just buy it you weak fag so i can kick your ass in my GTR and laugh at your gay wheels. yeah you heard me bum burgler. ;)

sounds good to me. if the body is straight, and it's a Vspec then $25K is not unreasonable to pay. the engine bay in particular looks very clean.

Have a look at this if you want some real track value for money for around the same bucks.

The previous track use of this car is my only issue, and the transport/rego change, but I might have a look at it.

thats true about the previous use but at least you know what internals it has....theres nothing wrong with a car being driven for what it was built for..

but at the end of the day its your choice i just thought that it was a good car to look at considering what you want to do

i dunno, lots of track use shags a car in ways most can only imagine. parts you don't even know exist get worn out. on the other hand it has lots of good gear on it. and on the third hand this one is a Vpsec which definately adds some value and exclusivity. I think I'd probably go for the vspec. ;)

Look at the parts list on the V Spec.

Normally I would opt for the V Spec as well due to it being a more sought after model, however given the modifications, im sure the previous owner in Japan made good use of them, be it at a track or on the street, so I wouldn't write off J-Boys assuming that it has more wear and tear than the V Spec would.

While J-Boys car has been heavily track raced, its got a fair whack of history to back it up, which is a good selling point, not to mention the fact its a proven performer with what appears to be very comprehensive list of upgrades.

At the end of the day, Paulies buying the car to violate at the track, so with that in mind, dollar for dollar, J-Boys is better value.

Disclaimer: I am not getting any kick-backs from J-Boy for my recommendation ;)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
