Some useful info here:

Manual versions using the RB25DET were only available from about 1999 (I think), so will be more expensive. Auto's can be had for as little as $15K landed and complied, but manual's will probably be closer to $25K or even more.

There is already a thread on it in the Japan section...do a search.

Good luck finding a manual...they only made 11% of them in manual. If you were lucky enough to buy a manual early it was cheaper when new...

Because of this my mate recently bought a RS Four V 5AT...'99, Grade 5, 32,000km, with Nismo parts...2Mil Yen

$25K complied...must be a shitter or you dreaming. I've seen a few around the country already here asking for $50K.

There are quite a few of the 4WD versions.. He is not talking about the Autech version I don't think..

just the plain ol' Stagea RS4.. A couple came through today on the mailing lists:

Bit ugly if you ask me, but if you are after a family car with some decent go for once, I reckon would be good for something different.

Manuals started from the end of '98 (Series 2)...$25K is highly unlikely unless of course the car has extremely high kilometers. But with so little 5MT released and only one model released I can't see them being that cheap.

Just trying to tell you realistically...too many of you think everything is a bargain. I've said it before well maybe not in this forum, what you pay is what you get! If your paying 1+ Mil for an early Stagea then you can reasonably say the oddometer readings is legit, along with the complete log books.

Series 2 also had the 280ps NEO RB25DET dropped in, which is why we picked up a '99 at the auctions. Earlier ones only had 235ps.

hehehe - am trying to resist :cheers: I don't want to give up my 34 and be practical but it's a bit of pain since rearward facing baby seats don't fit in the rear of the car. Our other car is a cube, which is about half the size of a skyline and feels very sluggish with 4 people in it...:(

no immediate plans to change anytime soon, but if I do it's either a turbo stagea or a *cough* Subaru WRX STI :D

Dude, your in brisbane, I swear I have seen heaps at import yards. Go have a look at them there, it seriously might be worth while spending a bit more money to buy the car already here. At least that way you can drive it, have a look at it etc, hell of a lot cheaper than spending $25k to only find you have a car you dont like.

Thanks for the feedback guys, My brother works for an importer, i'm not buying one thats already here, the yards who have them are making a packet in profit, i'l land one at the right price, for the bucks i save i can bomb the *** out of it. Just wanna make sure i buy the right model from japan. I'd love the 260, i think it's out of my price range, unless i rob that bank, no the rs four v whatever sounds the go, i've already priced up the 98/99 model ones and i' laughing, could ever spend another 10grand on buying it, just don't know what the 260's goin for keep the info comming

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
