Car was inspected today by Stateroads. It passed every test except for one of the struts was leaking. The strut was replaced today by the dealership (I'll confirm in person that it was, but they have a workshop there so I don't doubt it)

.

Everything else was perfect except for a minor faded section on the front left quarter panel, which I already knew about.

The final comments for the inspector were:

"THIS VEHICLE PRESENTS AS IN REASONABLE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE ,THE BODY SHOWS NO MAJOR STRUCTURAL

OR MAJOR BODY REPAIR.SOME SUPERFICIAL REPAIR AND PAINTWORK TO PANELS SHOWN.
THE ENGINE RUNS AND SOUNDS GOOD FOR AGE WITH NO MAJOR NOISE SMOKE OR FUMES EVIDENT DURING
ENGINE TESTING.
THIS VEHICLE TEST DROVE AND PERFORMED REASONABLY WELL FOR ITS AGE WITH NO MAJOR DRIVELINE OR
UNDERCARRIAGE NOISE AUDIBLE ON THE TEST DRIVE."

Sounds alright mate, choice is on you now :)

You went the right way about it in the end. And keep that State Roads report, as it's a good bit of paper to have if/when you decide to sell yourself.

Yep picked it up on Wednesday :) Don't have any decent pics other than the ones that were previously uploaded, I'll try get some this weekend. Loving the drive so far

Yewwww! Good result, throw some pics up and get looking for some new rims ASAP, even stockies will do! :thumbsup:

haha come on the wheels aren't "that" bad. At least they aren't chrome dishplate rims. I'm currently saving for other things so not sure if I'm going to drop 1k+ for a new set for a while.

  • 3 weeks later...

That's the series 2 front bar I'm fairly certain. 2000+ baby.

I've always been a fan of series 1 tho, more aggressive I feel.

But looks clean man! I forgot black cars are meant to look like that... mine is so dirty atm :'(

The photo might be playing some tricks haha it's in good condition but definitely needs a good cut and polish. I've just sold my FTO so might have some funds for a set of wheels under 1k

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
