Being a Delica owner I love the imports and am wanting to get a Stagea as our 2nd car.

I looked at a white 98 RS4 last week at Cannington Auto and was wondering if anyone has seen this vehicle

It has 98,000kms on it, Excellent condition IMO and drove perfect. I cannot fault it and was curious as to wether the price is on the mark for this model. they want 22,900 for it, I am thinking 20 - 21k. Does these seem reasonable for the year, kms travelled?

It is standard and only extras I found are a TV setup which I am aware wont work!!

any advice would be appreciated

I imported a 1997 S1 18 months ago, it cost $16K all up with rego, 3rd party insurance etc. It had slightly less K's and was absolutely stock standard with service books and owners manuals. Around $19K to $20K would be my guess for a S2, depending on options. It will need the usual Nissan 100K service very soon and that's a ~$1K job, so make sure you get that done before you buy it.

:blink: cheers :)

took delivery of mine 2 months ago. 97, 49,000ks, pristine condition - i was a panel beater so i could see where some minor repairs were done, but aside from that - like a new car, inside outside, and engine.

cost me 16,500 registered and driving.

I admit it does look good however price tag is a lot better too

White is advertised at 23K black advertised at 27K. same Kms travelled same year

I can see black one has single bigger exhaust however not sure if its worth the extra dollars !!

I will have a look but I am wanting a manual now, I know they are rare but I will bide my time!!

that white series 2 i seen today for 21K at the autowholesale yard (plus they drop prices heaps with some bargaining :) )

black one is still there and its only downfall is no sunroofs, but 26k i think it was aint bad. (i reckon u could get it for 24K)

it was factory recaro seats, lowered, rims, black, i'd buy it haha

I still think if 21K is too much for the white one then 24 is too much for the black....?

i am currently looking at the black one as well at auto wholesaler..i seem to think that yes well over priced but with some bargaining can get the price down..it at least it has some extras....you think the black one is over priced did you look at the yellow and the red one??? being a girl and all not knowing too much....do you guys agree no more than 23 for the blackie??? :)

i reckon when they are asking 29-30K for a 1990 gtr (more than likely stuffed and ready for rebuild) then 23-24K for a 99-00 model stagea with neo rb25/auto is not too bad.

i garantee if the black one was for sale and a white one in the paper, 99.9% of people would go for the black one for the simple reason it looks mad :(

resale will be easy as, because people are chasing the rare colours.

silver is just getting done to death on skylines and stageas :lol:

i don't think car colour should play a part in the price of the car. and in my opinion black is a worse colour to have in aus, what with the sun being hot and all.

my r33 was black.. and i swear its no different from my red stagea........ leave out under the sun for a day.. and its much of the sameness.... HOT

the 18deg on the climate control is my biggest problem.. its not cold enough!!

black is horn thats for sure!

difference between black and white is that black is boiling hot 5 min before white is. and you notice every single little bump and dent and ripple when it is waxed.

ring him up. tell him he's dreamin.

the white one is very well priced, and the balck one is niiiice and more reasonably priced for a series 2. I think the guys talking about their 19k pricepoints arent talking series 2 matey - so dont confuse the poor guy fellas (unless im wrong and they arent series 1s).

But I'll give you my yellow Series 2 for around the dollars of the white one - and u get it already with a $750 alarm, 18" wheels and only 63,000kms with log books - and no salesman margins.

Call me for a drive - 0417 097 178 - more than happy to negotiate on price til you're happy.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
