hi all

long time lurker, rare poster (but that's certainly changing)

i've recently put down a (fully refundable) deposit on a 1999 C34 S2 Stagea RS Four S.

bit more info here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pu...ag-t289922.html

it's black, awd and manual :(

i was hoping that someone with experience with an RB25 DET Neo might be able to help come and check it out with me in a few weeks (experience with C34 Stagea's is a bonus!)

it's currently on a boat, due to arrive in about 2-3 weeks

it's being shipped to Nagoya Motors (who seem to get mixed reviews here)

happy to pay petrol costs and a 6 pack of beer for your trouble?

will be looking to you guys as well for hints and tips, as this will be my first import (know a bit about them, subscribed to Zoom and HPI for years)

thanks in advance guys

cheers

Where abouts are you located? Where abouts is Nagoya Motors located? Would it be a weekend/weekday?

To be honest, it will take you a hell of a lot for you to say no to it now that it's already on its way. You would only say no if you had to, like if you turned the motor over and you heard a big end knock :(

Got any pics of the engine bay?

i'm in the Sutherland Shire

Nagoya is at Taren Point (about 5-10 mins from Cronulla)

would be a weekend, as i work Mon-Fri (but they're open 7 days)

i'm still a bit undecided on the car tbh, having not had a chance to drive a manual one, but drove the auto.

the auto i found was not too bad, so hoping the manual is a fair whack better

they took the car off the website after i put a deposit on it, but essentially it's the same as this:

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
