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.

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

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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
