Will do,

can anyone tell me from the photos does it have the navi and all the bells?

Make sure you inspect it well. I've bought a few theft recovered vehicles and there could be significant stuff that you can't see. The crim could have driven it over kerbs, trashed the hell out of the motor or gearbox (they do that sort of s*#t to them). I'd be checking the underside and suspension. If you can start it that'd be good too (they will let you and sometimes help with a jump). Find the compliance plate too as you may have rego issues if it's gone.

From the looks of it it had an aftermarket stereo (face plate is not on), OEM didn't have removeable faceplate. It's got the screen but that doesn't neccesarily mean it'll work, if the DVD Rom was removed when they fitted the stereo it won't work at all.

Hopefully that wont be happening for a long while.. i've wanted a stagea for so long now!

Hope it has been worth the wait, they are a great car to drive that's for sure. I can't believe I was considering blowing masses of money on a new Holden Commodore Sportswagon.

I'm also glad I seen the Stagea before I went and brought a VZ second-hander too, I looked at a few but they no where near as good as a Stagea.

Hopefully we will catch up with you at the meet next month :(

Yes, all the AWD ones do.

I used it getting into Hotham (which is at 1750m) in the middle of a blizzard after rain. so the road was icy and very slippery. But this mode made it easy as you don't get the boost coming on so quickly so it avoids all the excess torque as you keep the car going.

Cheers

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
