Hi,

I'm just starting me search for a Phase 2 RSFour RB25DET and I was wondering if their are any external differences between turbo and normally aspirated models?

The only reason I ask is many of the cars online are somewhat lacking in detail, which makes the search even more difficult.

Cheers

Thanks for the tips, which will be very useful, although it would seem the RSFOURr badge doesn't automatically mean it's a Turbo. I've had a couple of responses from sellers of cars with these badges, where I've enquired if they were also RB25DET and they've actually been NA models. I believe the RSFOUR was offered as both turbo/NA, whilst RWD was also offered with turbo/NA engines.

Off to look at photos of grill's and bumpers....

Have a good look here at SAU there are a few members that are selling their cars and you can get a tidy example and do someone at favour at the same time.

Might be a little difficult to purchase from SAU as it appears the user is in the UK. lol

Yep, I'm in the UK and as much as I would like to help you guys out, I just don't think it's going to happen for obvious reasons. :D

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
