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.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
