I'm looking at buying a stagea... this week and paper work could be sorted friday.

i was just wondering how hard it is to get parts and are they usually more expensive?

it's a 98 rs4.

with engine parts could these just come from an australian skyline of the same engine type?

and in regards to panels will they be purely imported unless we're lucky enough to find a wrecked one?

cheers, Mick

you have pretty much hit the nail on the head. there are more parts for the serries one than the 2. more and more parts and cars are now becoming more plentiful. most parts can be bought direct through nissan (exported from japan)

there is no australian delivered skyline (other than the r31) but repco and other aftermarket parts stores have the r33 listed (they may as well been australian delived they are like dogs balls)

The stagea is a cross breed between the 33 and the 34 mechanically and unique in most body parts.

Exactly right. That said, if all else fails, parts can be purchased directly from Nissan (but they are crazy expensive). 9 times out of 10, you'll be able to find almost any body part quite quickly with the exception of rust-free front doors (I had 1 door skin replaced, and the other repaired - they all rust just below the side mirrors)... They're now poplular enough that they're getting a lot less rare at the wreckers...

thanks all. thats good to hear, although i am in w.a ....

That actually works in your favour. There are a few yards in Perth that already have non complied S1 & S2's bought in for parts, as they are a popular (read cheap) way of getting second hand RB25DET's.

I have just been trying to source a new windscreen and it has been a fair pain in the arse i gota say, i haven't tried lookign at wreckers etc for a second hand one though so if that would do you then i guess it would be easier but me on the otherhand wanted new. Mainly because my insurance (shannons) is covering it as it is part of the policy. Has taken me almost 2 weeks of calling all different nissan places and windscreen mobs before acutally getting someone to check stock in Japan. It is now bing shipped and the cost of the part alone is over $900, so as you can imagin im reasonably happy im not the one paying. My windscreen is cracked but not undrivable thankfully glad i didn't need it in a hurry. Also something that i found interesting was that guy at nissan told me there were 4 different varieties of windscreen available for a stagea and that he needed the specific model number etc before it could be ordered... don't see how there would be a difference between them though?

Anyway just my 2c :D cheers

The windscreens themselves don't differ, however different levles of kit had different glass treatments/upper screen tints etc.

I find it kinda surprising you can't get one tho, I know a few people on here have had theirs repelaced by windscreens o'brian with no dramas

Welcome to the Stagea section, as people say there are many sources, hope you never need body panels but if you do <www.importmonster.com.au> seems to be a good starting point, browse "wgnc34" & see what comes up.

Regards GW

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
