Said my good-byes to mine.

After waiting 2.5 weeks for the assessor to assess it, it is now a total loss and will be going through Pickles sometime soon.

Damn good car and was running beautifully even after 230,000kms. Will be missed.

I'm assuming accident; occupants all ok? Too soon for plans on a new Stagea?

That's miserable Cam; here's me whining about a scratch.confused.gif

Damn Cam! Everyone is ok?

No chance of a buy back and rebuild?

With 230000km; it's probably a good opportunity to go again, if he's that way inclined.

PNM35 + http://www.skylinesa...25#entry6122625 = awesome?

haha, perspective eh?

Yep, I was fine. Nobody else in the car thankfully.

Can buy back for $6k. Dunno the full extent of the damage but the front Axis S panels add up to $3.5k from Nissan, then there are the NM35 parts that need to be replaced.

Haha, there is a cheaper kit on SAU at the moment but I dunno if the HKS is the one I'd go for.

Depends on what I get I guess, but yes going PM35.

Good to hear.

Lol, at least you're not buying a 200SX...

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

So it was primarily panels? Not structural at all? Might be worth picking up at auction if the price is right. $6k seems a bit rich to me.

Who was your insurer? 2.5 weeks to get the assessment seems absurdly long!

Shannons are my insurer and I was surprised in the delay also.

Might have something to do with the car being at a "regional" repair shop though.

Structural? I don't know. I was told that the chassis rail were fine but I only got to have a quick look at it in the dark before the truck took it away.

You don't stand a chance. It will become turbo- once the bug has bitten you don't go back.

I say- PM35 (thats the rwd one) 6 Speed conversion, APS TT kit. Built internals. THAT would be one hell of a Stagea.

No longer exists.

Power Enterprise TT or Momentum Performance single perhaps?

So you mean a built 350s with twin turbo, eh?

Yup. Twins is something PNM/NM35s will never achieve. There is something called a driveshaft that prohibits that kind of fun dry.gif

Simple - RWD- get a TT kit, awd get a single turbo kit. Or supercharge to to be different?

Plenty of stuff out there to build a VQ35de. Thankfully parts are sort of cheap and plentiful thanks to the US market. I was looking at Tomei conrods today for ~$900 USD, add some Cosworth 9.0:1 pistons (not so cheap), studs, uprated gaskets, bearings and slap together. Make 500hp on 14psi, and find a plentiful supply of re5r05a.

I knew it was going to happen, but having so many bits readily available, I've been putting a couple of lists together... on if I get RWD and one if I get AWD rolleyes.gifblush.gif

True, I have certainly missed it and I'm sure will continue to do so (currently driving around in a Mazda 3 and will soon be taking the Magna as my daily).

Don't envy you at all working on a 300zx.

Thanks man, getting the payout and not buying mine back. It is being picked up to go to Pickles today I am told.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
