not with the amount of money that's been thrown at it, it won't. At the end of the day, it's still a Dayz with 135000km on it.... But you don't modify to improve value, and I love it dearly...

What are series 1's selling for these days in Japan?

About 15% more this week than it was last week! (FOB anyway)

Micah, I will give you 12 and a half mate :)

(probably the replacement value of your front brakes truth be known)

:P

Where are you getting complied? And how long all up will it be from payment date to pick up (assuming 2 weeks to comply and register!)???

I ask b/c I have put my money down on my S2 just over one week ago and I'm trying to figure out an approximate "baby come home" date!!!

Mine may take a little longer as I have to register it in NSW... as I live just over the border...

I live in Coffs, so getting it trucked down after compliance. She's getting complied at Shogun (also known as something else.... can't remember now) and it should be about 12 weeks from when I made the first payment to getting it delivered..... can depend a bit on when ships are leaving etc.

Well, it's taken freakin ages, but supposedly my Stag is getting delivered today! It's been at compliance for ~4 weeks.... not their fault, dotars just took that long to get the paperwork back. Probably won't be able to get it blue slipped today, but hopefully on monday! For anyone elses interest, I paid for the car on the 18th of July, so it's taken about 3 months in total......

Sound's about right with the 3 month total time, although 4 weeks for paperwork would have been a painful wait as it was max 10days with both cars i've brought in....bet you cant wait to just get in it now???? lol

yeah, dotars has been a big hold up recently..

my car, along with 18 others was at the compliance yard for about 2 months waiting for approval.

I reckon you got a bloody good deal there- all that $$ you saved can go on a few cosmetic mods.

and.. the wait is all but over - oh I was sooo apprehensive when I saw the car for the first time as I thought - I am going to do my freaking naaanaa if anything has been damaged on it.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
