Hi Guys;

I'm considering purchasing this C34 Stagea with an alleged 57,000 kilometers on it. I'm doing some further investigation and would love to know if anyone personally knows this vehicle?

Thanks in advance.

They mentioned genuine k's twice so that's good. ........

Seriously, there needs to be comprehensive service history to belive those k's and pay a premium for.

I'm currently selling my car cos I'm over it. They aren't that fast or big.

They cost heaps to insure. Theft magnet. No snow in adelaide so no need for awd.

12g gets you a really nice ss.

Input appreciated. The wife isn't keen on a SS unfortunately and is really into Stageas. :[

I've owned several RB engined cars before so knowing my way around the car isn't an issue. I'm finding it very difficult to beleive the kilometers are legitimate mind you.

Looks good. Any service history to back up mileage? A very close inspection should reveal if it is anywhere near a low mileage car. Compression test would be good. Wear on steering wheel. gear lever and indicator stalk etc?

I've been thinking about this too over the last year, but once you go for a drive through a mountain you fall in love again.

They aren't fast and they're big and heavy, but they still get up and go and things like the dash, leather, power everything etc they're great for the money.

I decided to keep mine and couldn't be happier

Pretty hard to believe the kms are genuine, unless its a garage queen. Its like 4000 kms a year.

While I find the handling and steering of the stagea to be better than new cars Ive tried, it comes at the expense of refinement, noise and ride quality.

Still, you love the car for its flaws. Plus with the money you sink into it, it would be silly to sell.

I am selling my RS4S in the very near future but it seems you are looking for an auto.

Ultimately if the km's aren't genuine it doesn't matter as long as you go in with your eyes open and pay a fair price.

I sold my R33 with >220,000 km that I had owned since 2001. I bought it with "57,000km" which was probably not close (who knows??) but nevertheless it provided 13 years good service. When I was selling I still got some punters saying they were looking for lower km examples?!?!?

Good luck, stay patient, something will pop up.

I am selling my stagea s2 dayz edition. Real cheap because I have bought a new car and it got delivered 6 months earlier than expected and need to get rid of it. It is a honest car and the only issue is the rust on the doors that I can have fixed for $600. Also just had gearbox rebuilt 2 weeks ago and got bent over on that.

absolute bargain at $7500 no offers unless they are over the asking price hahaha

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
