Hey all, i have a mate who falls under the p-plate resictions and loves the stagea. are there any known n/as in aus? can they be imported?

Cheers all,

WTF33R

If he can afford an M35 they are available N/A however the C34 series N/A models dont meet the power to weight ratio to qualify for import under SEVS

2.5ltrs of n/a power pulling 1700 odd kg's. He'd be better off getting a push bike, or just walking. It'd be quicker :) I still think they should have looked at a VG30 out of the Z32 or even better a VH45 from the cima or something like that. Ummmmmmmm blown V8 stagea :unsure:

P.S If he saves from now till he gets off his P's he could get a nice 260RS Stagea. It'd be worth the wait imo.

The poor sod in question here, is me.

Indeed, I have fallen in love with Stageas (they're beautiful.. in an ugly sort of way). Presently am on my Ls, but am 2 months off getting my Ps. Once I get my Ps, am going to buy the Stagea, and con the RTA in giving me a turbo exemption. If that fails, of course, I'll rip out the turbo, bung in an aftermarket ECU, and live with that until I can get some turbo happening. Yes, I am aware it will move slower than a turd, but it's an auto, and a wagon anyway - it's not like I'm buying it for performance.

Waiting until I'm off my Ps is not an option.

Some of you may be wondering about the username too.. well, I currently have a Corolla, and anyone who knows me from any of the Toyota sites will tell me I'm going to "the darkside" (Shh! Don't tell them!). Nuts to them. RB25 powah!!

But the RTA does say something along the lines of "Although your vehicle may not be listed here, it may still be restricted" iirc.

EDIT:

Just checked for myself..

"NISSAN STAGEA RS4 4D WAGON 6 2498 cc TURBO MPFI 4A 1996 TURBO 6"

It's on the list :wub:

ah, well there you go. They must have added it recently, because it wasn't on the list when they first brought out the law.

why not get a 1997 stagea then, it's not on the list :/

Sadly, you're a bit far away. That's my kinda budget though

Anyway, Im looking to import.

Wouldn't "importing" ska's car be a whole lot easier than dealing with shipping, compliance and the wait? Its a known quantity and seems to be well set up.

I guess so, but I'm fussy :P I guess it's just personal preference wether to import or to buy locally.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
