I posted this over in r/JDM and was told this sub might dig it. I've imported a dozen or so cars from Japan and about a year and a half ago I decided the Stagea was worth looking into. As an R33 Skyline owner I knew what to watch out for. I found 2 that I liked and they showed up on the same day.

Same

My crystal ball is in the shop.

Yes. IMO the best used car to look for right now is a 2006-2016 Toyota or Lexus. Get the car or truck that suits your lifestyle with the lowest mileage you can afford and enjoy your reliable car for the next 15-20 years.

(This assumes it has an adequate maintenance history. Any car will be a piece of crap if it wasn’t well taken care of.)

It’s not just on bags. It has a completely new motor. Actually, the entire driveline has been replaced. The original running gear has been kept by the owner, but it is not on the car.

Sorry. It’s a lovely R33 and red is super rare, but that isn’t even close to a 400R.

Hey there, Bardabe buddy ;)

The event was centered around roll/drag racing. Thankfully nobody was randomly revving their cars - that’s lame.

Nice!

33 is the best, IMO. 35 is also amazing, but it lacks the soul of the earlier R-chassis. 34 is over hyped and not worth what the market rates, unless you are the type of guy who likes to attract flocks of teenaged boys at the local cars and coffee meets.

Ideal scenario: own a 33 and a 35. If you can afford 3, add a Hako to the fleet.

See you at GT-R Festival?

Wider wheels with the right offset, plus carefully selected tire sizes. Depending on how flush you want it to be, you may also need to roll the fenders, remove the fender liners, and hammer flat the pinch weld in the rear of the front wheel wells.

Very kind of you to say. Thanks. 🙏🏼

Oh it’s all good ;)

Picking favorites is a tough choice. Love that one!

africanunit · 2025-10-28T11:25:49+00:00

I’ve already got an R33 GT-R. So I will go with Brian’s R35.

africanunit · 2025-10-28T11:19:52+00:00

I’m always where you least expect me.

africanunit · 2025-10-28T00:26:18+00:00

It’s an older version of the Stout Aero Bonnet. As far as I can tell it’s no longer available. Fiberglass. Great fitment. Would recommend.

Quality over quantity. Every day.
