im contemplating buying a townhouse as an investment property, and it looks as though the stagea may have to go if i am to attain the loan i want. Im still fighting myself as to whether to sell it or not but I figure I might aswell find out what its worth.

1998 Nissan Stagea 25t rs four “s” MANUAL

Performance Mods: Split Dump/Front Pipe, CATCO High Flow Cat, Blitz NUR Spec Cat Back, Front Mount Intercooler, K&N Panel Filter, Apexi Power FC (with "Secret Squirrel Tweak"), Walbro Fuel Pump, Cushion Button Clutch, GFB Stealth FX BOV.

Tune: Unique Autosports

Power: 200.9kw At The Wheels

Work Meister S2R 18”x9” wheels with kuhmo ecsta tyres with good tread.

RHINO RAv2 car alarm with 3 point immobiliser.

plus it has a pioneer mp3 cd player, two 12" fusion powerplant subs and an 800W RMS monoblock amp, stereo puts out 136.8 dB.

i have just ordered a cushion button clutch from Unique Autosports, which retails for $1150. which will be fitted before it is sold.

The car is also getting resprayed in the very near future through insurance, as it was sprayed with rocks, at which time the nismo sideskirts will be fitted.

It has 119,000 km on the clock runs motul engine oil and redline gearbox oil, it purrs like a kitten.

I would also be interested in a trade plus cash adjustment for a car worth between $2000 and $5000 that is reliable and good on fuel.

It would be a regrettable sale if I do sell it but I have enjoyed every moment of ownership with the stagea.

Andy you are an idiot!

No offence,

I know what you are going through, i want to buy a house at the end of next year so unless i really save hard it wont happen but i refuse to sell the stag.

As i know how much i regret getting rid of the onevia, so i wont do it a second time

Hi Andy,

As an avid price watcher I know that you will get burned badly on the mods (ask Jay) anything you can take off or out of the car and return it to stock the better off you will be. Sell the parts off at a reasonable loss which will be much better than including them with the car.

Leave the PFC in there though, I would want that and see the value in paying for that as it adds so much to the car. Consider what you could remove and sell and what you don't mind leaving on it them ask yourself how much you need to get for it. It is a rare gem to be sure but still a little obscure at the same time narrowing the market a little.

I might be way off and someone might jump on you with 30 large but then again R33 GTR's seem to be a dime a dozen at 25k...

Just my thoughts.

Cheers

Luke

Andy, I think that Simon is right, $21,000. Nobody pays for mods. Why respray it. It's just more money down the drain. Better sell it for a little less and let someone else spray it. What about taking a cheap Stag on it, then at least you'll still have one, might be able to use your mods and free up a few grand all at the same time.

Confucius say

NEVER sell a Stagea to buy a house.

Sell the house to buy a Stagea.

Confucius should have said "Sell Stagea, don't buy house buy business, business will buy you house and another Stagea"

I'd say it is worth at least $20k, which is what I think mine is about worth, but I need to sell mine for the same reason you are looking at selling yours, but I need to cover the loan, and at the moment that payout figure is what I need to sell it for, so I really doubt it will sell quickly.

But honestly folks, how many Manuals are there in the country?

Yeah sounds about right. I hope to find a buyer ~$25k mark and hopefully by the $20k mark, but it'll only get there when I make repayments, but good luck with the sale, I still have a good 11mths till I will be really looking for a buyer, so no rush for me :laugh:

I think the crystal would bring in the punters if there is a photo with any ad, but make sure the paint is matchable and repairable (re touch ups) or it will lose its appeal pretty quickly

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      Thanks for the info GTSBoy, legend. If there is no downside i'll likely just get the larger bosch units because why not... I remember hearing stories about people washing their bores with fitment of too large injectors way back when, which i guess has made me shy about it now. But happy to know it shouldn't be an issue. Ozdavroz, the little rb20 is a lot of fun- now that i have a little extra funds and time i am very glad to be tampering with the ol girl again, after so long. More RB20's on the road the better. Cheers, Rowdy

      ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy
