Yea it's been amazing fun, hope it can go to a good home.

I am not realistically expecting 25g for it, so if anyone is genuinely interested, then please make me an offer!

People will probably want to see the car before being able to make any serious kind of offer .... you'll only most likely get silly offers sight unseen.

By the way, upon sale will it come fully complied with RWC, ready for the new owner to simply take to their local roads authority to register ?

Edited by Simon_Koala

Being a private import it has to be first registered in the name of the person on the import approval, ie. me, and to be registered it obviously first needs to be complianced. So upon sale it will only require the same paperwork as any other used car would.

Here is he latest on getting her back to Australia and registered:

Due to paperwork hassles, it has been put back a ship and will now be arriving around December 20th. After customs/quarantine and transport to my parents place it will have the roof replaced (it probably won't pass roadworthy as it is) and then be fitted with a personal import plate and registered. All this should be finished around early/mid January, when it will be ready to pass on to a buyer.

Received the Bill of Lading from the shipping company today which means she is now on her way to Australia. Will be arriving on December 19th, all going to plan.

I assume you have insurance to cover damage, forklift marks, etc... from the loading onto the ship and for the trip over ?

It's being shipped with KIWI who have insurance included in their price, but on what I've read and heard, trying to get money out of them if the car is damaged is next to impossible. Then again it's apparently true of all the shipping companies, it seems to be a dodgy trade.

The car has arrived and I have recieved the invoice from the broker meaning the car has already passed quarantine/customs and is ready to be transported from the docks.

  • 3 weeks later...

The car has been picked up from the broker in Adelaide and was in perfect condition. It will have the roof fixed hopefully in the next two weeks and then be ready for compliance/registration.

  • 2 weeks later...

It was sent to the panel beaters yesterday to have the roof fixed which should be completed within two weeks. From there it is off to get complied and registered. I know it is taking a long time to get it ready for sale, but for those interested please be patient, the wait is killing me too!

The roof ribs needed replacing and had to be ordered from Japan, which could take up to 15 days. So it looks like she will be at least another month before she gets on the road.

For those interested in the car, I'm sorry about the endless delays. Please bear with me.

  • 2 weeks later...

It is having its roof fixed at the moment. The ribs had to be ordered from Japan and only came on the weekend. It should be back this week, and then it is off for compliance and registration. When it is registered I will be looking to sell it quickly.

Thanks for the interest Simon!!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
