hey all

i was just doing some reading, and weighing up doing mods to my stagea, and found that Series 2's and 260RS's arent over the victorian power/weight laws of 125kw/1000kg. A 1650kg vehicle with 206kw is dead on legal.

The figures i found when originally purchasing led me to beleive they were illegal, hence me looking for the best series 1 i could find... instead of getting a series 2 or stretching to a 260rs.

Does anyone have any definate figures for me, and what do you guys think i could get for a 97 series 1, 87k km, bilsteins, 2000km old re001's, shift kit, had its 100k km service? And what should i be looking to pay for an auto s2, an auto 260rs, and a manual 260rs.

For a car to be imported it really only needs to meet 2 of a possible 4 criteria, im pretty sure. Power-weight is only one of these four.

Also, pretty sure you wont find an auto 260RS.

Manual 260RS you can get for as little as $21,000 L+C'd.

as per -

http://autos.yahoo.co.jp/ucar/search/detai...;clid=221025001

Auto S2's are pretty common, you can pick one up with full dayz aero kit, aftermarket suspension, exhaust, 18s etc tscope of mods in an auto for $15k landed and complied, with less than 80,000km (genuine or not)

Ive just sifted through 800 stageas over the last few days :-) to buy my own. Have a look through the japan auctions. If you cant find what you want among 800 stageas, buy a liberty.

:-)

cheers, the p/w i mentioned is the victorian p plater restriction i have to deal with.

Can you link me to the page i should be using to search with? i think my car will be up for sale once i finnish wrecking my spare 1600

Were there auto 260rs's? as for a daily, i prefer auto... then again, i could sell my project 1600 and use the money to get a 260rs track ready.

Welcome to 80 pageas of stageas.

Dont bid on mine mother****** haha

Yeah there are a few Autechs. Couple of hot black ones droooooooling here.... as well as a few RsFours with BNCR33 RB26DETT conversions, that are cheaper, but no brembos.

cheers,

been talking to the mrs about it, thinking nismo kit and if i sell my project 1600 a 3L bottom end.

No point loosing money and starting again with a series 2, and dont really want a manual daily.

What is ur project 1600....?? PM me if ur selling, with some specs and details!

But yeah S1 prices seem to be dropping a fair bit with more and more S2's and even M35's becoming readily available. THere are heaps to choose from nowadays, so for a quicker sale i guess it either needs to be a REALLY nice car, or priced very competetively, to sell. Which is good for us buyers.

There is an S2 for sale 5spd manual RS Four S with 75,000km, Work 18" wheels, Cusco Zero coilovers, nismo exhaust, blitz EBC/turbo timer, full dayz aero body kit which i was quoted $20k landed and complied. Its pearl white and i want black lol so i said no.

Point is if u were looking at putting all that gear in an S1, its probably just as cheap to buy the S2.

EDIT- a manual S2 with all those mods would be about $4k cheaper, even.

Nismo kit - $800.

Painting and fitting - $2000+

Work 18x9s with rubber - $3000??

Cusco Zero Coilovers - $1500??

Nismo cat back - $600??

Blitz Timer and EBC i got no idea how much

Those prices are just guesses, beats me the actual cost. But would it be cheaper to sekk ur current car and buy soemthing thats had the basic steps already done?

There is a manual black series 2 at ssv in Melbourne which an exhaust and twin sunroofs, they are a little pricey there but I guess you can have them inspected, they have a warranty and you can test drie them before purchase. I am picking up mine tomorrow (pearl White) but they were both very high quality cars! My white one is in amazing condition!

Sorry to thread hijack but once I go to that link, all off the text is just question marks (?) no actual writing I can see picutres but cant read any of the text. Anytips? Anyone lese getting this?

thanks.

Yeah thats the factory dayz Aero kit (what im looking for) and wheels. I think i will go with the impor my own car option tho, tends to work out much cheaper (in this case 7-8grand) as ive been shown a fair few in japan.

Queenslander. Not entirely sure what the rules are for p-platers up here but yeah i know they cant have turbos or V8's.

just throw a whole bunch of ballast in the car and take it to a weighbridge. But would a police officer really pull over a wagon just randomly? Unless it had a pretty decent kit and huge wheels etc they wouldnt look twice at a stagea unless you were doing something pretty crazy in it????

you gotta deal with the vic p plater rules???

u cant drive a turbocharged car. doesnt matter the power/weight of it

i'm on old rules, all i have to deal with is 125kw/tonne... one of my cars is turbo, the other one is a worked NA :P

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
