Looking to buy a 98-00 rs4s s1 and wanted to know of the best dealers/importers to go through around melbourne?

cheers.

You can't...

98-00 are all series2's, also s1 manuals were never made. A few have been converted.

Buy private, you save a lot of bucks.

meant s2, just looking for one either like.. black or gunmetal grey and about as stock as possible, with the major 100k service done.

pretty much my dream car, but because of my job its hard to get out and go see the ones for sale. bit of a pain.

J-Spec Imports are melbourne based, may be worth having a browse of their website. They show auction and dealer cars currently in Japan, if you want to pick one to import. Just on a quick look of their site to give you some examples I found:

Auction Cars (Japan)

http://www.j-specimports.com.au/auction/20...on-4403811.html

http://www.j-specimports.com.au/auction/19...BO-4403814.html

http://www.j-specimports.com.au/auction/19...UR-4403816.html

http://www.j-specimports.com.au/auction/19...hV-4431611.html

Dealer Cars (Japan)

http://www.j-specimports.com.au/dealer/199...UR-3754787.html

http://www.j-specimports.com.au/dealer/199..._V-3754779.html

Personally I would be aiming for something with under 100,000km's, on the plus side if you have the 100,000km service done by a reputable workshop atleast you have some assurance that it's been done properly. That's just my take on it, cars 100,000km plus are going to show a lot of interior and exterior wear and tear.

I bought mine through luxury and performance vehciles in Scoresby road bayswater. Frank Wang is his name and the number is 97206789. He was good to deal with and ive had mine for 4 years now and its never missed a beat. he can also organise a 3 year used car warranty which is worth having..

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
