so if the price they quote says $xxx landed and complied...but doesnt include the parts swapping...what part of the compliance is worth the $4000 that is mentioned... :P

The biggest part $4K (compliance should cost under 3K for a stock Stagea now) goes towards is the cost of being a Comp shop and the lack of competition at present for Stagea compliance... There is nothing within the process that is of any great cost/value that needs to be done to the car.

$2750 at IAMSHE for my compliance :whistling: Wont get it any cheaper than that...

We just payed double that to comply one of our 2 stagea's this week... I can assure you the market isnt dropping at the moment with the lack of compliers and plates floating around....

IAMSHE have put the price up to $3000 plus GST plus tyres for a series 1 and $3250 plus for series 2

Still alot better than the other 2 compliance centres

Has anyone tried the company in Melbourne?

They are on the Dotars site

Looks like I am in the wrong business! I paid $2750 for comp, total invoice was over $4K with added extras (front indicators, timing belt, labour etc.) and GST. Plus I had to locate and send them standard wheels (thanks Alex) then get them shipped back down here, which cost more than the rims in the first place! I'd always budget for a blow out in that area from now on, there's always something...

Thats why I ended up buying locally (Qld, private, search CoolPC).

You get to see the car, drive the car, and for $17900 at the time was same price as a Stagea at the jap auctions (close enough anyway) to not be bothered with the importing hassles and budget blowouts.

I searched and searched the market for around 8 months before finding a neat Stagea that stood out (ie Dayz edition, go the Dayz, you rock Mr. Dayz!), that was in good condition with low kms with some history behind it.

anyway - Handling........... prior to Sydneykids suspn group buy I thought it handled pretty good (let down by the budget tyres). However, now with 17s and awesome tyres and most of Garys suspn kit (standard springs, no castor kits) it handles brilliently.

For a turbocharged intercooled tuned 4wd automatic wagon, anyway! LOL

Im a happy happy Panda (actually, would love a carbon bonnet to make the Panda look!)

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
