Lo all ...

possibly thinking of getting a stagea in the comming months, need a car with more boot space and passenger space, the r33 just cant cut it ....

anyway, i cant stand autos, just somthing personal to me, so would be looking for a manual version, i know they are limited, or manual conversion ...

so, the questions is how much should i be looking to pay for a '97 (ish) rs4 v manual V a manual conversion ...

thanks for any input ...

97 Stageas (series 1) didnt come with the option of a manual transmission - straight auto only - so conversion is your only go there - check the manual conversion stickied thread for info on that.

However for a Series 2 (10/98 onwards) tiptronic Stagea your looking at mid 20 thou to 30 thou depending on years and kms and condition. A manual series 2 seems from auction prices to have about a $3-4000 premium on tiptronics - if you can find one that is.

Hi

Not trying to be picky but I am looking at exactly the same thing.... From the research I have done I thought that the Stagea RS4 'V' spec was an auto and the Stagea RS4 'S' Spec was the manual???

Brazen was nice enough to give me a ride in his stagea and I loved it.... Almost exactly what I want.... if it was manual it would have been my perfect car :)

Yep - as my post said - series 2 has a manual option, but not series 1... if dollars is a factor - then the cheapest way into a manual stag is definitely a series 1 with a manual conversion - coz you not only save the $3000 premium over the tiptronics that appears on manual series 2's, but about $5-$7000 on the difference between a series 1 and a 98 series 2 auto...

The real price difference is, for instance (car yard prices):

Series 2 RS Four S (manual) = $32,000 (or thereabouts)

Series 1 ($20,000) + conversion = $23,000

So yeah - even cheaper if you import yourself - saw on geoff risbeys emails this week a Sereis 1 Stag for $16,000 landed and complied!

But if no ultra-strict budget - then find a sereis 2 manual and go for it! I actually want tiptronic so was no drama for me - and if you've got moderate $ then i cant recommend the Neo6 series 2 enough - love mine!! :)

:P

yeah, would be taking the gtst back to stock as much as poss for the sale .... i have pretty much all teh stock parts laying around ....

still making my mind up about one at teh moment ... trying to persuade the wife to get a 4x4, which i think she has made her mind up to get one now, if she gets one, then will have no need to swap mine for a more sensible shaped car ... woohoo

just that my wife is pretty short, and i have visions of her looking like a pea in a whistle driving a huge land cruiser or similar ...

(chuckles)

thanks for the offer SK, will let you know !

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
