FTO AUSTRALIA

Mate of mine is selling a 97 Stagea RS260... this ones going for $45k
Has got an R34 front end & brembos on it...

Did this Stage start off as 260RS, or a conversion?? Because i know the 260RS don't come with sunroof, let alone due sunroof & i haven't seen any other colour other then white either. From the pictures angle, I can't see the Brembo either....

But this is one of the nicest Stage i've seen, you got any pic of the interior? How soon does your mate want to sell it??

Unsure about the history of the car, but there's more info on his website: http://www.envyimports.com.au/
Im sure he'd be willing to sell it any anytime. I know he's got heaps of stock that he's trying to move, skylines & the like. If your more that just interested I can PM you his mobile number - just say you've been speaking to Bennoz & you might get a discount! We are old mates / drinking buddies, he brought my FTO in for me.

There's a local guy around here with a standard Stagea who's is the same colour. It also has the dual sunroof.


But daaaaamn that is one hot car.

And there's something very sinister about the term "Godzilla Wagon"

And they look damned good with the R34 front conversion...

Unfortunately no. The VR4 wagon he's got was done as a personal import. The sedan aint easy to do apparently.

Thats actually the first pictures I've ever seen of a VR-M - its a facelift one as well. And I would say that the Poms do get them (as imports no doubt) as that car has British number plates

Hehehehe this is where you got it wrong, those pictures was taken in HK, (notice all wording at the background is chinese, & if you look carefully, you can read one of the sign said Hong Kong) & its got a HK number plate. Which is pretty much similar to UK though heehehe

* looks at the background more closely *

Hmm it would seem you are right - I guess it makes sence that they would have similar plates given the history of HK...

The little Chinese village hanging from the rear veiw mirror is always a give away hehehehe

You see enough of those around here!

I probably would have realised about the plates if I'd seen more of Hong Kong than just the inside of the airport terminal! Although that is very impressive too

Anyway back on topic ...

Haha.. those poms have rubbed off on us... we're becoming post whores.... Ewwww

Found a R34 25GT-T Tiptronic Neo Turbo, anyone know what a "Neo" turbo is ??

It's just an updated version of the R33 RB25DET, it was design to met the new regulation of emission control, & it use T28BB instead of T28 turbo (R33), so it spoon up faster, with the updated ECU, it give almost the same torque output as the R33 GTR.

In plan english, it’s just a marketing tools as most R33 owner would have done similar upgrade anyway

If I remember rightly, they make 206kw as well - up from the 190 odd of the earlier R34 GT-Ts. Well at least the ones sold new here did...

Or then again that might just be the manual ones.

You guys are a wealth of information!!
