Hey guys,

Well, I've been looking at Stageas for a while (own a gts-t r32.... anyone interested, bit average, 6.5k) and found one cheap enough that looked good.... under 10k incl rego etc. Bit worried about pricing, but have 200 photos of it to put me at ease.... Dark blue s1 with books (bonus).... Looking at 3 months wait... is this normal? hopefully importer quoted over time but not counting on it! Can't wait to get it! Seems to be stock except for an earthing kit and possibly Dayz body kit..... Hope I got a good buy!

Tim :laugh:

There's one on j-spec that sounds just like that... it's well under 10,000, cheap as. If 200 photos look ok then it could be a bargain... a stag for under 10,000! Good luck with it!

Starting to see prices like that more and more now from Japanese auctions for series 1's. Although photo's can tell a lot of the story are the log books supplied current, can you get a mechanical inspection over there. This is being offered by a lot of brokers now I believe, however I'm not sure of the cost involved in doing this. I don't want to make you worry about it or anything thought, quite a few people here have imported their stageas and there haven't been any major problems that I've read about yet.

So good luck with it and hope it all works out well, the wait sucks though :laugh:

Just paid for it today! And, yep, it is actually the one on J-Spec... Pretty cheap I know, but looks ok to me... heaps of detailed photo's provided. One of the selling points for me was that it isn't silver.... Keeping my fingers crossed that its on ok car, although obviously not expecting immaculate for that price! This is the first car I've imported so I'm a little nervous...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
