Alex not this coming thurday but i think the next one iftheres no more delays/ let me know. I will be thers on fridau probably to drop off the oils for my car. let ma know.

Yudy,

Also I am sure the fuel tank in the Stagea is different to the GTR so the filter is different and the sump on the stagea is different which brad has mentioned Before during his GTR engine conversion so the oil filter probably is different and if they require genuine parts this may be added cost.

ok the sump on stagea rs fours, and gtr's and 260rs's are all the same identical part. oil filter is normal gtr size and same for a rb25 if i remember correctly (z145a is part no. on rb26, whats the rb25???)

so they are both same parts as gtr's and rs4's so no additional costs are needed over these other models.

hope it helps

Brad

BTW should i get my car detailsed and thoroughly washed by the detailer since its been at the see for 2 mths and sombody saud something they used a corrosice disinfectant to sterilixe the car.

Ctuise thats exactly what i mean. but anyway main priority is to get the car out.

Correct, Brad, the oil filter on the RB25s is also the Z-145a.

err guys wjpse part number is that Z-145a? is it nissan or ryco or wat?

Z-145A is a Ryco number. The easiest way to get the correct Nissan part (if your dealer has no idea what a Stagea is - most of them don't), is ask for one to suit an R31 Skyline.

ok thanks cruise!! I wonder how you know all this part numbers?!

cause im nissans best customer hahaha, ive got a couple of old oil filter boxes in my garage from my run in oil changes i been doing so i just went outside and grabbed it to get the no. i didnt have it stored in my head its abit of a big number to remember :)

i have spent more time in the past 12 months under/in/on my stagea than i sleep, that i could name a spanner size for almost any bolt on that entire car (dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing though haha :banana: )

Yea cruise probaly the car now is your mistress now ;) . Well its good at least you got a thing that you really like doing and enjoying the moment now. At least you got the knowledge and the experience. As for me im totally a newbie. I can change oilds, radiator fluid, brake pads( i think). Changing fan belts but othere than that im totally dumbfound.

HMMM!! probably i should carnapped your car :D . HAHAH!!! just kidding buddy.

hahah, i have a timing belt change down to about a 30 min job which most workshops charge a fortune for, its something ive done about 5 times in a row from front cam seals leaking so i know what bolt sizes every single thing is hehe. engines been in and out minimum 5-6 times and gearbox seriously in and out 15 times atleast from sorting out clutch issues. i think i remove the engine like people do oil changes hehe.

ive almost given up on that car sooo many times but all the money and time ive spent i want to feel and see the end result before some other lucky bugger gets it for half of what its worth :D

and sorry to get offtopic mate, good luck with the 260rs i wish i had bought one instead of doing the conversion stuff around :D

thanks bud. Yea the reason why i bought the 260rs is i dont need to do much to it/ you know like conversion and stuff like that. ALthough i might be very tempted to get a whole new engine block though. Replacing the current one with weither A rb26Z2 which is tuned bt Nismo or by HKS or HRD. But i like to keep the specs original though. Plus labor costs are CRAZY!! now. Im sure you guys know about it. From economical point of view buying RS4s then upgrading it to a Rb26 actually costs more than a 260rs if you take into calculations of your time spent on it and the loss time(therefore loss of income).

But then again it all comes down to the amount of cash at hand when you buy the car. I used every single resources that i can get (not financing) to get the 260rs. Not trying to be smart ass but thats the way i was thought in my econ class.

Hope fully the car will come out from the compliance place w/o any hassles. I blew the budget by at least $500 at tleast at the moment. Im just waiting from my insurer to confirm wheter the current alarm system on the car is sufficient for them. If not i have to get a new set of oz alram system with immobilise installed. THis will cost me rougly $350 installed by the compliance.

Wish me luck man :D

thats a bonus for sure, so is late next week if all goes to plan the pick up week?

yea probably next week if i can to pick it up on thursday after lunch. then i will have timme to get it rego then into racepace for full body check up ;) And i just found out that all my parts have arrived from Japan except for my nismo echaust :dry:

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
