As previously, a 260RS with 250awkw will suit me fine. Rip anything in the street, be more than enough for winding roads, 12 second car is plenty!

worth a plug

dont forget to upgrade the brakes

whats the front cut costing you?

We all really are asking a lot of wagons. Its hard to find a 260RS with a popped motor. They are no where near as abundant as a GTR. I am going to spend time to find a good example, and no history/record, no sale. I wouldnt by any means budget rebuild cash for a 1998 RB26...i mean, for a R32 GTR, rebuild money would definaly be counted. In the end, the benefits of the RB26 are there is no real "upper limit" of power. You can take your time and from year to year making more and more and more power (granted you want to spend that much) RB25 really reaches a plateau around 250wheel kw.... then you start to spend the big money. As i said, 260RS+PFC+Exhaust+Boost = that power level...with plenty left. In the end, the only reason I am going a 260RS is coz my car got hit. If it didnt get hit, id still have a bonnet i chopped up, a front bar i wrecked with a front mount install, a 1/4 panel which i had already dented etc.... the fact that someone love tapped me means i basically get a full new fornt end. The only gripe i have with my stagea is the auto, brakes and seats. 260RS has all that stock so will be a lot less of a car for me to mod (meaning, less stuff will break as its more close to stock). Ill see, ill definatly write up a comparison of cars when I eventually take the plunge. There may be a time when I am stuck with both as I want to swap some parts over and thats the only really easy way to do it, but i'll see.

slowly, but coming. exams make this a busy part of the year, sorry folks.

well thats it, 260RS + 3k = 250awkw / 12.5s 1/4 mile. Cant argue with value Anyway, anyone got more websites? Cheers

was RS4 -> GTT now RS4 -> 260RS GTT still RB25. RB26, easy to get mild power. Wagon practical and very sleeper. I am afterall only 19.

cmon someone will break into the 8's there will be that perfect run someone will do

buy my shit on ebay search "folding gazebo" and look for the user canopyoutdoorau

thats exactly it to haul all the ass that is a stagea takes a lot of throttle....

mate, right foot is your problem its a stagea... it aint going to be easy on the fuel BTW, you ever noticed that your 260RS front bar is different to the actual 260RS front bar?

IMO this one is nicer Only 23,000AUD car cost. Not bad considering it comes with coilovers, wheels and exhaust as far as I can see. That 23k means about 30-31 on road allowing 2k shipping, 4k compo, 2k other fees and rego and then 1k for like, tyres or random sheit.

i got all the way to point 5. Just couldnt work out what the price column was. Cheers I presume that 198 means 1.98M Y right?

Question - How do I use that website. I mean, if found heaps of stageas etc, but i just cant seem to work out where the price is. I can read the rest of the stuff, its pretty easy to understand... (ps, babble dont work) - is the 198.0 thing, where that means 1.98M Y? Seems to be right coz all the 260's are at the front with high numbers.

stop stop, i blew my load a long time ago!

Actually, the stagea is based on the C34 laurel, hence the model code WC34. But then, I am sure you all know laurels are based on Skylines Japan mans head -> Skyline -> Laurel -> Stagea is the bloodline

As I can afford, the only mods are going to be - Apexi dumps/fronts (extended dumps) - already got the highflow cat from my current car - custom 3.5inch catback, straight through with no mufflers. Will see how that goes then probably add just a single rear muffler - Apexi PFC - Tune All that will be under 3k and I should end up with ~250awkw Oh, clutch too But yes, got to focus on researching now etc, then buy the car, THEN dream.

ok, dammit, i am falling in love! my best mate might buy one of these. I am currently SORT OF considering it over the 260RS. The rareness of looks are winning me over! but the RB is so mod friendly. Can pick one of these up in NZ for under 10k AUD in TT and manual....add compo and shipping etc, EASY under 20 on the road....thats why its so appealing to my mate. Though, for an extra 10k, get the 260RS...but 10k buys a lot of mods On another note, anyone looking at the 260's, the S1 and S2's are the same mechanically, only change was looks. There is no R34 Engine used, its still the R33 GTR engine. Does anyone have any time scale of when these will be ready to import/comply/put on road? My mate should start to save IMO be ready when it comes. Estimated costs too???

They are good, but the ones that you can get into the country are nothing compared to a newer stagea. They go pretty good, but again, there is no "upping the boost" to get more power. You will be hard pressed to mod the 4.5L cost effectivly. Depends really mate. Do you want a GT wagon or a Luxo barge? If you want luxo barge, go the LS400(celsior) Type C F-Pack

haha i taught my ex to drive in my stagea a bit... she was scared to get over like 20 km/h and then in an industrial lot i told her to floor it while we were doing slow speed stuff. Shat her pants when it came on boost and since is scared to go over 50. She was amazed that when i got back into it, romped the foot on it, stepped it out (wet) and off we went. Got a smack in the head for that one as well (worth it) Stagea isnt that long. As long as it isnt LOW too, you are all fine. My only issue is with the back and how its so flat. I cna never judge well reverse parking with a car behind me. Whatever, most of the time i am going -> anyways.

ive used revzone for anything that ive needed done www.revzone.com.au 4wd hub dyno, good guys, knowledgeable

Hmm. I somehow reckon this is a fake. The fact that it has SKYLINE written across the back throws me off... EVERYTHING ive read, even when the pres of nissan spoke he said "this will NOT be a skyline, it will be a GTR" I like the front, very TVR Sagaris. The rears a little high and the wing is gay, but thats probably just the photos. I find it interesting that a magazine has photos / information about this car even before the GTR Proto website has reopened -> http://www.gtrproto.com/ Also, anyone notice the "?" in the title? Finally, as far as i've read reliable information, this car is being released by nissan WORLDWIDE. This includes Japan, Europe, America and Australia. It will be a worldwide supercar. Two firsts for a skyline, being a supercar and being world wide sold (neither of which it has been before)

part number for one side is 96365-4P200- call nissan
