VERY nice!!!

What is performance like on stock stagea, and whats the going rate?

Also, as if you don't do the R34 GTR style nose conversion! Looks wild.

Maybe I should get a stagea, planning on having kids in a couple years... :)

A very nice ride there....looks very clean/looked after..... where did you get it from?

*sighs....i cant wait until mine arrives*

....got any plans/mods for it yet? good luck with it

Cool, nice buy MrBenson - is this car staying in NSW?

I'm in the process of organising a cruise for early April for the Sydney and Newcastle/Hunter region owners and enthusiasts - will you be keen to join us?

Very nice Ride. Looks identical to mine, colour, body kit, wheels etc. - except you have the leather and woodgrain option, so its an RS4V.

I am sure that you will enjoy it as much as I am.

Better get used to people doing double-takes as they go past! :D

yep i'm the roger from melbourne who came to the meet at bells park.

the wife and i flew up to sydney on friday inspected the car and the papers etc,

test drove the car all this took most of the day,

and we were very impressed with it and we needed a car to get back to melbourne so we bought it !

paid $24000.00 with 31000klm's on it.

so it had a good test on the way home, on sunday after visiting relatives.

anyway the worst things about it are minor stone chips and scratches (well it's a used vehicle)

fuel economy.... but thats a smaal price to pay for the enjoyment of the drive.

and japanese tv and navigation (is that possible to get it working here.

the tv screen has a touch screen system in it to play cd's and operat the climate control of wich both work fine.

we have now transfered it to melbourne rego, put the baby seat in,

and we just have to get insurance.

thanks to all that gave me advice and info on the stagea. :laugh:

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
