darrinspencer Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sorry, I should have been more specific. Was it in a car yard in Japan (that J-Spec contacted), or did J-Spec bid on it for you at auction in Japan?Cheers It was with a dealer/caryard A few days earlier I payed 390,000 FOB for a series 1 98 dayz model with 109k's from auction Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/120448-inexpensive-s1/page/2/#findComment-2235381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66yostagea Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) The 97 RS4V of J-Spec looks odd in the cargo area. The panel over the spare wheel looks too narrow. Any comments?

qikstagea Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 wow thats incredible - less than 12.5k landed and complied... that devalues mine a lil bit then ey. Its done more than 3x the distance mine had, though, i guess. Oh and it has the DAYZ kit... ive noticed that the grey ones are generally a lil bit cheaper, theres a lot more of them. How would it go being complianced though, having had a manual conversion, big wheels, exhaust and suspension? what do you have to do with that?

Wildcat Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) most things have to be put back to standard....mine is just a dayz 97 model which had wheels and sports suspension and i had to get standard rims and i had to borrow stock suspension off another stagea driver to get it over compliance! (which is still going..2 and half weeks later) I think it also really depends on your compliance place, but majority of them return the car to 'stock' Edited June 14, 2006 by Wildcat Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/120448-inexpensive-s1/page/2/#findComment-2256236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrinspencer Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 So what they have to put an auto back into it???? The main issue would be the hole cut thru the floor for the manual shifter and the hand brake mounting Would not be to "original" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/120448-inexpensive-s1/page/2/#findComment-2256253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikstagea Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 So what they have to put an auto back into it???? hmm i dont see the point of buying a "race import only" stagea if that is the case. says 12,100 landed and complied... how accurate is that, then? Sounds like buying a modified car can be more trouble than its worth, even one as cheap as this. May be that is why its cheap. hassle-tax.

Wildcat Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 i would have no idea about the manual..hopefully they would let that through : as for the 12,100 landed and complied i dont think that would be too close to the mark...cause that is just standard compliance that doesnt take into account taking parts off getting standard parts fitting those and then putting the others back one...hopefully the compliance shop wouldnt take advantage and charge a fortune... i tell you mine was 10600 landed and complied and i am going to hit about 13k so it was a little off the mark for mine too, but that is because of my extras that had to be taken off and put back on and find stock parts etc!

darrinspencer Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Wildcat The shop doing my compliance has stock parts in the shop ie shocks, wheels, exhaust Only charges $50/hr to remove and replace if needed, so maybe 2-4 hrs if needed Also, what does the WA shop charge for compliance out of interest? I was quoted $13,800 landed and complied Will be $13,450 landed and complied Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/120448-inexpensive-s1/page/2/#findComment-2256309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 yeah darrin if i did go to brisbane i think i wouldnt have had much dramas as bretts (MrGTST) seemed to have no problems and was pretty much what we were told. WA is more expensive than brissie...but with all of the extras they are charging i think i will be the 5k mark just to get the bloody thing complied! The only reason why it came to wa is because it was suppose to be here 3 weeks before bretts was....and brett got his yesterday I think mine will be able 13k on the road ready to go Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/120448-inexpensive-s1/page/2/#findComment-2256354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
