Your car is hot - definately should not sell it.

THe property market is over. If you buy now it is just oging to cost you interest for the next 10 years and you wont make enough money on the sale to cover it. A lot of people think they have to buy an investment property after watching the property market increase for the last 5 years. If you can remember back to the 90's the property market increased by about 15% over 10 years. My parents had a rental property for 8 years and sold if for $5k less than they bought it for! Dont get caught up in the hype as prices cannot rise indefinately.

Sell the car if you want to but it will probably cost you less to own than the investment property and will be more enjoyable.

THats my $2 worth. (PS. i am selling my investment property now for the above reasons and the fact that i have made a truck load of cash!)

thats bullshit andy,i can't believe your car hasn't sold,theres people out there buying stageas for what.. maybe $12grand to $16grand imported $16 to $20 at a car yard and of course what are you going to do ......UPGRADE....you might not think about spending money at the time but we all know the bug gets you....wheels...exhaust...suspension...ecu...hiflow etc etc.

i'd recommend to anyone out there who is looking at a stagea look at this one, not that i've seen this car but if i was in the market i'd give this car a serious look.

ps i'm not on any sort of commision but if you sell it in the next day or so yeh there should be a beer in it for me,

good luck,

even stock manuals are selling for $25,000 at the car yards.

if i hadnt bought my house, there would not be a chance in hell that id be selling the stag, its mechanically flawless, looks, goes and sounds awesome, absolutely nothing to spend, and where else do you get a car that gets so many looks from everyone you drive past.

rrrrrrrrrrrg!!!

I still don't know why nobody wants this car, maybe people just want the 'excitement' of importing their own car - and that's in quotes 'cause I've done it a few times and you never know exactly what will arrive... Always worth doing if you can get it a lot cheaper/better/exactly what you want by importing, but I would of thought this car WAS what quite a few people wanted, and S's aren't that easy to get even in Japan, and by the time you paid for everything it wouldn't be much cheaper..

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
