HEY im thinking of buying a Nissan Stagea from SSV imports on Clayton rd and Princess Hwy . . . .now im trying to sus them out but they wont say anything negative about themselfs .... they always have Stageas in Stock along with Delica's .... Supra's ... 33-34... Rx7 and the odd GTO...

If anyone has delt with them or anyone other dealership that imports ... please list and review so i can do my research firmly and not just dive into what i think may be a good deal ...

Thanks heaps people

.... OR to put it in forum rules (And a little more circumspect)....

J-spec A+

Prestige A+

SSV recommended by others

Kamikaze has been recommended.

JSA does not have a grading that can be posted, due to forum rules.

I'd talk to funky munky here before importing though. Yes he is part of J-spec, but he knows his stuff.

Read between the (sky)lines

SSV was one of the dealerships i visited when looking for my skyline. Top place, great prices, and Mark knows his stuff. Saff_cossie bought his evo from them. Their cars look pretty much faultless - Id really look at their cars when considering buying one. I went with GTAuto in the end because I got a better deal though.

I hear J-Spec does lots of Stageas, so probably can't hurt to go with them.

We comply them, but don't usually bring them in unless for a customer buying using our auction service.

cheers,

david @ carizma

also, probably the nicest import showroom I've seen is grand turismo on spencer street...it's not a yard, it's a showroom

IB4TL :D

GTA in West Melb

GTA = Grand Theft Autos (plus you can't trust a car salesman who looks like Joe Pesci)

LOL! Atleast they let me test drive the R32 GTR they had, but it was being driven by an employee at the same time their are selling it. Wouldn't give me a price and take no trade ins.

JSA Imports, got a few cars but if ya wanna know a story PM me.

I bought my car from Carizma so ask him(David) on this forum for details.

kamikaze had quite a range too.

Best is to check out the dealers for yaself and see how they all are. BTW bring a mechanic with you if not ya not one.

SSV - A+++ Purchased my R33 through them last year, great example, great price, great blokes to deal with. One of my mates

also just purchased a 34 GTT through them, again a perfect example at a reasonable price. Go with them.

Carisma - Purchased my S15 silvia through them in '03, it was a clean car and they were happy to help after the sale.

Cheers,

Thanks for the comment.

stolen_s15: By the way, saw your signature: we got a brand new R33 S2 windscreen fitted for one of our cars for $200 bucks at our mechanic. Why are you looking for used?

Just wanting to get it done as cheap as possible, but if thats the price of a new one then I'll do that.

i dunno, SSV gave me the impression that they are f*k heads, they bad every other shop out there and constantly think there top notch.

i wouldn't buy a car from them personally, because all there cars sit ouside 365 days a year during all conditions, unlike kamakaze all there stock are inhouse sealed away.

of course non of this matter if ur directly importing from japan.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
