Looking At Buying This Stag

[jpave]

Hey guys im looking at picking up this stagea for 18k

I have only just started looking but this seems like a pretty good price.

Apparently only 62,000km on the clock

Its an auto with dvd player.

I think its an RS4 or an RS4V but im not even sure of the difference between the 2 models.

So yeh just wanted some more help on identifying this model and how much it might be worth.

Sorry if all this has already been explained.

Oh and if this is in the wrong spot just delete it and ill post it somewhere else.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

62,000kms is entirely possible.

It is an RS Four V as there are no manual RS's.

Is it a DVD player or does it have the DVD ROM. BIIIIIGGG difference.

Looks like Impul side skirts (or at least copies).

Don't know about the front lip and the rear skirt. Look like an imitation as the fit is not good enough for "real" jdm.

Love the grill though

What about interior details/pics?

In the end, the car is value is what you are prepared to pay for it.

got no idea about the dvd or dvd rom

only had a 5min look as i was walking past... and snapped some photos and chatted to the guy that owns it.....

so i dont have anymore pics but from what i can remember it was pretty tidy inside... Deff no tears or anything like that.

whats the deal with dvd or dvd rom... the owner just pointed to the dash and fliped something up on the passenger side and said thats the dvd player

and then tapped the screen and it popped out of the center dash area.

Was the DVD "player" black with only an eject button by any chance?

If so, I would say that it is the DVD ROM which is what the jdm GPS disc is put in.

It CANNOT play DVD's.

The only way to play DVD's on the pop-up screen is to have an aftermarket DVD PLAYER installed.

Cloth trim? It is comfortable.

Sounds like a base model RS with Sat Nav, a mix-and-match body kit and a set of rims.

Ill have to take a closer look...

I am pretty sure it was a big bulky after market dvd player.

Yeh Cloth... not sure about the comfort....

I love the front end... not a fan of the rest of the kit. or the wheels... or the auto... but hey that can all be changed, right?

p.s. is there any way of changing the title of this thread...?

Pics of DVD player.

Cloth trim is more supportive than leather in M35's.

5-speed Auto is better than you think... and cannot really be changed (with reasonable $$$$ outlay) - AWD Manual Nissan using the VQ25/35 engine... hmmm...

Only M35 manual is the Autech 350S which is RWD VQ35DE.

Drive it.

If you like it.

Buy it.

Then do lots of reading of this forum

will do

thanks for your help

Maybe some of the M35 owner's from QLD know this car? They might be able to give you some more information.

Also, if you get the VIN # and post it here some nice person will run a Nissan FAST for you and provide some basic production information about the vehicle i.e. what factory options were fitted when produced etc.

Looks good, no sun roofs tho!! they are pimping

I'm with Cam on the bodykit, seems like a real dodgy fit on the sides and back but if the rest is in great condition @ 18k you can always watch out for a nice kit on Import Monster and jazz her up

.... elvis has left the building... (yeah, I'm on caffeine overdose atm )

[zei20l]

if he is asking 18k, then you can knock a few k off the price

looks good! nice in white, the kit isnt THAT bad IMO.......

[Chris Rogers]

where was this car. I have seen a simlar one to it running around northside.

[zei20l]

ohh the difference between RS FOUR and RS FOUR V is the V model has hicas. thats the 4 wheel steering system from nissan if you didnt know.

[jpave]

thanks guys,,,,

yeh ill check it out tomorrow and get the vin number and take it for a drive.

The car is on the gold coast.

Looks good, no sun roofs tho!! they are pimping

lol i know i wanted sun roofs...

thanks for filling me in on the diff between RS FOUR and RSFOUR V zei20l

ohh the difference between RS FOUR and RS FOUR V is the V model has hicas. thats the 4 wheel steering system from nissan if you didnt know.

are you sure about that? in the older stageas (s1 & s2) most of the models (including my last stagea) were RS4V but they definitely didn't have 4WS.

I was sure my M35 was a 'V' as well (I could be wrong) - and it doesn't have 4WS.

[zei20l]

i actually thought the 'V' specified hicas (and possibly LSD in the rear) but who knows what comes out of japan anymore lol

did you FAST your car?? thats probably the best way of finding out

[BensDR30]

The V in the C34 series had 16" wheels and a couple of other appointments standard (like the auto-lights) there is nothing in the drive train different however.

[zei20l]

well, then im wrong

however, i know ALL ARXs have hicas, RX dont ever have hicas, RS models its an option, and i have no idea about AXIS models, but probably not.......

[Bis-e Bee]

I'm certain mine is on FAST as a RS-FourV and it doesn't have HICAS

[Paramour]

well, then im wrong

however, i know ALL ARXs have hicas, RX dont ever have hicas, RS models its an option, and i have no idea about AXIS models, but probably not.......

Well my AXIS . does not have HICAS
