dude... seriously... just get one. You have got this far, and just need pushing over the edge into the act of picking one that suits your needs and lifestyle and budget, and BUYING it!!!!

There is a stagea to suit every purpose - luxury models (prime edition etc) base model RSfours, series 2 in manual, auto, or tiptronic auto, 4wd or rear wheel drive, 2.5L turbo or 2.6L twin turbo, sunroofs or none, body kit (autech, nismo, dayz) or none, pick one up pre modded or DIY your own car.

.. or $23,800 :down:

i love the dayz :blush: if i wasnt getting a 260 it would be a 5 speed s2 dayz

OR evan bettaar than both is a yellow s2 with r34 front :D.. ok ill stop hijacking the thread.. just keep your eyes pealed on the auction sites for a while to get an idea of what to expect mate (thats if your importing)

you can get one for 12k, but if you plan on keeping it, budget 3k in the first 6months in tidying it up.

mine was advertised for 15k, and since have spent alot on little things, last things to do maintenance wise will be diff oils, power steering fluid and attessa fluid.

You could buy mine if you want once you are ready :D basic mods and been tidied up, then i could get a 260 :D

stagea's are terrible, dont get one.

The people on this forum HATE their stagea's and wish they bought holden or ford instead.

They are not fun, and fall apart if you go over a speedbump to quickly.

They have no power at all, a Hyundai has better performance.

its a crappy rice car for people who cant handle a real car (V8)

............

amirite?

i wonder how long itll be before someones engine shits itself and they decide to go with the 4.5L nissan V8? Thatd be different...

Back on topic - get one

Someone is already on it, along with a single turbo, from what I believe...

My money (literally!) is on mine going bang next... I am incompatible with tecnology/engines...

*edit* Yes: get one! *edit*

    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
