need it to be public.

Cheers

Luke

Craig told me you had the R34 guards lined up already... did you get em straight from masa or a locally made copy?

Congrats on the car dude, glad you didn't end up buying the damaged one off your mate.

I bought the guards thru a agent Masa put me onto to deal with.

The guards, along with a genuine 34 gtr front bar and the 34 GTR wheels are all on 3 different ships in the pacific ocean somewhere

Will hopefully get them this week or next week

There is a set of moulds locally, but the owner did want to make me a set.

It is good timing too, the yen has gone from 85 to 89 in the last week

The other guy is not really a mate, I just know him!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
