Hmm, I obviously missed that page :(

Are they still THAT expensive at autowholesale ? Last time I checked them prices were... hmm.. hm... : :P

i think i double printed that page and handed it out. lol.

umm they arent bad prices at AWS. they arent the best but ive actually seen worse. and you can bargain them down. the chick that stole my car, (kidding) got it for 2k less than asking price.

you can certainly bargain them down but the cars till cost waaaaay more than if you import yourself

he he so everyone keeps saying. but you run the risk of buying a dud. its a small risk but still one nonetheless. thats what i dont want to deal with

So what exactly did she get and how much was the final price, if you dont mind me asking ?

car was sold for $18k which is what they were always after anyways... lol

go down to the sister company in cannington and find stagea's going for $18k, knock em down to $14k easy.

We all know what one can import one for so paying an extra $4k+ because a car yard is selling one is just stupid.

Oh, so she paid $18 k for Series 1 ? Isn't it a bit too much ? $14 K sound much better :)

How much is Series 2 then ?

yeah she paid 18k. gotta remember though, the thing had bodykit, stereo and 18's on it. im not saying that justifys the price, but it does ease the pain, lol. theres no way she could have got that car off them for less than that. i bargained, and they wouldnt budge lower than 18k no matter what.

series 2, i have not seen many around. although I am keen at looking at the yellow one at AWS. its advertised for like 26k, but I have spoken to them, and they are flexible with the price.

what would people pay for a Series 2. with like 40k on the clock.????

I'd ask to see the log book, if they don't have one then forget the 40k reading and look at the condition of the car only... what year is it? Say 98, that would mean 5,000km per year, it would be mint if correct.

Could be a good bargaining chip at least.

They all come with log book from AWS. Umm condition is pretty damn good. its 49k on the clock. 1998 model.

what price would it be worth. drives very nice. no noises. everything works.

:P I have had a look at the yellow one at AWS and it is in really good cond body wise - even underneath it looks damn near brand new. The only reason it is still there is because it originally hit their yard at $29K!!!!

BUT........

I know for a fact that it was used as a stage car for the 2006 TargaWest tarmac rally. I was a stage official on all 4 days and I have to say that you don't need much imagination to figure out how it was treated.

someone elses car + closed roads = drive it like you stole it.

It was the car that peaked my interest in Stagea's to start with but I would avoid that particular one like the plague...

it may be nice to drive at the moment, but it will show its abuse sooner rather than later

hmmm handy advice. thanks. sounds like i will be approaching a personal import i think. dammit. might ask imports 101 to start looking for me. might get already modded one. they are bloody good with pricing too.

can you email me some recent piccys???

I've been through the ones linked in your sig.

hmm can I wait two months.

Ska's car is a TRUE sleeper.

had a power tune I believe of 230awkw on the stock turbo........... with a highflow and poncams surely 270awkw could be achieved.

add in a bodykit from sau-member AMS and it'd be a beast

mine can be bought for $95k :)

I dont have a digital camera so the ones in my link under the "New Mags" link are the newest, but I can go out and take more if you want.........?

It has the stocker mags on it atm but, so doesnt look like much, which is great cause the only thing that gives away it's poer is the 4" tip now ;) Bad thing is that the 18" 235's used to just give a little squeak, but the stocker 15" with 205's well they spin through first and halfway through second, when on a private road of course, never on a public road......... :)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
