i'm thinking of geting myself one, i want a later model series 2 correct?? i think late 98-00?? not too sure when.

and wgcn34 are the awd models right?

Cheers for that i think i stumbeled apon a similar one earlier on today. i can say i havnt ever seen so much variation in one car! very difficult to work out whats what really.

tho it looks like a series 2 car goes for around 400000-700000 maybe cheeper maybe a bit more. but somewhere around that. which makes for a pretty cheep daily driver/tow car/wagon that i can fit shit in

only 2 models of the series 2 other than the autech are eligible for import and they are the rear wheel drive turbo models and the all wheel drive turbo models and they seem to range hugely in price at auction depending on condition and mods. but compared to anything else they are still a bargain

Yeah this is what i've noticed! if all else fails i will just settle for a series 1 and try this 34 front end conversion seems you can pick up that kit for around 3000 + shipping etc.

they seem to be a great car for the price and i'm in need of a practacle daily driver that i can park wherever i like with no worries. + the towing factor is what i am really after.

i'm thinking i need around 15k at most on the road.

then i always have a 32gtr dog box at home if i need a manual conversion (if its easy) haha

As discussed elsewhere, you will find this is a rough guide only. F'r instance, I have a 97 S1 that is badged as a 25X, but it has the RB25-DET and a few other trinkets that the guide says were only available in the RSFourV so you obviously have to take into account the original purchasers preferences, what options boxes he ticked and what the original dealer might have thrown in to sweeten the deal.

To me, the biggest appeal of owning something as unique as an import is the journey to figure out exactly what you have.

Eh Glen, If you think that then you don't unsderstand Stagea's.

There are 3 series in the range and 20 models.

These are the RS series, The XG series, and the Type B series, and this is only for the series 2 cars!!! The ranges on the series 1's was similar, but I dont think that the Type B existed.

If anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet that shows every option for every model then email me and I'll send it on. Sure you can get an S2 cheap, but it wont be the same as a 25t RS Four V Prime Edition (unless you are really really lucky). The Japs aren't that stupid to give cars away. The 25t X Four is actually the base model of the 4wd's, then the RS Four is next up. The rest you need to work out from the spread sheet. It aint easy though!!

Thanks for that mate. gives me a bit more info to go on

I just bought my 97 rs four v and it has leather seats and factory momo steering wheel. This does not appear on the options list in the link above.

You have a Dayz Edition, well done.

Oh yeah.... damn I forgot to mention those!!! Then of course apart from the factory spec cars you have others.

With the Autech for instance it's all a matter of ordering what you want. I did see a blue Auctech, go for over 2 million..... is there anything rarer! Then of course there are always the dreded IPO's. These are INTERNAL PRODUCTION ORDERS..... they can usually be placed by any company official, who is high enough in the pecking order or maybe even for friends and relatives, (nice way to show off). This has resulted in unusual stuff, like cars with a motor that shoudln't be there, or an amount of options that werent' released to the general public. It was common in the USA. Not saying that Nissan would have such a thing but I bet if Mr Yamamoto San wanted a Stagea with a 260RS and only rear wheel drive but the interior of a Prime edition, in bayside blue with a silver roof, I bet he could get one. And it'd be factory backed and warrantied!! Now there's something to think about ..... good luck looking for it .... ha ha. :(

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
