Its a 2000 model RS4 prime edition, with in dash TV/DVD/Navi.... anyone know if you can get the nav to work in Aus?

I love the wheels too, I am really happy that the car looks better than the auction photo. Motor and trans checked out ok. Now I just can't wait to get behind the wheel. :P:Ppost-30601-1164369878.jpg

Looks like mine (see the pics for my username in the gallery)! It will be the second bayside blue one around - though mine is a RS4S.

Nice colour blue, LOVE that :PBJ: ..have to say though i really dont get the woodgrain only on some bits of the steering wheel Why do they only come with that little bit and not a full wheel of woodgrain? :D ...apart from that nice car...good job :P would have set you back a bit and with compliance do you have to get standard mirrors and stuff??? :P

CAnt wait to see it here in WA...can you take me for a drive when it gets here???:)

didnt see the aero mirrors... there is a front bar like yours for sale on ebay.com.au for $680!!! far out!! youre a lucky man, john... GL with the purchase mate.

Cant beat the luxury estate car interior with woodgrain coupled with the sporty package of a stagea and the sensibility and versitility of a wagon... ahhhh.... love it.

Hope compliancing/regency goes okay for you mate.

Hi Kirstie

The mirrors are factory options, to be honest that was one very attractive thing about the car, apart from the colour (of course). It's top of the range, and had 9 factory options!! Price, well ask me at the next run. Wood grain all over the wheel would / could make it too slippery. I like the wood, it's a bit more luxurious, also really wanted leather. We went over budget a bit!! But not too much. It was a real a real toss up between this or a Yellow RS4S, which was fairly stock, (with 85,000km). The colour did it..... yeah really it was the colour. In 3 months of looking it was the only one that I saw apart from an rs4s which was Non-Turbo and couldn't be imported, (had no kit or anything either).

Definately Happy Jan....... :P

Nice car, well done

The mirrors are actually made by Ganador, not a factory option

They are a little bit smaller in the mirror size, but are still electric.

I had a set on my R33 and have just bought a set for my Stagea.

If that is a flip-out TV/Nav thingy then its not the factory one. I have the factory option which is made by Xanavi (they do the tv/navigation systems for all nissans - including current models).

Either way if its a japanese system then the TV will likely only accept ntsc inputs (if it does PAL as well then you have no probs). Others on this forum have managed to connect up a portable digital tv tuner that outputs to ntsc via a connection on the front of the tv unit....maybe you can do something like that?

As far as navigation goes, that will depend on the system used by your unit. The factory Xanavi ones dont work here since the company has no plans to (a) convert them to english and (b) provide australian maps...so thats pretty much a showstopper. I believe some people have removed the internals of the unit and wired in an aussie portable satnav unit to work with the factory screen (including toughscreen capability)...but I dont know how far they got with this...

Good luck with the car - it looks VERY VERY NICE!!!!

Makes me REALLY want a dolphin bodykit (i believe thats the one yours has). :D

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
