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.

      Engine sputter

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?

      That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
