the world is flat though...

I'd be walking away from that mate, looks like it was from a snowy area in Japan.

Also, that grille is a "dolphin aeroform" piece.

Chris. You are very very wrong. Rs4s is a factory built car. You may aswell try telling people the world is flat.

That's what I said, the rs4s is the only model that was manual and it was RWD, the op said this car is a manual with AWD so it's been converted is what I'm saying

Rs4s is a manual 4wd. I have one. Many people have them. Chris once again you are very wrong. It's RS4S because its an RS 4WD MANUAL it's that same as RS4V is an RS 4WD AUTOMATIC

The 4 stands for 4wd the same as a gts4 is a 4wd skyline

Chris, you are wrong - there were no factory 5-speed manual series 1 Stageas except the 260RS, and the only series 2 Stageas with factory 5-speed manuals were the 260RS and the RS Four S (with the "Four" referring to the fact it was AWD, not RWD only).

Turns out is has 1 reverse light, the other thing has a red cover over it though, so... not a fog light?

The fact that it has one reverse light and 1 (red) fog light means it was a car optioned with the Snow pack, and hence due to driving on salted roads is much more likely to have rust if it wasn't treated well, as others have pointed out.

I, too, would walk away from this car. There are many well-loved cars available here from SAU forum members that will bring some added value to your purchase.

Also, check out this thread for plenty of info that should help: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/92065-buyers-guide-the-nissan-c34-stagea/

Well I stand corrected, ive always been under the impression the s models were the only RWD model, no need to be a smart arse or people won't ask questions in the future

I only made it a smart ass angry comment because you tried to say it a second time after you were corrected.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
