The yards are rip offs.

I loked at an S1 in Ferry Rd. $26,000 reduced to $20.995.

My do it yourself import cost me $14,000 on the road with comp. Ins.Was Y450,000.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a lot of guys in other States seem to wait an eternity to get thier Stageas. Freight here to Qld is quite fast. There is a ship that only does Japan/brisbane. There are excellent RAWS compliers here also.

If I was really keen to get a Stagea quick smart I would look at doing it thru Brissie. It is not much to fly here and think of the QUICK trip home. Hmmmm.

Did you direct import or buy from a dealer?

If a dealer had brought mine in it would have been $20K in a yard.

It doesn't cost $6k to get here and drive home, even from Canberra.

have a look on page 5 "My MR30 Replacement".

See the absolute beauty of "THE GREEN MACHINE"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH---------wot rhymes with silver?lollollol.

p.S. luv yur kit. GREEN = jealousy. boohooboohooboohoo.

Two friends saw a silver Stagea driving north thru Gympie on Sunday morning. They didnt get a rego no. but where sure excited to tell me that they seen another one - not bad since mines the only one they've ever seen.

Plus I just worked out that I must have seen TECHO's a couple of months back on the Bruce Highway heading north thru Gympie - I remember the rego 534...

bit late but spotted a series 2 260rs coming onto the kwinana freeway northbound at about 8:30 in the morning mid last week dont know if it was a real 260 but had kit and genuine rims so maybe it is looked schmick in plain white only saw it for like 10 seconds then I lost it behind a truck my lane was moving too fast.

I also quite regularly see the red one with the stagea plates in joondalup during the day

^^^ that series 2 if its the white one is a genuine 260 he lives down that way..i also saw that red one with the red/white number plate STAGEA ....still trying to get the plates off him :)

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
