nice, very nice, black mmmm, and series 2 manual, even better :P

cant wait to cruise it up with some other stageas :P

thats gonna make my silver look boring as hell now :P

wish i waited for the series 2 models, but its good to know about the stageas in detail when others are only just purchasing and finding out :)

good luck with it and how long till its here?

cheers

Brad

thanks brad...yeah...black and manual was a big thing...it was really very cheap in comparison to what we thought it would go for!!

it will be nice to finally have a stagea after soooo long looking for one....for him anyway....i still have to find one

hey your silver one is never going to look dull....especially with what you have done do it...open the bonnet and see what reaction you get heheheeh (silver is a nice colour i looking at getting a cheap s1 if possible) :P

hopefully see you around now

luv wildcat :P

No...i have a CLEAN driving record....no accidents no speeding tickets..im a good chick....

I just know you dont mess with the MANS car!!!

You a checky bugger Brad :P

Wildcat you're Brett's wife? lol the guys at work were doing backflips when the auction finished, well under what he told us to spend... Definitely a Stag that I'd happily own.

The car was offered to us for 1.15 million yen FOB till today by the dealer (which in itself is a pretty good price for a black manual S2). The dealer basically wanted a quick sale so he sent it to auction today, so basically the budget we had was around the original offer value. We honestly expected it to go for more because the last 3 Black grade 4 S2 manuals that sold at auction went for the following prices:

1.508 million yen (1.608 FOB)

1.642 million yen (1.742 FOB)

1.355 million yen (1.455 FOB)

So yeah, he was extremely lucky to have gotten it for the price he did. And yes, we're on the lookout now for a car for you :P

Hey wildcat, Very nice indeed. Well done on the purchase of THE FAMILY CAR, yes that means that YOU can drive it too!! lol

Tell hubby we all said so........

Off topic, sorry, FunkyMonkey, do you work at Jspec? Also, do you happen to play DayofDefeat:Source?? Came across a funkimunki on there the other night & thought it 'could' be you!

5 seater no probs about that - just ask 3InTheBack, with 3 booster seats in the back lol!

Ive only got 2 booster seats.... spare room directly behind me for the seat to go as far back as possible (will extend the seat rails soon). 2m tall, so......! Great family wagon, no doubt about that.

Just guessing, this is an amazing price though!

1998 Stagea 4WD 25TRSFOURS

engine: 2500

trans: 5 speed manual

milage: 94,000 km's

color: Black

grade: 4

.. start price 520,000 yen

.. SOLD for 793,000 yen (car cost only)

.. around $15,800 landed, excluding compliance

Really quite amazing!

Thanks all...I know that 3 in the back has '3 in the back in car seats'...we have two in car seats and maybe a third??.... so i got worried when i couldnt see the middle seat belt!

Yes Brett got it for a very very good price...i think its about 19k all up.(not too sure)...he is very lucky! Originally the first black one we looked at buying in a car yard in Perth they were asking 27990 for it and it was an auto...so we got a bargain with this one!!

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
