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.

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.

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.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
