"Auction grade 4.5 with a B interior (almost unheard of for a vehicle of this age)."

They are becoming collectors item over there.

Is a BIT exy... not too bad. After a major detail it would make more sense. I reckon prestige is more expensive then most though

again, it's not a Passage.

It doesn't have a Passage interior.

It doesn't have Passage badging.

All Passages are 4 door pillarless, but not all 4 door pillarless are Passages. :(

I dunno how you can say that Sky, with so much conviction.

I have only seen 3 or 4 Passage GT's, but all have been different, different interiors, some had the rear wing and some didn't, some were badged and some weren't, all had different wheels, 1 had a body kit and the others didn't.

How would you know for sure?????????

The description says it's a coupe and it clearly isn't, so how come your such the veritable expert and all from a picture or 2.

Still though, at the end of the day it's a 4 door R31 red top RB20DET and all the reports I have read, say the same thing, they run out of puff around 5000 so they're not as punchy as you might think.

Another thing with either of the 4 door R3's, if your over about 5' 8" tall, your head & shoulder's are going to be in the middle of the back door glass, not a great place to be sitting in my opinion.

If I was buying any R3 series, a coupe is the only way to go and they can be bought for this sort of money, here in Oz landed and complied and with rego.

Cheers, D

That's probably because like some of the posters above, you're assuming that if it's a 4 door import, it's a Passage.

It's badged as a GTS.

It doesn't have the plush velour interior.

The front seats are the wrong shape, and also the wrong colour, and the wrong fabric... Passage simply didn't have an interior that looks like that, and iirc the Passage has a centre arm rest in the rear (as per Ti) which is also absent.

Steering wheel is not an original Passage item.

..... all of the above could have been changed by a previous owner, but it's not very likely.

It would be like buying a GTR and removing everything that makes it a GTR, then selling it as a GTS.

the s1&2 passages are the same with the blue interior like mine, s3 is different n doesnt have the velour seats, altho some people put the blueys back in their s3

that passage doesnt have the GT tail lights, rather has the boring 4 door ones

also that passage doesnt have cruise control where i thought that came standard?

also no tape stacker? wtf :P

in my opinion i think this car is a bit of a mixo

a mix of this a mix of that

but i wouldnt pay that. i paid 1200 for my passage which needed a small amount of work done

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
