Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know my car is finally up for sale. If you know anyone looking for a cheap modded manual Stagea, point them here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/19...-M-t209261.html

I'm starting at $18,000, but if it takes too long to sell I'll start dropping it.

The car needs someone who can afford to give it some TLC, as with a new baby and looking at buying a house my funds are severly limited.

Cheers,

Leshy

Well good luck with the sale. There are so many for sale these days.

Not so many manual dual sunrooves with leather though I think.. :)

Sorry Nick, change is a sign of progress though. No doubt I'll get another stagea (M35 me thinks) in a few years, just have to get a house first and settle down.

good luck with the sale :D i actually believe it might be the icing on the cake so to speak...so many people want manuals and leather interiors so you might just be in luck :nyaanyaa: I dont think youll have a problem selling...its seems that some stageas are hanging around for ages to sell and some that have only been advertised for a few weeks or a month are getting snapped up. Strange!!

Good luck :D

Youve just gotta have what they want i guess. I think 18k is a decent asking price for what the car is. Luxury cruiser, thats been tastefully modded to handle very well and make decent power. High kms, but doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things.

On a different subject - got those taillights leshy. Cheers. Trader rating +1

Thanks mate, i try my best :D

I'll be open to offers, but as you can see, I haven't gone overboard with mods, and a lot of them are useful. the tow bar has come in handy heaps, and the manual has increased my fuel efficiency a fair bit. I'm averaging 12L/100km combined driving now. I'm sad to see her go, but i'm having trouble keeping her in a good condition. I'd rather sell now than completely wreck it before someone else can take care of it.

sad to hear :)

its VERY difficult to price stageas in today's market.

I completely understand your reasons though. Mine is also for sale due to cost reasons, they just cost a little bit more to keep on the road compared to say aussie cars.

The stagea's been a fantastic "sports" wagon to own and drive but the budget is important and I've kind of had my fun with the car and am ready to move on.

Life priorities seem to catch up with all of us hey...in one way or another.

Pretty much the reason l'm keeping mine.

Looked at getting a CRX/civic (not del-sol crx either) to drive around in while saving for a house, but with so many stagea's for sale, chances of me selling and making it worth it isn't worth the time.

I need someone to just hit my car enough to write it off ... its well and truly over-insured.

Gotta say l like the kit you have, subtle yet enough there to add a bit flair.

Think mine's gonna come off soon and just drive it stock for a while.

I sold mine for 17,000 drive away with everything. Though, I had no leather and was auto.

Although this doesnt have the suspension or wheels of mine it is manual. Big +ve for many. I think it shouldn't sell for less than 16-17.

Good luck, I understand.

Oh yeah, now I see the coilovers and all that. I had the whole SK group buy kit, but I am certain now re-reading this that they would be very on par.

I must have skipped over it as its not divided into sections (Engine/Box, Suspension, Body etc). Maybe make it like that to be a bit easier to read?

they dont sell quick

my Vr V8 ex cop 118000kms 215kw took over 6months to sell, for only 7k (wanted 11k originally)

my fully sicko CBR took over 6months as well, of proper advertising (paid) and sold for under 8k (wanted 12)

hold it and dont drop too much, no point in giving it away

advertise where you can (ebay, carpoint, etc), just that I dont think they sell quick unless they are "eagerly priced" ie 9k

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
