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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
