Its been like an epic story in the making this car, hearing you getting it organised to ship from Japan, then getting it here, and now getting these repairs done. Quite an adventure ....

Yea it has been. Even though it was my first time importing, I'm not sure if next time the process will be any quicker. It's a time consuming adventure.

can u get them complied i hear there race use only

This one is a personal import, so it can be road registered.

The car is back from getting the roof fixed. Apparently it looks really good. The bonnet, front left guard and front lip have also been repainted as there were some marks in them. I hope to get some more pictures up soon.

very interested... swap with cash? or just cash, lol can do either, but first do you have any recent pictures?

Sorry about the late reply!! No one seems to be interested in evos (not surprising on a skyline forum) so I hadn't checked thread for a while.

As I live in Japan I am not interested in a swap, sorry. The most recent photos are the bottom two rows of photos on the 1st page, and the the far right pic on the third from bottom row. They were taken just after the car came back from having the roof repaired, late last month.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send some more information.

Still ?

What happened to the buyer that you mentioned you had at 21g ? Did they not buy it ?

I'm after more than 21, and he didn't have the cash to go higher.

    • 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.
