hey guys im looking at a heap of stagea's in south oz for sale. but the prices are very up and down and i dont know a hole heap about stagea's or nissan.its really makin me crazy!

i really want a black series 2 4wd in manual.but hard to find let alone finding a manual in any colour.

whats the most important things i need to look out for when buying 1???

so i dont buy a lemon!!what paper work do i have to make sure i see from the dealer??

and why are the prices so up and down??

coz there is a nice 1 for 18 thousand and same car diff place its 23 thousand and there is not 1 thing different from the 2 of them.. and that makes me second guess myself with the 18 thousand 1.

is it best to buy from a dealer or private?

and whats the average price that i should look out for say with the 1998-2000 models rs4??

anyways guys any words of wisdom will help alot

cheers.

Have a look through the For Sale thread - there are a couple of VERY nice cars for sale on here. Wildkat has a black 4wd manual for sale - i was going to buy it myself actually, but got one in from japan instead. Nothing wrong with the car - its an outstanding vehicle and very reasonably priced - i was just after something different.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
