Possibly Popping My Jap Car Cherry With A Stagea

[Run-It-Hard]

the world is flat though...

I'd be walking away from that mate, looks like it was from a snowy area in Japan.

Also, that grille is a "dolphin aeroform" piece.

There is really good info already up the top in the stickies, I found it wonderful source of info when going through the purchase process.

linky

and it's correct.

Chris. You are very very wrong. Rs4s is a factory built car. You may aswell try telling people the world is flat.

That's what I said, the rs4s is the only model that was manual and it was RWD, the op said this car is a manual with AWD so it's been converted is what I'm saying

[Dingus]

I thought RS4S was AWD & Manual? Wikipedia says so too.

[lilcrash]

Rs4s is a manual 4wd. I have one. Many people have them. Chris once again you are very wrong. It's RS4S because its an RS 4WD MANUAL it's that same as RS4V is an RS 4WD AUTOMATIC

The 4 stands for 4wd the same as a gts4 is a 4wd skyline

Chris, you are wrong - there were no factory 5-speed manual series 1 Stageas except the 260RS, and the only series 2 Stageas with factory 5-speed manuals were the 260RS and the RS Four S (with the "Four" referring to the fact it was AWD, not RWD only).

[GoldZilla]

Turns out is has 1 reverse light, the other thing has a red cover over it though, so... not a fog light?

The fact that it has one reverse light and 1 (red) fog light means it was a car optioned with the Snow pack, and hence due to driving on salted roads is much more likely to have rust if it wasn't treated well, as others have pointed out.

I, too, would walk away from this car. There are many well-loved cars available here from SAU forum members that will bring some added value to your purchase.

Also, check out this thread for plenty of info that should help: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/92065-buyers-guide-the-nissan-c34-stagea/

Well I stand corrected, ive always been under the impression the s models were the only RWD model, no need to be a smart arse or people won't ask questions in the future

[Captain Kermit]

Quick update, I walked away. The rust, door leaks and the water feature in the spare wheel well were enough to turn me off. Going to try and find one on here or import my own.

I only made it a smart ass angry comment because you tried to say it a second time after you were corrected.
