Factory Power/weight Figures

[_Ryan_]

hey all

i was just doing some reading, and weighing up doing mods to my stagea, and found that Series 2's and 260RS's arent over the victorian power/weight laws of 125kw/1000kg. A 1650kg vehicle with 206kw is dead on legal.

The figures i found when originally purchasing led me to beleive they were illegal, hence me looking for the best series 1 i could find... instead of getting a series 2 or stretching to a 260rs.

Does anyone have any definate figures for me, and what do you guys think i could get for a 97 series 1, 87k km, bilsteins, 2000km old re001's, shift kit, had its 100k km service? And what should i be looking to pay for an auto s2, an auto 260rs, and a manual 260rs.

For a car to be imported it really only needs to meet 2 of a possible 4 criteria, im pretty sure. Power-weight is only one of these four.

Also, pretty sure you wont find an auto 260RS.

Manual 260RS you can get for as little as $21,000 L+C'd.

as per -

Auto S2's are pretty common, you can pick one up with full dayz aero kit, aftermarket suspension, exhaust, 18s etc tscope of mods in an auto for $15k landed and complied, with less than 80,000km (genuine or not)

Ive just sifted through 800 stageas over the last few days :-) to buy my own. Have a look through the japan auctions. If you cant find what you want among 800 stageas, buy a liberty.

cheers, the p/w i mentioned is the victorian p plater restriction i have to deal with.

Can you link me to the page i should be using to search with? i think my car will be up for sale once i finnish wrecking my spare 1600

Were there auto 260rs's? as for a daily, i prefer auto... then again, i could sell my project 1600 and use the money to get a 260rs track ready.

No, there's no such thing as an Auto 260RS.

Remember, the 260RS is effectively a GT-R-specification Stagea, and there are no auto GT-Rs either...

[Lil_Bobby_260]

and there are no auto GT-Rs either...

There are now lol... the new one.

But anyway here is the link -

Welcome to 80 pageas of stageas.

Dont bid on mine mother****** haha

Yeah there are a few Autechs. Couple of hot black ones droooooooling here.... as well as a few RsFours with BNCR33 RB26DETT conversions, that are cheaper, but no brembos.

What is ur project 1600....?? PM me if ur selling, with some specs and details!

But yeah S1 prices seem to be dropping a fair bit with more and more S2's and even M35's becoming readily available. THere are heaps to choose from nowadays, so for a quicker sale i guess it either needs to be a REALLY nice car, or priced very competetively, to sell. Which is good for us buyers.

There is an S2 for sale 5spd manual RS Four S with 75,000km, Work 18" wheels, Cusco Zero coilovers, nismo exhaust, blitz EBC/turbo timer, full dayz aero body kit which i was quoted $20k landed and complied. Its pearl white and i want black lol so i said no.

Point is if u were looking at putting all that gear in an S1, its probably just as cheap to buy the S2.

EDIT- a manual S2 with all those mods would be about $4k cheaper, even.

Nismo kit - $800.

Painting and fitting - $2000+

Work 18x9s with rubber - $3000??

Cusco Zero Coilovers - $1500??

Nismo cat back - $600??

Blitz Timer and EBC i got no idea how much

Those prices are just guesses, beats me the actual cost. But would it be cheaper to sekk ur current car and buy soemthing thats had the basic steps already done?

There is a manual black series 2 at ssv in Melbourne which an exhaust and twin sunroofs, they are a little pricey there but I guess you can have them inspected, they have a warranty and you can test drie them before purchase. I am picking up mine tomorrow (pearl White) but they were both very high quality cars! My white one is in amazing condition!

[Lil_Bobby_260]

how much for the black s2 manual...? looking for one with a kit (dayz aero etc)

Sorry to thread hijack but once I go to that link, all off the text is just question marks (?) no actual writing I can see picutres but cant read any of the text. Anytips? Anyone lese getting this?

thanks.

[silva33]

Here it is here buddy..

I'm guessing it has the kits as it had the dayz badge on the back?

Stagea Black

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Yeah thats the factory dayz Aero kit (what im looking for) and wheels. I think i will go with the impor my own car option tho, tends to work out much cheaper (in this case 7-8grand) as ive been shown a fair few in japan.

you gotta deal with the vic p plater rules???

u cant drive a turbocharged car. doesnt matter the power/weight of it

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Queenslander. Not entirely sure what the rules are for p-platers up here but yeah i know they cant have turbos or V8's.

just throw a whole bunch of ballast in the car and take it to a weighbridge. But would a police officer really pull over a wagon just randomly? Unless it had a pretty decent kit and huge wheels etc they wouldnt look twice at a stagea unless you were doing something pretty crazy in it????
