cheers,

If you can find one locally even in another state for not much more than importing go for it.

I have used j-spec a few times to import. No fault of theirs but it always takes longer than you think and costs more.

Do you really want to wait for a car, realistically by the time it is on road, 3 months and not test drive it before you buy?

I imported my last stag through J-spec, I would highly recommend them. Very little trouble at all. I dealt with Ben and he was 100% honest about the car i was getting and gave me an excellant report on it before i purchased.

After buying from a Dealer this time round, I would of much preferred to go through J-spec again, unfortunately i couldn't deal with the waiting time. Like Darrin said...3 months is what you really should expect..But it could easily go longer then that.

The time factor doesn't really bother me, probably better. car probably wouldn't fit in garage i got now so when my house is finished at end of year ill have more room to park it.

I think nowadays there are so many options, if you dont mind waiting then import one, more likely to get exactly what you want that way.

If you dont want to wait then private or a yard is the go.

The market is slow atm locally for stag's so could pick up a good bargain if you look, like mine :)

I have used J-spec for 4 cars so far, and have no problem recommending them.

Wait times have been substantial between purchase and ready to register, but are not necessarily the compliance workshop's fault: I have dealt with ship breakdowns, Japanese holidays, end of financial year, New Zealand's change of import policy (my spots on the boat were taken by cars going to NZ, so they'd arrive before the new laws came into play), etc... If you don't mind the wait, it's well worth importing your own IMHO.

Chaser: 4 months

Legnum 3.5months

V35s: 7.5 months

ive been searching the forum about the factory double din unit that some come with. is there any point in get one with one in it? i know ill have to replace it to get it working in oz. but if i get one without it am i able to fit a double din unit?

i think you'll find that the stock double din xanavi screen is also the climate control, so not that easy to remove. mine didn't have the xanavi screen, just a single din climate control with double din cd player under that. the stagea has 3 din pockets available. now i have the single din climate control unit and a double din 7" touchscreen dvd,cd,etc.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
