WTB JA Front Guards + Bonnet + Windscreen

As the subject suggests, I want to buy both front guards for a JA Starion, as well as a replacement bonnet(with airscoop) and a windscreen. EDIT: Also looking for a replacement rear bumper. Mine has the waves. None of these parts need to be painted, but they do need to be rust-free. Wanting to know ...

Broken Speedo Cable (possibly)

The speedo needle has always jumped up and down about 4k either side of my actual (According to an overpass speed check on my local highway). For the past 4 or so months the speedo has register...

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c113/Griphin/Starion_Blower_Concept_01_Small.jpg My first (And very rough) attempt. The hoodscoop has been widened, the blowers there too. You can see I got really lazy by the time I got the blower in there. I just realised that the gearbox might need an upgrading ...

The block is teeny wheeny, its the size of my head (Im exagerating of course, I dont have a giant head) but the head is freakin massive. I've done some measurements and I know I can fit it all in there with some hood modifications. I plan to split the hood scoop down the centre, separate the pieces,...

Supercharged V6 Conversion

I keep looking at my Starion thinking "I love how she looks, but she needs a lot more oomph" and I realised I have a VG30DE from a 90-something Nissan 300ZX sitting in the garage, everything ready to go apart from the ECU / ECCS. It'll be supercharged eventually with a nice chrome blower o...

WTB - JA Starion BONNET/HOOD

As the subject indicates I'm after a JA Starion Bonnet/hood in good condition. Paintwork isn't important as it will be temporary while I modify and respray my current hood with a rust repair and an opened scoop.

Yeah, the old Staz had a rusted rear guard. Here's the funy part about that though; it rusted from the inside-out. I noticed something dangling from the hole while I was washing her, reached in and plucked out a long bar of rust. On closer inspection it appeared to be a spanner. Someone at the facto...

I sure am. I love Starions. I need to get my finances in check for the moment but chances are I'd be able to pay for it with a fortnight.
