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 :(

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
