Buyer's Guide - The Nissan C34 Stagea

[66yostagea]

I would see 2wd as a big downside - compensated in part if it were a manual. Some RS models have no turbo.

I thought RS means "Turbo", the 4(FOUR) means 4WD. I have an RSFOUR and a 25G which is RWD,N/A, auto.

Another thing different between the 4WD and RWD is the front suspension. There is less offset on the 25G so I needed spacers to fit the 17X8s.It came with 17X7s.

Has anyone got a definitive resource for S1 Dayz options? Ours has the dayz kit and badging so I presume genuine. Interior plastics grey/black, cloth, twin roofs, auto tailgate, LSD, nismo 'red' shocks/springs, nismo 2.5" cat back exhaust, wiper heaters, grille is chrome slat type. Interested to know what is likely optioned from new vs accumulated over time. It has s2 rear lights but I'm presuming they were fitted by the owner.

Hi all,

This is my first post on this forum! My N15 SSS Pulsar was recently stolen, and I've almost decided to get a C34s2 RS-four S as my next car

I have my eyes on these two Stags atm: Modified and Unmodified

I was wondering how the prices of these two examples rate? Are they about right or a bit on the expensive side?

The VIN of the 2nd example is: 6U900WGNC34138456 - if someone could run it through FAST, i'd be much appreciative.

Cheers!

IMO go for the slightly more expensive one, i saw that particular one come up a couple months after i bought mine and thought dam, though it used to be advertised at $15,000 so ask the seller bout that. u will end up wanting to do alot of those mods anyway after a couple months of owning it.

*Edit - and the dayz bodykits look alot better then the standard one plus those second front fog lights are pretty rare

Cheers mate. Yes you're right about the mods - I would definitely want to make some changes to the stock car.

They seem like some nice, quality mods on the more expensive one!

Hi All,

Looking for some help with finding a good manual Stag, problem is I live in WA and everything for sale is not.

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/results.aspx?No=0&Qpb=1&Cr=12&Ns=pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|0||pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&sid=12FFA3A669BA&SearchAction=N&silo=1011&seot=1&Nne=15&N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294960181%204294963846%201622&trecs=18

Can anyone help me with acting as a sort of buyers agent?

Need someone who is going to be picky to give me honest feedback and has potentially owned one so they know what they should feel like and also what to look for..

Are any of the ones up for sale members?

I am tempted by the dealer option in SA....

Thanks.

Shane.

Have a look in the Classifieds section here and narrow your options down by doing a search with "Stagea" as your tag. There are always a few for sale here, and a majority are cars that are well-loved and cared for.

more expensive one.. i did when i bought mine and glad i did.. the one i got had about 10k worth of mods and was about 3k more than a stock one so to me it made sense to do that rather than forking out another 7k to do the mods yourself.

That's what I figured - drove it home from Melbourne yesterday and went on the Adelaide Stagea cruise today!

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how common surface rust is in sills?

I am trying to buy a manual stag from over east ( I am in perth) and two cars i have got independent inspectors to have a look have found some surface rust in sills or boot floor.

First one was worse than the second, though the second had been black duluxed underneath.

The first had pretty bad bonus rust in the chassis side wall behind the strut top near the abs module... straightened out front hit?

I am guessing these are snow region cars.

How common are steering rack leaks?

Should I:

A) Wait, consider my inspection fees as gone to experience (still cheaper than flights) and try to wait for a clean one to come up

B) Use it as a tool for haggling, and deal with it by not looking too hard underneath.

I am mainly looking at dealer cars as I figure organising transport etc might be easier.

Anyone selling an RS4S in Perth?

[pipster11]

get a straight one

or buy mine

they will nearly all have rust under the wing mirrors, but rust elsewhere isn't too common (unless its a cold pack car)

it would probably be worth importing one yourself if you can't find what you want locally, then you can specify stuff like sunroofs, dayz options, jap wheels, mods etc and save yourself quite a bit!

but your doing the right thing with the inspections be cause buying a lemon could potentially cost your $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sorry champ but your in tasmania...

Thats a boat, truck then train....

have you just been looking at dealers or private?

because there are heaps for sale privately and they are so cheap now

[lilcrash]

Il sell you mine if you want, just finishing the turbo upgrade now. Should be tuned in 2 weeks 250awkw ish. But I do want $20000 for it. That's the only down side.

[shane344]

Thanks for trying to sell me you cars from states even further away...

Ended up sticking with dealers.

I hope it goes on the truck tomorrow and is in WA by Friday but I think i will be lucky....

Better not be rooted....

[shane344]

Its on its way.....

Hope it lives up to expectations...

That one has been for sale for ages! It was available when I got mine 3 months ago (to the day).

Over priced for what it is. For that money you could get nicer, with some mods and dayz options. Check out Robbie's car in the classifieds.

[bigkevracer]

Only difference is Robbie's is auto, but it is tiptronic.

Really, Robbie wants $15500 for his, and it's a great car, great colour. Surely for the $1500 difference you could do a manual conversion if you needed a manual?

For $17k you are starting to look at clean, standard M35s, or maybe even a 260?
