Im not too sure whether it was from a Nismo Stagea or a Autech, i never knew there was 2 different types, but i definately know it was from a turbo Stagea.

To answer your second question, yes i do have a Blue slip which was needed for registration, otherwise i wouldnt have been able to get the car passed. My mechanic told me who checked my car said everything was fine and all i had to do was take the aftermarket air filter off and put a standard one back on just to get it passed to cover his back. The intercooler and exhaust was done by a mob over at Smithfield with the mechanic Dave doing it and the enigne change was done by a guy who i was told about who knew about his stuff and was helped by a guy from SSS automotive with the elcectrical wiring etc. So yeah, everything is fine and on record at the RTA for proof. Also you can get a silencer for the exhaust which may be over the sound limit but for the 1/2 year i have had the exhaust on it, i have never been pulled up about it. But i have the stock exhaust still here if you like to take if you buy the car just incase.

If you like, just give me a ring and i can show you the car sometime on the weekend.

so only exhaust and air filters are defects?

front mount and clutch is fine?

-------

does the car have tints? do u have log books? how many k's have the tires done? air con? how long have u owned the car for?

was gonna speak to u on phone abt that - but i've got a sore throat

Well i know many people with the same kind of 3" exhaust systems and havent been pulled up about it so im not sure whether its classed as a defect or not. The air filter, well, id say in "legal" terms its callsed as defect but just like the exhaust, i know many people with them and havent been asked about it, so im not sure on an exact answer.

The front mount intercooler is fine aswell as the clutch. The clutch had been upgraded to support the stress. Its a heavy duty Daikin clutch.

The car is tinted. I have no log books though but everythign was changed with new soark plugs/iol and everythign when the conversion was done about 5000km's or less ago.

Im not sure how many k's the tyres have done as they were on there from the previous owner but the tyres dont have much tread at all. They need new tread quite soon but im guessing whoever buys it will put bigger wheels on it anyhow and sell the smaller wheels.

Yep the air conditioner is perfectly fine. I replaced the condenser in it and re-gased it so its all perfectly working.

I have owned the car for about, getting close to a year i think, not too sure to be exact.

hmmm i'll take the exhaust and filter as defect

who was the car purchased off? do u have receipt if it was off dealer? what was the reason for engine transplant? how much did it cost? receipt to engine transplant?

are u free on sunday? i'd come down in the morning to have a look at it

It was purchased off a guy who was in the airforce and he told me that he got it imported while he was in QLD. I got it in the tradingpost. I dont have the reciept for when i purchased the actual car off him as it was a private deal and wouldnt have meanbt nothing.

The reasonm for the transplant was because i wanted it to be 4WD and turbo like the GTR, but of course wihtout the twin turbo. It has great handling and traction with the 4WD.

The Stagea engine itself cost $3300 i think with the ECU etc. But then i added the boost gauge, clutch, intercooler, exhaust, 3 point immobilizer, GTR wing and so on.

The car itself cost me $16500 stock non-turbo and the whole cost of converting it was close on $10000. It was either more or less. Little things like the wiring had to be all reconfigured

to match it with the Stagea ECU wiring of the GTS4 so it cost me alone $800 alone for 2 sessions for the guy to come out to get that done properly! I have the reciept for the engine etc and exhaust and intercooler.

Yep im free sunday if you like to see it, just give us a call on my mobile.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
