yes i am aware that the exhaust suspension and wheels need to be changed over for compliance but i will get the workshop to put it all back on once complied, and i have allowed for this extra cost in my budget.

the stagea will be imported to QLD then once complied it will be transported to my place (Western Sydney)

so are there many other stagea owners around sydney? and are any of them involved in the SAU NSW car club? as i am interested in joining once i have gotten my car.

I'm in Western Sydney too (not too far from Parra), I'm an SAU club member, and I'm a Stagea owner.

I was at the SAU Show and Shine back in July this year, joined the club on that day, and saw two Stagea's at the show - one owned by the club president and forum owner "PranK," and the other was for sale - and just had a feeling that I would be the next owner of the one for sale, even though I was still saving. Lucky for me the (previous) owner still had the car when I'd managed to scrape enough coins together!

but is the compliance the only form of roadworthy certificate that is needed to register the vehicle. or do i need to get a blue slip also?

You will need to get a blueslip as well

I finally got my car payment sent today,

But only after getting SCREWED around by my bank. I was given a loan approval, but when i took my loan papers into the bank to hand them in, only to be told that they could not process my loan as they do not provide loans for vehicles that do not currently reside in Australia. But i had given them every square inch of detail about the purpose of the loan when i applied for it over the phone!!!

They only decided to grant the loan after two days of sending me nuts when i told them that i would lose my $1000 paid to J-Spec if i did not come up with the funds, and that i only went ahead with the payment because the bank had assured me on the approval of my loan.

...Anyways after two stressful days it is all done now and i can finally stop worrying, and get back to eagerly awaitng the arrival of my Stagea.

what problems did you have with the RTA?

Well most of it was my fault :) I didnt have the correct papers with me at the time. The actual recept for purchase was the real killer...

did prestige not give you a copy of the receipt? or did you just misplace it?

I went through J Spec :P They did send me one, which I thought I had kept in my folder with ever other recipt under the sun...But must have gotten lost along the way. No worries though, we rang J Spec and they kindly faxed it through to the RTA for us :P

that company is not in australia, i would suggest going with a company in australia so that they can organise for you all of the compliance and other australia based issues. but thats just my opinion

agreed. Dont take chances you dont have to, go with J Spec :)

Mark Hocking is an Australian living in Japan who buys car for various dealers, brokers and personal importers.

If you read HPI or have watched Hard Tuned Imports III you would read about cars from his area or seen him.

A lot of people off the forum have dealt direct and have had nothing but praise.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
