After wrecking one tyre (price you pay for not paying enough attention to tyre wearing pattern :blush: and not checking it after getting the car from a compliance) I went to one tyreshop and they recommended 4 wheel alignment. They had 2 problems :

- they didnt have data for stagea in their computer, so they were going to use Nissan Z380 data

- they could not undo one nut, they didnt want to wreck it or damage bushes by hitting the nut, su they'we done nothing and they recommended me to go and see suspension workshop.

Now, they dilemma I am facing ... what do I do ? :D Should i just get the wheel alignment data from the forum, such as :

Ref wheel geometry, these settings are from SK's thread for his road Wagon "front rear toe =zero, front camber = 1 deg neg, front caster as much as possible, left side 0.25 deg more than right for road camber issues, rear camber 0.5 deg negative.

from http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ment&st=440,

or can someone recommend a tyre shop in Perth where guys know something about Stageas please ? Or I need to go and see suspesion people ?

OR I get Blistein suspension, removed from my car doing compliance process (unknown condition, not sure if everything is there) and get it installed and get everything done after that ?

Any ideas, guys (and gils) :D - please share :P)

PS in any case - would be nice to know about tyreshops in Perth who are dealing with stageas...

Thanks mate, I should get (fingers crossed)back to Perth from lovely Kalgoorlie :blush: on Thursday evening, so if I have a chance I'll pop up to your shop (I recently moved close to Freo) for a chat or more then :D - free wheel alignment sounds tempting, heh ? :D)))))))))))

Edited by And
also wheels world do a great job of alignment/ sussing out suspension problems ..

great service.. but you do pay for it. they were about the only ones that ironed out my suspension problems in the old pulsar I had.

Wilkinson Suspension, Sean, knows my Stagea, (got HICAS lockbars too) also knows GTRs' so there are at least three mobs on the money.

cheers GW :D

PS: Take your Bilstein suspension bits with you, at least to get them checked for useablity?

my 2c.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
