Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

Im Eddie, the new owner of a 1999 nissan stagea rs-four in silver, it is my first

turbo car, my first AWD car and my first wagon, and i absolutely love it.

I first paid a deposit on the car in december last year and a painfull 7 month

wait for importing and complience really tested my patience, but now that its

here it feels like it's worth the wait.

The car is stock as a rock for now, the only thing ive done so far was get a

mongoose alarm installed and am in desperate need of a new headunit as the

stock example apears to have gone past it's used by date.

It apears to have all of the options ticked that are spoken about in the buyers

guide and has only done 37.000 k's, it is simply immaculate.

I look forward to coming to the next meet, the site has been very helpfull with

information and i will be sticking around, i will get some pic's up soon.

7 month import process? Seems a bit long.

If its your first import be aware that the odo reading is probably way off. Its not that hard to wind them back and while Jap cars do a few less km's per year than aussie ones, its usually 10 000 km's per year as opposed to 25-30 000 km's per year.

Other than that, welcome.

Now.

Congrats! I was in your shoes not so long ago, (first turbo car, AWD etc etc) and its been great. You won't have any regrets with your purchase. 37000kms in 8 years is very little... do the maths but that might be wound back even. It about 88kms per week. Want to be careful because the timing belt is due at 100000kms service.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.....

Congrats on the purchase & dam you got some patience. Even that would have tested me & I got more than most.

Enjoy your new toy, be sure to check out the FAQ section, the guys & gals have put together quite a comprehensive library.

thank you for your welcome's and yes the car was a test vehicle for the complience workshop,

i am just glad i had another car at the time, that made it a little bit easyer.

I am aware that the car could be clocked back but if it is it's not by much as the car is prestine,

nothing is worn, no panels have been replaced etc, the private vehicle tester said that he had

never come across such a clean example of stagea.

I have used used the faq section and it has answered many questions, this is an excelent site.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
