Figure this bad boy may be worth its own thread - 98 RWD stagea - with a 34GTR front...? think they wouldve gone with a manual RS-Four V at least, to be spending that much money on it...

Is it worth the $32k????

that white looks damn hot, i dont know why but it just looks mad with white paint and black windows and the lowered look and subtle bodykit :)

checkout the price of this 1991 Mercedes Benz 108i super gullwing (LEFT hand drive)...

$965,400 landed FARRKKKK :O

Another stagea - much better priced, and i reckon it even looks better. Very tidy.

Very nice for the price hey....

Yeah it's cheap but needs to be, suspension has to be back to stock for compliance and all the plumbing changed back to original too.

Wonder how hard it's been driven?

This car could be really hard to comply, if not impossible. $32k.... you've got to be kidding. you can get a nice original RS 260 for that!

Who knows about the engineering on this.... someone will probably buy it, good luck! Looks don't really amount to much, anyone of our cars could look as good or better. For a 98 25t RSV its an $18,000 car with a front end and kit. I wouldn't touch it with yours!!

Actually makes me wonder why they put this shit on there, this car has to have the seats replaced, the brakes replaced, possibly wheels. It's just a faker, and to advertise it as something special is a joke. someone is likely to get burned on it.

Aftermarket suspension Non compliable

Conversion done with genuine R34 GTR parts:

R34 GTR alloy wheels Non compliable

R34 GTR Brembo brakes Non compliable

R34 GTR front seats Non compliable

R34 GTR radiator support Non compliable

R34 GTR headlights Non compliable

R34 GTR front bumper Non compliable

R34 GTR bonnet Non compliable

Dont take my word ask a compliance workshop. So after all that what's it really worth?

GOOD THREAD THOUGH

......... think they wouldve gone with a manual RS-Four V at least ........

Only one Manual "RS Four V" I know of is mine. Stagea Manuals are "RS Four S" :mellow:

And it's nice looking but good luck on compliance, and just ask how much Darrin has spent on his project to get an idea of costings.

I'd rather a 260RS for that price but!

This is wildcat here using hubbys account opps..

Have to disagree with a few comments made....changing suspension back to stock isnt hard for compliance i went through that with mine..and its not bad at all..you either borrow some or you hire it for the compliance not that bloody hard at all :mellow: Everything else i agree Yes would be a pain in the ass but if someone loves it that much then good luck to them...looks like a very fancy car and to me does look like something special...i would LOVE to be an owner of 34GTR front.....i also love this white one..if i didnt have my baby i would be very interested in it

if you find a compliance workshop willing ot risk their license you could bring the car pretty easily, I'm guessing that why they ask you to call if your interested in purchasing. If you were willing to return it to stock and had the parts free to borrow it would be an ok deal.

If i didnt have my car already, that white one would be mine. Id put a stereo in, and thats probably it. Looks awesome as it is. and for thess (lots less) than half the price of the 34 faced S2.... its a winner.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
