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

look at the motor and the size of those damn back tyres :mellow:

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.

What about me?

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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
