finally got to drive the stagea first time in 5 weeks , and misses put the new plates on when she picked me up at the air port :)

Nice!

Plates would've been cheaper than parking at Sydney airport...

Unfortunately this is the latest photo of my stag. insurance wanted to write it off, seems anything over 10 years old(and hard to find parts for) isn't worth fixing. Had to work out a deal with the panel beater to supply the panels needed and hopefully they will fix it. Wasn't really that bad but dents and scratches on most of the front panels.

Anyone else had run in's with insurance on imports?

not trying to moove too far off topic my premium is about $880 with $1100 excess

and i live in a shit post code atm.

manual stags hav a higher excess too :(

and just to stay on topic,

new ride height

All fixed!

Did you end up getting it fixed through insurance or did you sell your wheels to pay for it? Just kidding looks good are you putting the other wheels back on?

Thanks Marko. Yeah went through insurance but bought the panels myself and they dropped the excess to compensate. Wheels will be back on soon. Have to roll the new guard and the paint is still soft so might wait a bit.

Right now would be the best time to roll the guards IMO; soft paint is going to be much more forgiving.

Dale is correct. Well the right time would have been before paint, but since that didn't happen just be careful and do it now

    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions. 
    • I like your thinking! Looking forward to see how it turns out.
    • You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.
    • So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!    
    • If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
