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

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
