Story goes something like this.......

Driving along Ferry Rd in my '96 Magna and stopped at yard to check out imports, hoping I might find an affordable Liberty wagon. After glancing round at some Delica's, Lines, Soarer's, FTO'S etc. Next to Soarer was this green wagon with some weird badge on the grille. "What is THAT?" i think to my self. 'RSFOUR' hmmm, sounds promising, 'STAGEA' :uhh: STAGJI WHAT!!!

Had roof racks, a must on performance wagons i rekon, mad foggies, looked mean, two sunroofs, LEATHER INTERIOR, :crazy: , POWER WINDOWS, MIRRORS, TURBO 4WD!!!! My GODDD..... aggheemmm

Anyway, $26,000......

Drove off...couldn't stop thinking of it....

Went to get some paint on Bris. Rd, near there yard with even more imports and 4 'STAJIFINGIES', and different colours.....Only one had leather, 44,000k's, new tyres, no scratches, $24,000....neg. to $20,000 cash inc. 3yr war. and 6mth rego.

tbc.....gtg oz fair movies, gf wants to 'go out' pfftttt...... :wassup: i just wanna drive ittt

Hahaha, good story

Today I got two people asking me what sort of car it was One bloke went right out of his way to weave in and out of traffic to pull up next to me to ask me questions about it. He said 'what's in it?' I said 'turbo straight 6 4wd' he replied 'ahhh, it's going up against the new Audi A4's and Volvo S70's'.

I replied 'naaa, their a little too late, this is a 1997 model'... His jaw just dropped

Mad wagon - did you put the intercooler kit in ? what size is it ?

I want to get plates saying NO VOLVO, I also live the second looks you get and everybody ask's what the hell is that, I just say Skyline wagon with 4WD, nice and simple.

Looking to sell Tein coil overs, any offers as I have some 20" Budnik's comming soon so I need to put standard suspension back on to give nice height.

It sits low whith coil overs, nice off set camber all round if you want.

Those R34 rims look awesome on your stagea. that's the sort of rims i want ot end up with once i get mine. I'm going to the goldcoast for indy in October, looking to buy one then.

None of my mates know what i'm talking about when i tell them i'm getting a Stagea. Skyline wagon seems the easiest way to tell them.

Got a timeslip, I like to see the 60' and 1000' times and speed

on all the passes he didnt screw up the 60ft was ~1.9

he ran 2 11.7's at mid 190's

i'll see if i can grab the slip off him in the morning

it was on 235 tyres, and at full weight on quite a slippery track

[Jay95R33]

SafT - what sort of mods were done to your fathers RS4 ? (or is the 25gFour different?)

Is it based on the RB25det as well ?

Would be interesting to see, to give us something to strive towards

It's a 260RS :aroused: (or equivalent), I was worried :Paranoid:

I was thinking that I was going to be happy with a 13 and this guy has an 11!!! :headspin:

But I don't feel so bad now

[SafT]

it used to be a 2.5 NA 4wd

its still badged as a 2.5 NA 4wd

That would be a great model to start off with, but they don't comply here. They are not really a high performance import, so DOTARS wouldn't let it off the ship. We only get RB25DET 4WD, mostly auto's, RSFOUR is my model. I haven't seen a fully complied 260RS yet, but there are RAWS working on the paperwork to get them complied.

Some pictures would be good
