Hi everyone,

Just thought id jump in and say a quick hello. I have a genuine 260RS that i picked up a few months ago in QLD and got it sent down to me in SA. Best decision i have ever made, the car is awesome! Best part is that not many people no what a normal stagea is let alone the autech 260rs version!

Hi mike, I got it from an importer in china town. I've been looking at them for 18months or so. He regularly imports nice stagea's with all the bells and whistles.

Yeah I checked out one on parra rd, so dodgy! They wanted something ridiculous like 30 for it. Then I got onto Eddie in china town, it turned out it was his car and he offered it to me for very low 20's. Do you mind if I ask the ballpark figure for your one?

There is a silver series 2 down at mona vale, I had a chat and got his number. I'll get him on the forum next time I speak to him. NSW stagea's should organise a cruise in a month or so, it'd be good to check out some of the others in the flesh.

I've driven some nice cars like ferrari, tvr, lexus, audi etc. The stagea is up there with them, I'm so happy with the beast.

Eddie seems to say that about all the stag's (that they were his car) ... they're not, he drives a V12 SLK mercedes worth an obcene amount of money, he showed me when i was down there buying mine. He also told me he had an EVo 8 stolen from the back of a truck when it was meant to be gettin transported to QLD, truck driver left it running to get some ramps to get it on the back of the truck, then bam 45 grand down the drain, mine cost in the low 20's aswell

Pearl white 260RS. In the NT.

Pretty much stock :O

Wife owns a 97 RS4 auto with gtr fmic, pod, bleeder, 3" turbo back, tein sus, splitfies's, apex boost guage and apex timer.

Hello, my name is Rhys and I'm very shortly going to recieve my S1 96 Stagea with a Dayz kit, cowskin seats and two holes cut in the roof with glass shoved in there to keep the rain out. I've been waiting for this little girl patiently for a while, as we all do, and now that it is so close it's even harder to wait!

I live in Sydney and noticed that after I voted my whereabouts on the poll thingy at the start of this thread NSW and VIC Stagea owner's are now even with 27.59% ownership a piece so I might just go and buy another one for the missus if I like mine enough just to tip the scales in NSW's favour. :)

    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks
