Thanks

mate link no go for me but if it's the silver one for $36,000 with no rear wing i'd be looking elsewhere(ie j-spec etc)

The link worked OK for me, and Leigh, you are on the button dude.

Personally, not with a barge pole. You could import one yourself for about $10K less, and the odo reading on that HAS to be bull. You couldn't put that much interior wear on a car in less than 40 000kms.

jeez, for that sort of money (and even a fair bit less) you could have an M35.

If its manual you are after, buy this one, and then get the 26 dropped in - you will still see $10K change....

or, if its low km's AND a manual, this...

Its very clean, I looked at buying it. But went with the RS4 they had instead with all the 'trimmings' - leather, sunrooves, S-Tune goodies.

It has a twin plate clutch in it, not overly heavy has the usual 'rattle' they make under no pressure.

Yes it's a little more expensive than importing one yourself. It was 38k when i first saw it. But since it's already here and ready to go, spend some more $$ and take it sooner.

It is very tidy and legit, if I had the extra $$ i would have bought it.

They're easy to deal with, very particular about their cars(have to show real interest before you test drive it, so no hoons have thrashed your potentional car) If you want the wing for it, Ask Paul(owner and drifts Motorman S13) he'll probably get it for you.

However, these are just my opinions and take them or leave them, up to you.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
