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 ?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
