im in the process of buying a series 2 manual stagea through j-spec.com.au

are there many other stagea owners in nsw?

ive got a maximum budget of 950,000 yen FOB, do you think i am likely to pick a nice example for that kind of price?

You will get nothing but crap for that type of price ie accident damaged etc etc. You normally would need to spend 1.3 to 1.4M yen (or higher) for a good condition Four S...

Thats what I was thinking Ian.... under $1m yen just isnt enough for a S2 manual, maybe ok for a S1 auto.

For a nice condition version s2 manual a minimum 1.5m yen would be needed. For Sure. Or buy one already imported, for 25k or less.

I would be extremely surprised if you could get a "four s", already imported, for $25K - in reasonable condition! Read http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=73058 from start to finish... Especially my post at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...8entry1378058

thanks funkymonkey, and a special thanks to J-Spec.

yesterday i won a silver s2 rs four s manual with a rating four, check out the pics.

it has a bodykit with 260rs front bar, aftermarket suspension, aftermarket exhaust, and rims.

Good luck with it, however in my experiance, ive often found the great bargains in the world end up being not so great ...

But, dont fret, i am sure its only because its higher KM that the price was that low. Good luck with it and cant wait to see it on the road.

What city is it coming to?

yesterday i won a silver s2 rs four s manual with 110,000 kms with a rating four for a mere 760,000 yen FOB, check out the pics.

I assume the auction report you have has the vin number and the production year (both missing from the one you posted). If you PM the VIN number I'll check it in FAST to tell you exactly what the model/year is.

And don't forget for compliance you'll have to put normal suspension and exhaust on etc etc.

Excellent buy if it turns out OK (which hopefully it will!)! Keep us all informed.

The VIN number is on the auction report, its just been split into two places as this auction does. Its WGNC34-122104, which is a 10/1998 built RS Four S.

yes i am aware that the exhaust suspension and wheels need to be changed over for compliance but i will get the workshop to put it all back on once complied, and i have allowed for this extra cost in my budget.

the stagea will be imported to QLD then once complied it will be transported to my place (Western Sydney)

so are there many other stagea owners around sydney? and are any of them involved in the SAU NSW car club? as i am interested in joining once i have gotten my car.

Out of curiosity EGA41T, I take it you would need to borrow the exhaust/wheels/ whatever else is modified from the compliance place to get rego.

Now does that mean that it needs to have the stock parts on when you get it checked in Sydney? Meaning you need to get the car trucked down to Sydney, then send the stock parts back to Queensland?

Sorry.. just trying to make some sense of it...

if its complied in QLD , it will need stock parts at the time of complience , then these can be removed and aftermarket parts added back before its shipped down to sydney . Once its in nsw it just has to meet roadworthy requirements to be registered

yeah pretty much, it has 17" rims standard so i could have upto 19" rims and still wouldnt be a problem with rego

although i have no idea how loud it will be so that is another issue.

does anyone in nsw know if you need to get a blue slip after the vehicle is complied in brisbane to get it registered?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
