Howdy,

New to the forums & stagea world so a quick hi! Have a quick question though...

Recently bought a C34 S2 1999 Stagea (I want to marry it btw) and it's due for it's first service, currently at 78,800 - was 72,000 odd when I bought it.

Before this I had a granny spec 1992 Corolla that was handed down to me which would never die & a dream to service but not willing to touch the Stag till I know it inside out & plus don't have a garage or time to do it so no option there.

So, was wondering where in Melbourne (South & Eastern suburbs preferred) is a good place to get the old girl serviced with guys who know Nissans/imports like the back of their hand?

One more thing, I've noticed that if I park the Stag on an incline so the LHS of the car is down compared to the RHS with about 25k's left in the tank it will just not fire. But if I jack the LHS up, the lines seem to get some fuel & start from there... Is there a hole in my tank, vacuum leak, the fuel pickup shifted/not down enough or is this just something I've gotta live with & always leave more juice in the tank?? Kind of annoying seeing as there's a petrol station literally across the road from my street!

Thanks y'all

Cheers

Dave

  • 1 month later...

Hey jai,

ahh f**k really? I only got a minor service when I took it a month or so ago but was saving up to get the full kitchen sink one. Will need to find somewhere else...

Anyone?

Cheers

what do you mean by the "full kitchen sink one"?

you mean timing belt etc.?

what exactly needs doing?

Yeah timing belt, full tune + new o2 sensor, 4 new tyres (lots of tread on mine atm but cracking around the outer bead causing some unpleasant movement at higher speeds), wheel alignment, auto trans fluid change and a couple of other minor things.

Does anyone know if JS have moved or liquidated?

Cheers

For Melbourne South East area:

I've found Rob at Sabbadin Auto to be quite honest, competent and helpful.

They've got a dyno there and do some fabrications of exhausts and stuff. I think he specialises in rotary engines and turbo builds.

He's really good at chasing down info and parts which comes in handy when you come up against a less than straight forward problem.

Hey Andrew,

thanks for that will give Rob a call. Haven't had to drive much lately as been overseas on work & now working from home for a couple of weeks but when the next pay cheque is the bank, will get all this shit sorted!

Cheers all

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
