Sorry mate, i had suspension about 2 months ago but it was shagged so i ditched it. probably would have passed rego, but was no good for me.

Very nice ride though, hope it treats you well

What suspension do you have in there right now?

Do you want to swap just for compliance or do you want to swap full stop.

Being in melbourne, i wouldnt want to do a swap just for compliance, but if you have something nice in there, maybe we can organize a permanent swap of some kind??

Welcome to the ever growing ranks of Stagea owners.

I have a spare set of standard front and rear shocks and spare pair of standard rear springs, sorry no spare standard front springs. Cost about $25 in freight to get them to you and I will want them back as soon as you are finished with them.

PM me if I can be of assistance

:D cheers :(

I have contacted the previous owner cause he had the stock suspension replaced with king springs and coilovers, waiting for him to call me back, I am in brisbane too ;) Once I hear I'll let you know.

Thanks Ska that would be great. I will just give you the full situation I'm in here. Ok, when the car lands in Brisbane for complaince it will need to be standard. J Spec has organised the complaince workshop to take off the modified parts (exhaust, wheels, suspension) and replace it with the standard gear. We have sourced and exhaust but still need to get some standard wheels and suspension. The workshop will fit all the standard gear on the car for compliance and then replace it back with the modified parts when the compliance process is done. Now, they are willing to do this for free IF I give them the set of standard suspension for them to use in future. So, I need to buy somebody's standard suspension and then give it to the workshop.

So any assistance would be great :blink: Thanks guys ;)

Nice car you got there, esp the colour, l hear maroon is a rare colour with Stagea's.

Looks like we're in teh same boat, gotta wait for the car to arrive in. Tell ya, the wait seems to drag along, and its only been 2 weeks!! :blink:

Nah dude, sorry. My car will live in Tamworth :blink: then will be moving to either Newcastle or Brisbane.

Just an update on the suspension. J Spec 'thinks' that the car has coilovers. So does that mean that I will need struts, shocks and springs?

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

Have a look in the Stagea Suspension thread and then ask the question again.

:D Cheers :(

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
