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:

cheers :(

my mate has bought a r34 off them before hasn't had one issue with it,

good luck and early congrates if u buy

seems i'm seeing more positive stories about Nagoya, so i'm feeling a bit better about it

still wouldn't mind someone experienced with the Neo engine to help me out in giving it a once over :)

cheers guys

    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
