I am putting my much loved 1997 Nissan Stagea up for sale.

- 159xxx Kms

- Full Nismo Body Kit. Professionally fitted and painted by DMD May this year.

- Apexi SAFC and SITC piggy back controllers

- Front Mount Intercooler

- K&N Pod Filter

- Full 3" Turbo back exhaust with H/F cat and rear cannon

- Twin Sunroofs and Automatic closing rear hatch and Auto headlights

- Whitline Rear cradle bushes and front camber kits

- Sard blow off valve and turbotech boost controller set to 11psi (has never been boosted past this)

- Driver and passenger airbags

- Viper alarm system with remote pager, remote start, microwave sensors etc etc....

- Has also had timming belt and waterpump changed in May this year by Mercury Motorsport. Was also dyno tuned there at the same time.

- Plus more that I have probably forgotton....

Now there are a couple of things that need to be fixed but they aren't major problems. First the windscreen is cracked (not too bad but does need to be replaced) and also the front C.V boots are split and need to be replaced and possibly the front outter C.V joints as well but am not sure. I had Mercury look over the whole car when it got the belt replaced and tune done and the only things they could find were the Split C.V boots and a small leak from the valve cover gasket. Also on the very odd occasion on hard acceleration there is a small break down from the coil packs (this is a comming RB motor problem) but I haven't fixed that yet as most of the time it doesn't happen and it didn't even show up when the car was on the dyno but at some stage they will need to be replaced I guess. Other than these things the car is in great shape and drives great and looks great.

The car is registered till 5th Oct this year but I'm selling the car unregistered but will only really need the windscreen and C.V boots (and maybe joints) replaced to pass. And other than the coil packs I can't see any where else that money needs to be spent. A nice set of wheels would really set it off though.

I'm only selling the car as I have new plans in my life now and just don't want to spend further money on the car as its only getting driven mainly on weekends if that now and have bigger priorities now.

Asking price is offeres around the $13000 mark. And I will post some pics of the interior and the windscreen crack up when I can grab my g/f's camera. Please note also that I'm not selling it with the stero (and don't have the factory one to replace it with) however I will leave the pioneer 6" splits and jaycar 6" co-axils in the front and rear doors with the tweeter in the facotry locations. They are bother the yellow kevlar type.

In the pics ignore the tape on the wing as I just got the car back from DMD and I had to leave it like that for an extra 24 hours.

Either PM here or message me on my mobile 0422 583 180

ALSO ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS NEED CONTACT ME AND NO SWAP OFFERS PLEASE!!!

Thanks guys.

Josh.

No sorry will not seperate any bits from the car.

**somethings I left out of the origional post***

I forgot to mention it in the first post but I'm in Brisbane too. And although I really don't want to settle for much less than $13000 I will "consider" offers over $12000 but no less. I would estimate about an extra $1000 - $1500 tops would cover the windscreen, C.V's and a set of splitfire coils (even though it rarley shows signs of the stock ones breaking up) which would leave you with a beautiful stagea for $14ish K. Also have just put new rear tyres on with the fronts still having a bit of life left in them yet.

***Update***

I will let it go AS IS for $12000 FIRM or if you wish I can get the things fixed up (listed above) with a RWC and then it will be $13800 FIRM but will require a deposit on the car for the later option.

I would really like to sell asap but don't bother offering less than what I've posted as that really is cheap enough as it is.

Bump

As said above $12000 as is or $13,800 with the listed items fixed RWC and 6 months rego. FIRM on both prices. Pics don't do it justice, don't be scared off by the couple of things that need fixing, this is a beautiful car and is in great condition for a 10yo car and just because its modded doesn't mean its been thrashed. Also cash sale only no swaps.

Bump, I really need to sell this but am still firm on the prices. $12,000 as is or $13800 (new windscreen, coilpacks, C.V's and valvecover gasket) plus RWC and 6 months rego. Either option is a great price.

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
