I would see 2wd as a big downside - compensated in part if it were a manual. Some RS models have no turbo.

I thought RS means "Turbo", the 4(FOUR) means 4WD. I have an RSFOUR and a 25G which is RWD,N/A, auto.

Another thing different between the 4WD and RWD is the front suspension. There is less offset on the 25G so I needed spacers to fit the 17X8s.It came with 17X7s.

Has anyone got a definitive resource for S1 Dayz options? Ours has the dayz kit and badging so I presume genuine. Interior plastics grey/black, cloth, twin roofs, auto tailgate, LSD, nismo 'red' shocks/springs, nismo 2.5" cat back exhaust, wiper heaters, grille is chrome slat type. Interested to know what is likely optioned from new vs accumulated over time. It has s2 rear lights but I'm presuming they were fitted by the owner.

Hi all,

This is my first post on this forum! My N15 SSS Pulsar was recently stolen, and I've almost decided to get a C34s2 RS-four S as my next car :D

I have my eyes on these two Stags atm: Modified and Unmodified

I was wondering how the prices of these two examples rate? Are they about right or a bit on the expensive side?

The VIN of the 2nd example is: 6U900WGNC34138456 - if someone could run it through FAST, i'd be much appreciative.

Cheers!

IMO go for the slightly more expensive one, i saw that particular one come up a couple months after i bought mine and thought dam, though it used to be advertised at $15,000 so ask the seller bout that. u will end up wanting to do alot of those mods anyway after a couple months of owning it.

*Edit - and the dayz bodykits look alot better then the standard one plus those second front fog lights are pretty rare

Hi All,

Looking for some help with finding a good manual Stag, problem is I live in WA and everything for sale is not.

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/results.aspx?No=0&Qpb=1&Cr=12&Ns=pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|0||pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&sid=12FFA3A669BA&SearchAction=N&silo=1011&seot=1&Nne=15&N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294960181%204294963846%201622&trecs=18

Can anyone help me with acting as a sort of buyers agent?

Need someone who is going to be picky to give me honest feedback and has potentially owned one so they know what they should feel like and also what to look for..

Are any of the ones up for sale members?

I am tempted by the dealer option in SA....

Thanks.

Shane.

Have a look in the Classifieds section here and narrow your options down by doing a search with "Stagea" as your tag. There are always a few for sale here, and a majority are cars that are well-loved and cared for.

more expensive one.. i did when i bought mine and glad i did.. the one i got had about 10k worth of mods and was about 3k more than a stock one so to me it made sense to do that rather than forking out another 7k to do the mods yourself.

:D That's what I figured - drove it home from Melbourne yesterday and went on the Adelaide Stagea cruise today!

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how common surface rust is in sills?

I am trying to buy a manual stag from over east ( I am in perth) and two cars i have got independent inspectors to have a look have found some surface rust in sills or boot floor.

First one was worse than the second, though the second had been black duluxed underneath.

The first had pretty bad bonus rust in the chassis side wall behind the strut top near the abs module... straightened out front hit?

I am guessing these are snow region cars.

How common are steering rack leaks?

Should I:

A) Wait, consider my inspection fees as gone to experience (still cheaper than flights) and try to wait for a clean one to come up

B) Use it as a tool for haggling, and deal with it by not looking too hard underneath.

I am mainly looking at dealer cars as I figure organising transport etc might be easier.

Anyone selling an RS4S in Perth?

get a straight one

or buy mine

they will nearly all have rust under the wing mirrors, but rust elsewhere isn't too common (unless its a cold pack car)

it would probably be worth importing one yourself if you can't find what you want locally, then you can specify stuff like sunroofs, dayz options, jap wheels, mods etc and save yourself quite a bit!

but your doing the right thing with the inspections be cause buying a lemon could potentially cost your $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sorry champ but your in tasmania...

Thats a boat, truck then train....

have you just been looking at dealers or private?

because there are heaps for sale privately and they are so cheap now :(

Thanks for trying to sell me you cars from states even further away...

Ended up sticking with dealers.

I hope it goes on the truck tomorrow and is in WA by Friday but I think i will be lucky....

Better not be rooted....

After someone's thoughts on this:

http://www.carsales....id=133054BF324F

Any good or no?

That one has been for sale for ages! It was available when I got mine 3 months ago (to the day).

Over priced for what it is. For that money you could get nicer, with some mods and dayz options. Check out Robbie's car in the classifieds.

Only difference is Robbie's is auto, but it is tiptronic.

Really, Robbie wants $15500 for his, and it's a great car, great colour. Surely for the $1500 difference you could do a manual conversion if you needed a manual?

For $17k you are starting to look at clean, standard M35s, or maybe even a 260?

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
