Depends on your budget..... have you checked the for sale thread? There's a beautiful yellow S2 in Perth for under 25k for sale by a member here on the forums..... unless its sold?

Series 1 - around 20k at car yards, or 18k private

Series 2 - add 5k

Definately do it, I think there are around 6-7 Stagea's here in Adelaide. I went to Qld in July to buy one and brought it back to live in my garage.

And how's this, I think I may have found out that one of the 3 silver Stagea's in Adelaide lives around 200m down the road from me!!!! Whats the coincedence of that?

Good luck with it mate.

,8 Nov 2005, 10:54 AM]If you want to import one .... contact VRFour on here.  He's from S.A. ..... and l cannot but highly recommend him for all his work with the importation of my stagea.

Thanks for that what do you think of the prices around as compared to importing.

I thought the new 15yr law would mean that it's harder/impossible to import cars from 97/98?

Budget $20k so probably S1 seen a couple luxuried up (leather) but they seem pretty rare

No, these are on the Compliance plate scheme, as such.

Around $3500 - $4k for the compliancing of the vehicle, depending on what company you get to do the compliance for you, such as Nismo etc.

I thought they were only done in Perth and Brisbane, but I might be wrong.

Hi looking at the moment at trying to bring a Stag down to SA a few that have been hanging around caryards.

Just wondering if there are any ou there privately that people are trying to sell?

BRAZEN`s yellow S2 is the best value atm ..car is priced same if not better than "off the plan"...if yellow is a bit hard its still cheap enough to paint 2 tone ..top half black with pinstipe would look FAT.....s2

Ahh, thats the name I was looking for. Brazen's car looks REAL nice. Good price ready to sell as well.

If you wanted to keep it under 20k, grab a clean condition S1 from QLD and spend a few grand on tuning mods to get the ball rolling.....

If you want to look at a Stagea in Adelaide before buying one PM me.

Good luck!

Another one for Brazens car

Mate, for ~25k, you wont import such a good example, plus there is nothing like paying the same day as driving away.

There is SOME excitement with importing, but only at first. Then it turns into anger with delay this delay that (ive imported myself two celsiors before). I bought the stag locally.

So yeh, Brazens! Much better power for std too, wont have to mod it right away.

So you are going to sell it now?

How about that nasty tax man.....?

Oh, and those rims.... :D

:lol: Yeah the tax man still sucks. But its ok, if I declare that the car is worth more to the government then I wont get taxed, but I dont think I will do that unless I can sell the car before it comes time to register it ;) But yes, the tax man is gay :)

Cheers,

Chris

6-7 Stageas in Adelaide!! Jeez, I must be living under a rock! The only one I've seen here getting around is the green one with the white rims on it. Aside from that, a couple in car yards.

Anyway, the offer's there if you want to import. Just PM me.

Thanks to all for the replies greatly appreciated. Obviously a few options for buyers at this point.

Not sure which way to jump Perth & QLD are both a long way away and importing sounds romantic but fraught and u may and may not get what u want plus i've got to convince others with a stake in the show.

Thanks again i will be watching with interest and will be looking out for the Adel Stags.

Let me know if you want to have a peek at my Stagea.... the offer stands mate. Meant to be showing it to another forum member soon, who is looking for a Stagea as well.

Im in Morphett Vale, and work in the city, although I dont drive it into work every day.

Shit yeah buy mine! Thanks for the props guys by the way!

I am trying to sell - but not desperate (yet) - havent even advertised it apart from on here and a sticker on the rear window lol.... probably whack in the trading post car mag next week.

Finally found and bought a 1967 1/2 Fairlady Roadster I am having fun with... but need to get a soft-top before it becomes my daily driver - so the Stag still getting me around nicely :(

But yeah - call me RDSA... I am sure we can agree to a price that will more than compensate for the $700 - $900 it'll cost to get it transported to South Australia.

0417 097 178 or email [email protected]

Cheers fellas - hope your all treating your Stags well :(

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
