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 :w00t:

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

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?

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' :P

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.

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!

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

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 :P I think mine will be able 13k on the road ready to go

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
