another new thread for a new arrival to the country.

After 4 months of waiting I finally saw and drove my new 99 RS stagea tonight. And omg it's so awesome lol.

I work in the new car industry, holden and mazda, and compared to anything new by them, this feels so much better to drive! its so smoothe and comfortable. Mind you I'm coming from a background of owning R31s, but yeah.

I'll get pics up asap. It's only standard, complete with moulded mudflaps, but it's mint, bar some rust under the mirrors on the doors, and a couple of bumper scrapes.

just thought i'd share my excitement and remind you all how nice stag's are. ehehe :down::P

first issue. i cant go over half throttle without it jurking around, like its starving for fuel :P my importer reckons the engine bay was washed out this morning and its playing up, i hope its just water in coilpacks or something...

but anything under half throttle its awesome and smoothe

oh and it's gone through bout 1/8th tank of fuel in 35km's... seems a bit steep since ive been babying the hell outta it.

off topic , but how much did it set you back to get this done?

enjoy your new addiction, rust repair under 1 mirror and stonechip touch up plus leftover paint approx $500( buy the way grey is the new black :O,generally always looks clean and looks great when wet, specially at night)

ok rust cut out of one door and repainted... I have custom black paint with a blue sparkle/spec through it and that was $400 cash (shh).. the other side was covered by insurance due to damage caused by lane splitting motor cyclist lol

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
