the only problem ours had was the snapping of studs but that could have been turbo heat related, as yours is not a turbo it may be fine, also this is only one, isuzu are known to make a reliable truck, any jap trucks are usually ok as long as they are maintained properly, how many k's has it done?

400,000 on it .

Oh realy thats a good sign then. thanks man.

Thats pretty low for something that age, ours hasnt been driven for a few years and has around 800,000 on it, we also have an old international that is about to clock over a million and in the 7 yrs i've been there the only major works is a head gasket and gearbox.

Go for it mate, my dad started out unsure like you, now he always tells me 'if you don't take the dive, then you never start swimming.'

You'll start with one, you can work for yourself as a sub to get cash flow and it's like anything, you keep putting energy into something and it keeps growing.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
