If it was built in January '95, I'd say it's series 1. But check the engine anyway as Airzone said. Incidentally how do you know what month it was made? Mine just has the year on it, but I can tell I've got a series 1.5 by everything already mentioned here.

Sewid, how do you tell from the headlights that it's a series 1? My headlights look pretty much the same to me. The boot badge is definitely series 1 but it could have been replaced with an older one after being stolen (I don't think this is the case though, I'm just saying it could be)

I bought one in similar condition less than half a year back. It stills puurrrrsss. Similar deal. 18'' mags, Other wise standard.

Paid Slightly less than you though and i got $1000 thrown in for insurance. and other little things.

If this is your first car of a performance nature... Start saving money now. A little every week. Once you start to learn + play with your car you will need tyres soon. And other little things always pop up.

Interesting point: what's that relay-looking thing to the right of your engine-bay fuse box ? and that white wire across the top of the firewall ?

i went and had a look, some FET High Performance Compact Relay, the fat white wire goes to the added fog lights (multicoloured), and the firewall one goes to the added switch next to the handbrake

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
