the 260RS is the one you want. I made my own - it would have been cheaper to buy one and mod it up...

There are a few going from dealers, but most that I have seen are asking around 35-40k... go to stagea discussion and post your question - there are a few owners in there, and most of those guys&girls have more of an idea than I do...

car - $15k for auto rb25 turbo.

Now has:

Rb26 & 5sp man(R33GTR), N1 turbos, Tomei cams, full suspension package, GTR rear Brakes, Porsche GT3 front brakes, custom fuel rail, etc etc etc. Good for 300awkw and tuned very safely owes about $50-60k, but still looks like a DAYZ (mild bodykitted 2.5turbo). Bearing in mind that all work was carried out in workshops, and labour constitutes a large part of the cost.

Trust me - it is not worth the expense. I bought the car modded from my father's estate, because it was extremely cheap. I could never have justified what he spent on it...

Hey guys,

Just checking out if anyone knows how much a gtr stagea costs roughly and if there is ever many for sal ein aus or would I best to import one?

Thanks.

Your cheapest option will be to import one. I'd agree around $35k is what you're looking at.

I've seen some as low as $30k but as with all things you get what you pay for.

If thats what you want then get the 260RS. Getting a RS4 and doing all the conversion work yourself will likely cost you well over $40k by the time you're finished with it, and that still wont give you the improved 260RS chassis.

Basically, the 260RS is almost an entirely different car to the RS4, its stronger in almost every way, and IMO looks a lot more agressive. It also has awesome performance in stock form (does a high 13 sec 1/4 mile i believe).

Very good value for money, but then again, in a different market, so is the RS4. :) You can get a good s2 RS4 these days for about $16-18k.

The 260RS will hold its value a lot better than the RS4. And as there are new stagea models available for import and compliance now the price of stageas will continue to fall....sadly :) But the way I see it, as long as I get value from the car in the (hopefully long) time I own it, then who cares what it sells for? I bought it to drive it, not as an investment. :)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
