I doubt u will pick up a stagea for 5k but you might find a reasonable one for under 10k so it would have to be a series 1 and I would look for one with the tow bar already done ,they would have to be the most fun option compared to the others, but at the end of the day if it's work car and it will cop a hard time the commy or falcon will be easier/cheaper for parts.

Yeah true

i found one for about $6500

but im more worried that its been thrashed and has some internal damage

my other thoughts are that i could one day transplant the rb25 into my r32 and get more power out of my beast

lol im goning to waste money

i should just get a commy or falcon ay?

2001 Magna wagon, 3.5L.

Friend just traded one in with 170,000kms for $2k

Bland car and FWD, but prob a better car than a Falcon/Commodore as its Japanese... unless you need to tow big weight.

Biggest downfall is the front seats. They give me a sore back quickly.

I'll sell you my AU Fairlane, it's got 195,000 on it, 5L V8, dual fuel, leather.

Issues:

Drinks oil

ABS/TCS Sensor unit needs changing

Need to change the radiator/water bottle

Passenger side power window switch doesn't go up

$5k

Worth a shot? lol

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
