hey guys im looking at a heap of stagea's in south oz for sale. but the prices are very up and down and i dont know a hole heap about stagea's or nissan.its really makin me crazy!

i really want a black series 2 4wd in manual.but hard to find let alone finding a manual in any colour.

whats the most important things i need to look out for when buying 1???

so i dont buy a lemon!!what paper work do i have to make sure i see from the dealer??

and why are the prices so up and down??

coz there is a nice 1 for 18 thousand and same car diff place its 23 thousand and there is not 1 thing different from the 2 of them.. and that makes me second guess myself with the 18 thousand 1.

is it best to buy from a dealer or private?

and whats the average price that i should look out for say with the 1998-2000 models rs4??

anyways guys any words of wisdom will help alot

cheers.

Have a look through the For Sale thread - there are a couple of VERY nice cars for sale on here. Wildkat has a black 4wd manual for sale - i was going to buy it myself actually, but got one in from japan instead. Nothing wrong with the car - its an outstanding vehicle and very reasonably priced - i was just after something different.

hahaha giving it a plug ha lil bobbeh :D yes we will be advertising properly our black series 2 manual in the next month..it took us forever to find it in Japan when we were importing and getting them is a rare find....Lil Bobbeh you just had to out do everyone by buying a 260rs :nyaanyaa:

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
