Hey Optic, did u get bbs rims? Can anyone confirm that if my rim centrebore is 70mm and stagea Is 66.1mm will there be vibrations coz one wheel place has told me because Nissan is mainly held by the studs and not the hub that I will not need to buy the hub centric rings? Has anyone got larger centerbore measurements on their rims and AREN'T running hub rings without any problems? Cheers ppls :)

Ok sweet, yeh i scored some decent second hand rg722 rims and I'm hoping i don't need the hub rings, but ill test fit next week probably. And fingers crossed no vibrations ;)

Thanks for replying and nice rims, but personally don't like the oldskool mesh types but I do like the dish lol bbs FTW :)

Stag reached the shipping yards in Japan today and will be cut up and thrown into the next available container for Perth.

This is what my new front end will look like once it hits Perth

About 1k for the half cut and other bits I want from it.

Still cheaper to buy the entire car, cut it up and send it back and the MASA kit shipped direct from the supplier.

Plus as a bonus I get manual conversion extra glass and some S2 tail lights.

What??? So are u saying the car was around $1k and shipping for container is like $4k or something (Coz u said that this is cheaper than a MASA kit from nengun or something which I could have sworn I read somewhere that it was around $5-6k delivered)?

You should have done a group buy for space in your sea container or does it only fit one car? got any space left in it still? hahah I wouldn't mind sourcing stuff from Japan but im super noob at importing stuff. Or did u go through someone like import monster or are you pro and know how to import stuff yourself?

Hey all,

Are there any car yards in Perth where I can find a S2 white RS4S with dual sun roofs? I can find a couple in Adelaids but I'd much rather shop here in WA. I'm travelling from Kalgoorlie, so obviously Perth is closer for me!

Cheers, Greg.

P.S. Is the white on S2 the same as the pearl white on the S1? Our S1 was a nice car, only sold to finance our E50 Elgrand. But I want manual again!

:mrt: LOL...I genuinely doubt it

Ive seen like 2 or 3 stageas in the car yards of Perth maybe in the last 2 years lol both of them pos cars and definitely not RS4-S :)

If you want it you gotta commit and fly it back to Perth or drive it if ur keen ;) I was contemplating doing so but figure for $400ish more you may as well ship it to Perth.

Good luck in ur quest :thumbsup:

I was quoted about $1400 to freight a car to Kalgoorlie, so it's much cheaper for me to fly to Adelaids, test a few and drive one home. Decent road trip too!

I'm actually suprised at the lack of import car dealers in Perth. Way more in Adelaide or the east coast.

Adelaide to kalgoorlie for $1400 seems a bit much, you might be able to shop it around more coz pretty sure I got quotes for $1400 for cars from Melbourne to perth and that was just a couple of online calculators on google :P mayb they are charging a preminum coz ur in the bush lol and not metropolitan area? Anyways, drive back from Adelaide coz think its only 1500 Kms or so ? So maybe 4-5 tanks of fuel at $90ish per tank ? U just gotta hope u get a really good one and not a dodgy one that dies on the nullabor haha

Didn't end up looking at whether there is any form of rac roadside assistance but i doubt it :/ and yeh Perth has fark all import places, and never stageas unless u import it urself and that would prob cost bulk.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
