hey all, just noticed there was a stagea classifieds sub forum so thought i'd do away with my post in the forum wide classified section and try here to get an actual response. basically after a c34 stagea and nothing is really sparking interest in SA at the moment.

looking at a white s2 with a dayz bodykit on it in good cond, and normal mods (exhaust and intercooler). normal wear for 12-15 year old car is fine.

i've got $10k to spend, and am willing to look into anyone that has one in vic too.

probably pushing my luck, but something with sunroof would be pretty good.

Paid $12,500 for my bog stock series2 awd.. was very poorly converted to manual by a dodgy previous owner.... within 2 weeks turbo blew and gearbox died. Spent quite a bit making my car "normal"... you need more than 10k especially if you want luxury (sunroof)

Im assuming you didn't get it inspected, if all those things went wrong so soon after the purchase they would have been viable to a mechanic.

unfortunately my ex said it was a decent car after looking at it... I needed a wagon pretty badly for my dog so I trusted his judgement. in hindsight I should have gotten it inspected, but that was my bad and slowly my partner is fixing all the dodgy stuff my ex and previous owner did. aka backyard mechanics who know nothing...

off topic, sorry mate.

have a look on gumtree, there's actually some available for the price your wanting to pay in Adelaide.

you'll find one for 10..lol, its just a waiting game..they may be advertised for more..but trust me they don't sell for that...seen plenty

with leather/sunroofs go for 10 after being for sale for 15, then mid 12's for 6 month at a time

I imported my s.2 , 4wd full dayz kitted, leather, heated seats, double sunroof, lowered and exhaust, cost me $10,500 registered and complied...its mint. I imported it because i coudn't find a white one, heaps of black and silver ones though

your car was pretty modified before it was put back to stock to sell, not suprised you had problems with it...

hopefully. i've had two lined up, one in vic which sold the next day after i rang the guy, and another in SA. both albeit without sunroof, but with everything else i was after. just have to play the waiting game or maybe even look at importing one

Buy mine.

i actually sent you a txt a while back and forgot to get back to you. you mentioned it had a few touchups on the paint and a dent. any more details on those? ta

  • 4 weeks later...

thanks guys, found and bought a silver one locally. 98 dayz rs4s manual, coilovers, turbo back exhaust with screamer, sunroofs, pretty much perfect condition paint and body wise and mechanically it runs perfectly too (has had its timing belt done and serviced regularly). got it for a little under $10k with 3 months rego too :) now the fun of buying mods for it begins...

    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
    • Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
