Just look under the bonnet - check the plate. The RS did come out in n/a form but I'd give it a miss - all the disadvantage of a big heavy car with only a 2L non turbo engine - if you're on a budget you would be better off with the Avenir and save up for a 2.5L RS4T.

There was a mint low km (80,000) RS4T in Manukau City just now for $6500 - you might get an OK reposessed one for about $4k to $5k if you look around. Give me a phone in Auckland if you like (09) 838 8602

I'm pretty sure you could only get the 4wd with either the RB25DE or the RB25DET. AFAIK the RB20DE was only offered in the 2WD

Just look under the bonnet for front driveshafts - but if you see an RB20 dont bother.

This looks like the best buy on Trade Me at the moment - good Km looks good in photos - haven't checked it out because I already have one:

Would be a good buy at $5k to $6k

...it's an RB20E!!!!!

i drove it...before he put up the pics of the engine. Was probably the slowest car ive ever driven, was super tidy though.

But no thanks! kiwirs4t know of any cheap rs4s? maybe i needa save more, i have 4k so far, drove an avenir gt, it hauled ass! but stagea was heaps more cumfy

Go for a ride in the one I posted above (in Manukau city) to see if you like it...he might go down to $5k. It won't be lightning fast but for no cost you can reroute the hoses to get a bit more boost and a bigger exhaust and gutted cat etc will make it quite zippy. You sometimes see repossessed ones being auctioned and they go for less but the Manukau City Car looks mint and i sometimes regret that mine is not as original as i would have liked.

Exactly - SINGLE CAM RB-20 means avoid at all costs unless you don't mind being overtaken by babies in walkers!

I posted some information I got from my HyperRev magazines in a thread, here's a link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4120145
