Thats awesome news for you!!! im looking forward to getting a similar phone call in a few weeks haha

What sort of stagea did you settle on? I think there are a few stageras in perth now

Main points -

ask them if it is black wiring.

check with them to see if it meets australian standards for alarm/immob's. (you can get lower insurance premiums)

also ask if it has the ability to add things on later. a lot of aftermarket alarms allow you to add (for very little cost - $15 to $50) things like glass breakage sensors, shock sensors, tilt sensors, as well as automated window shut (if you arm it with your windows down it will automatically wind them all up - very cool).

as well as automated window shut (if you arm it with your windows down it will automatically wind them all up - very cool).

--------------------that would be cool. looked on ebay and mongose seems to be a reputable brand, just gota check which model it will be, here are sum pics of the new stag

Mongoose are a decent brand. Cyclops also do very well (heaps of add-ons as well as heaps of places stock them).

Another thing - make sure you get an alarm immob that will recognise that you have a turbo timer and have a delayed immobilisation,so that if u fit a timer later you dont come into dramas.

Go to www.dynamco.com.au and have a look around. you can build your own alarm with features you want.

Hooking up the window winders is pretty easy - just a couple of relays and some clever thinking.

Is it an autech version?

$17k plus freight and rego? how about compliancing etc?

Do you remember how much it was in Yen to purchase the car initially....? Dont need to answer that, im just trying to organise my own car atm and still getting a feel for what i should be getting for my money etc

no, i wish, it was only has the front bar

$17k plus freight and rego? how about compliancing etc?

that includes compliance and after market warranty, 5 yrs. spotted the car a few months back and inquired about it and found out it was still i jp, put down my deposit a week later and have been playing the waiting game, think im gettin a good deal as it has twin sun roofs, leather and electric seats, some sort of coilovers, maybe ohlins, 3 inch cat back zorst , rims and the body kit

not sure what it cost in yen as i saw it advertised on their website in aussie dollars. when chossing ya car from jp try to keep the mods to exhaust, rims and suspension. any bigger mods will make ya compliance price increase, woul think you would be looking at 14 to 15 thousand for importing yourself. dont know if you have thought of going for 1 already in aus? shure it costs a few more grand but if u can get an afftermarket warranty it could be well worth it, saved me about 4 grand on my first stag as the gearbox went= 2 grand, coilpacks went= $900, a relay behind the dash stuffed up+ another few hundred. the relay and coilpack seem to be common problems so be wary .

Nice S2. Looks great! Plenty of good deals around on S2's if you are patient... Mine took 8 weeks to find (S2 RSV RWD with similar fruit and only 59kms) but is still not home yet. Been in Brissie being complied. Was finished 2 weeks ago but waiting for compl. plate appr. etc. (taps foot...) Have been through this twice before but still hate waiting! Is your car 4WD or RWD?

Jerome looks nice ;) cant wait to see it on a cruise...might have to organise a chrissie or new year stagea meet so we can have a looksie :)

was hoping to make this cruise and all was looking good but a few delays and well, just gona have to be the next one

also found out that the car had auto start but it was removed for compliance :( . tryin to get it back though, dont like my chances

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
