hey all, just noticed there was a stagea classifieds sub forum so thought i'd do away with my post in the forum wide classified section and try here to get an actual response. basically after a c34 stagea and nothing is really sparking interest in SA at the moment.

looking at a white s2 with a dayz bodykit on it in good cond, and normal mods (exhaust and intercooler). normal wear for 12-15 year old car is fine.

i've got $10k to spend, and am willing to look into anyone that has one in vic too.

probably pushing my luck, but something with sunroof would be pretty good.

Paid $12,500 for my bog stock series2 awd.. was very poorly converted to manual by a dodgy previous owner.... within 2 weeks turbo blew and gearbox died. Spent quite a bit making my car "normal"... you need more than 10k especially if you want luxury (sunroof)

Im assuming you didn't get it inspected, if all those things went wrong so soon after the purchase they would have been viable to a mechanic.

unfortunately my ex said it was a decent car after looking at it... I needed a wagon pretty badly for my dog so I trusted his judgement. in hindsight I should have gotten it inspected, but that was my bad and slowly my partner is fixing all the dodgy stuff my ex and previous owner did. aka backyard mechanics who know nothing...

off topic, sorry mate.

have a look on gumtree, there's actually some available for the price your wanting to pay in Adelaide.

you'll find one for 10..lol, its just a waiting game..they may be advertised for more..but trust me they don't sell for that...seen plenty

with leather/sunroofs go for 10 after being for sale for 15, then mid 12's for 6 month at a time

I imported my s.2 , 4wd full dayz kitted, leather, heated seats, double sunroof, lowered and exhaust, cost me $10,500 registered and complied...its mint. I imported it because i coudn't find a white one, heaps of black and silver ones though

your car was pretty modified before it was put back to stock to sell, not suprised you had problems with it...

hopefully. i've had two lined up, one in vic which sold the next day after i rang the guy, and another in SA. both albeit without sunroof, but with everything else i was after. just have to play the waiting game or maybe even look at importing one

Buy mine.

i actually sent you a txt a while back and forgot to get back to you. you mentioned it had a few touchups on the paint and a dent. any more details on those? ta

  • 4 weeks later...

thanks guys, found and bought a silver one locally. 98 dayz rs4s manual, coilovers, turbo back exhaust with screamer, sunroofs, pretty much perfect condition paint and body wise and mechanically it runs perfectly too (has had its timing belt done and serviced regularly). got it for a little under $10k with 3 months rego too :) now the fun of buying mods for it begins...

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
