prob worth bout 6-8k

btw tape stacker in the centre console isnt rare.. its in half of them pretty much. i got one in mine

[FNTA5Y]

sweet as... 6-8k is good... kinda the price i was hoping!

[KamikazeR33]

i bought my 87 model for $1200.. needed some minor things done but its like new now

pity im selling mine now 2

[FNTA5Y]

how much have u got on yours??? i really wanted an R32... but planned to buy once once my VL project is back on the road and looking nice again ready for selling

my mates dad is a car wholesaler so if something good comes in i can usually get it VERY cheap hence why i jumped at the Calais Turbo cause ide be getting it cheaper than a nice looking NA VL... i woulda gone thru him for a nice silvia or r32 but they dont come thru very often as trade in's to many people sell them privately cause they can fetch alot more...

[KamikazeR33]

where do u live anyway?

[FNTA5Y]

Near Byron Bay NSW...

[SKY031]

TAPE STACKER in CONSOLE VERY RARE FACTROY OPTION and UNHEARD OF BY DIE-HARD ENTHUSIASTS

I was under the impression that it was a standard feature in the Passage?

I was under the impression that it was a standard feature in the Passage?

yeah i thought so 2

[FNTA5Y]

found out this arvo that both the cars i where after where sold... oh well im still looking...

87 means its a n S2, they have the ugly front end. 88 onwards have the s3 front which is much much nicer. Also the standard nics 20det in the 87s is shocking, only get one if its got an eccs motor in it, pref silvertop.

sorry m8 i just beat u to iti bought it off him thursday shes going gr8 just needs a little bit of work on the suspension side of things which r going to be done this week sometime other then that she is mint g/l finding a car.

[R31 Chick]

Yep, up to 87 is the S1 Pinny looking front end but trust me, many have had these changed (like mine) so best to ask.

Manuals are hard to come by but do exist so look out for a manual would be better and make sure it has an LSD diff (if its important to you) as not all do. I had to change mine from single to LSD but was factory manual. Also bear in mind, wheels are hard to get in the offset with 4 stud.

Also look for one with an RB20DET ECCS, many has NICS engines and even RB20ET's etc.

Other than that they are a great car, I love mine and as they are different they attract a lot of attention. Everyone told me to get a 32, wanted something different and haven't regretted it for a day.

Don't forget the S1 Passages that were equipped with the RB20ET powerhouse

S1 front ends can look good!!

[R31 Chick]

Mine is a S1 that had a RB20ET factory, thankfully by the time I brought it there was a silvertop RB20DET sitting there, phew!

Yer they look ok, prefer the S3 with projectors, mine has the new front end with the old rear, perfect combo, but then I am biased

Even S3 ones were. But obviously not the only choice of motor, given you could have anything from a diesel to a RB20DET ECCS.

a mate just scored one in mint condition minus an engne for $1500, we just spent the weekend transferring his silver top rb20det into it...

S3 Ti front on this one, i got the S3 taillights and Turbo centre garnish of him....
