Gotta be quick mate

It's gone mate. Sold.

Thanks mate!

Deposit has been placed by a fellow SAU member and inspection has been done by Stateroads. Buyer is scheduled to be picking up the car tomorrow night. Will update the thread if there's any last minute fall-throughs. Thanks.

If you know me across other automotive forums (Mitsubishi Club Australia, OZVR4, JZX100.COM, 3si.org etc. etc.), you'll see that i sell most of my cars within the first 6 months for prices way below the market value (for quick sale reasons). I'm on a mission to try out as many performance cars as i can before i buy a house in three years time I've also chose to let the Stagea go for now as I have three vehicles at the moment and i don't require the use of a wagon at this stage. But i may consider buying another M35 Stagea earlier next year (Autech Axis model). Either that, or a 260RS. We'll just have to see.

Quite firm on the price mate. I turned one offer down of $11,700. $12,250 is the absolute lowest i would go as this is already a massive bargain (i actually purchased the car for $16,000 in July this year and i still have the receipt somewhere). So anything lower than $12,250 would be an insult. A deposit has been taken so far by a fellow SAU member. Just awaiting him to complete check and inspections and if he's happy he'll pick it up next weekend. If the sale falls through, i will update the thread In regards to the CD stacker, I have another CD stacker unit that i will supply with the vehicle as part of the sale. M35 CD Stacker units can be found on Yahoo auctions for around $400AUD delivered via EMS to your door. Alternatively you can play MP3's, videos, music videos etc. via the USB port in the car.

The vehicle is factory standard and unmolested. Body would be an Auction grade 4. No dents or blemishes and all clear coat is in tact. Full NSW registration until January 6th 2011.

Thanks for the free plug Yep, certainly is cheap. Without any nasty surprises either.

Hello. There is not much difference from the Autech and the standard model besides the body kit. I've had the vehicle since July this year. There has been no issues apart from a small leak from the manifold but this was rectified by replacing the gasket. The TV is a modified original. It uses the Hawk 3 kit and was installed by Andy, one of the SAU Stagea experts on here. The unit is superb. Feel free to fly up and inspect the car. It's very reliable and will not let you down on the drive home

I'm selling one of my cars to make way to purchase my next Stagea. 69,900 genuine kilometres - 2002 M35 Nissan Stagea 250T RX Four AWD V6 Neo Turbo Autech Aero Selection with digital Australian TV (which never fails to impress passengers). 206kw, 407nm of torque, Autech Aero Selection model.

SMS me on 0432 0400 10 for more details and to arrange inspection. Vehicle is located in North Strathfield, New South Wales.

Same here. Phew Because if it was the transmission, i would've been cooked as i'm in the process of trying to sell my Stagea at the moment to upgrade to an Autech Axis!

Found out what the problem was. Low on transmission fluid. Did a proper check by leaving the car running and cycling through the gears then checking the fluid. Topped it up to just under "Full" mark and the gears are changing much smoother now without any slipping Sweet.

Hey fellas, I have recently felt my transmission "slip" when i'm slowly taking off from a stand still. It's only happened two times in the last 7 days worth of driving. Nothing too major, but there was an instance where the revs increased and the car didn't really go anywhere for a second and then it "latched on" and off it went. I've noticed that once the car had been for a good drive, the problem became non existant. Just in case it decides to let go, what are my best options? Buy a second hand transmission from Yahoo? Or can it be rebuilt? Any info would be greatly appreciated Dimi

Thanks Andy Appreciate the links.

Hey fellas, My CD player died (CD Error FO) and i'm not really wanting to continue on with the 6 CD changer. I'm looking at the more simple double din option now. Any one know if there's a facia or kit available to convert to double din?

Yup, there's an Autech badge on the tailgate. How did you know? Is it common practice in Japan to put the Autech badges on or something?

Sweet. I just found one in Japan. Bidded on it. Hope i win. Total estimate is $544 delivered to my door (and it's in my colour too) WOOOT Back in business. http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=h...5%20front%20bar

Hey Andy, how are you mate. I actually told the workshop that the front bar was incorrect, but they stood their ground and claimed they had troubles sourcing the Autech front bar and claimed it was "not being produced" anymore. Should i ring my insurer and tell them the front bumper bar was incorrect and demand for a replacement Autech one anyway? Damn, here's one on Yahoo So tempted to just buy it and get it EMS'd. Estimate is $655 delivered to my door. http://www.importmonster.com.au/view.php?u...tion/x140047118

I had the Autech Aero Selection bar likes yours (and mine in my avatar) but they replaced it with the standard front bar. Shit, so i have to get the new headlights, grille and bonnet? Farkkk It's simply not just a case of the new front bar fitting with the existing headlights and bonnet, is it?

Guys, just got my car back from the repairer and they've replaced my front bar with the older 2001 style one I've come across a later model front bar off a 2006 Stagea (pictured below). I'd like to know if it would be compatible with my 2002 Stagea without having to change anything around?

Price? I'm actually looking into an Evo VII GT-A but if the price is right, i may look into a GSR.

Spotted Andy on Silverwater Road yesterday. Your car was recognisable from a mile away.

Even though the 3.5 N/A's aren't as fast as the 2.5 turbos (correct me if i'm wrong guys), but a 3.5 would be much easier on maintenance. If you hate loud spooling, go the 3.5. But if you want power, 2.5 Turbo I originally would have suggested the C34 260RS, but they are starting to look their age now.

I think your Stagea looks the best out of all the other entrants on that page. Good luck mate.
