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...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
