Hi,

I'm currently looking at buying a Nissan Stagea that's yet to be complied to save myself some $'s. I'm located in Adelaide, and the car is in Melbourne. What are my options? Can I get it complied in Adelaide if I buy it and drive it back with trade plates? (I can borrow a mates plates). It's a completely stock S2 RS4 Neo.

Thanks in advance.

Id forget about buying an uncomplied car altogether. Although you might save some $$...that will be made up x10 by headaches and stress, i guarantee it.

Agreed.

The few of these that I've known have been bitches.

What often happens is someone imports it, and may not like the car, usually because it's crap. So, they recover the money by on selling.

To comply it you'll need a lot of paperwork (De-reg info, customs info, etc.) and chasing it up in a different name is a pain in the butt.

If I can offer advice, I'd say avoid it.

Ask him to get it complied and rego'd, adding the cost of this to the car.

The better option would be to contact J-spec or prestige and import it yourself though.

It's all your choice, but I am yet to hear good news from people buying uncomplied cars, and several bought cars that could NOT be complied (due to rust in towers, conflicting engine/ chassis numbers, too many aftermarket parts, etc.)

I'm sure there must be some people who have bought a bargain, but I'd advise against trying, especially for a stagea. They'r

e too nice to do it half arsed.

exactly how do dotars feel about changing raws after the import approval has been submitted ?

I know of a couple that have happened because raws went bust/closed down ect but they seemed to want reasons

can you just do it if you change your mind or buy the car before its complied off someone else ?

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
