Just an update;

I bought the 2000 model Yellow Type-S yesterday! :P The inspection report came back really positive, and in the photos it looks sweet - it generaly appears to be in fantastic condition. I payed the FOB charge today and should have it on the boat soon with any luck! (Does anyone know roughly how long you can expect to wait after paying to getting it shipped?)

Just organising the compliance plate through GT Auto at Croyden now (J-Spec's recommendation).

Thankyou to all the people who were kind enough to reply to my questions - you were a big help.

Just an update - inspected the Stagea up at GT Auto in Croydon today. It's even better up close than I thought it was going to be. The mechanic said it was one of/if not the best example he'd worked on! Should be right to take home in about a week. Thanks to everyone who helped me out all those months back.

i also loved mine even more the first time i had seen it in the flesh. and another note, mine is an rs4s, and mine didnt have the 3 gauges. it has the xnavi touch screen unit, then the radio/md player and controls below in a single din. you should also search the stagea section in regards to those 3 centre gauges just in case, cos i think i remember reading something that it wasnt as easy as it may appear to be....anyways congrats on ur car man u will love it when u take her for a drive!

So how's the yellow stag' going Tom? Just thought I'd add something to this rather ancient thread... which should probably die... but I have made an observation about the NEO engine covers which I *think* is correct but can anyone confirm this... on '99 and earlier models the embossed "Turbo" and "NEO Straight 6" etc. writing is painted red, on '00 and later models they're not (just plain grey, like Tom's.

correct :P

had another look and I see now Timmeh! said

later model neos did not have coloured writing on the engine cover
but there was a lot of "they probably washed it off" and "they must have used a harsh chemical" so I thought I'd just clear it up

    • 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
