Well after having the Stagea for nearly 2 years and building it the way I wanted it, I have decided I have lost interest in it. I have only driven it 3-4 weeks in 2 years. Apart from painting the front end, which will be done before it goes on sale, I have done all that I have wanted to do to it.

When I first imported the car, it was basically a stock silver series 2 auto RS4 with the only mods being a body kit.

Since then the current mods totalling over $25K in parts alone include R34 GTR front end, R34 GTR wheels, r34 GTT front & rear brakes, Tein coilovers, Apexi ax53b70 p25 BB turbo, Power Fc, Tomie type B poncams, Blitz 525cc inj, Spitfire coils, Z32, FMIC, full exhaust, Biltz EBC, R34 gtr pump, manual gearbox change, nismo short shifter, Momo factory airbag s/wheel, Garage Impul fronts seats, matching series 2 manual rear seat and door trims, nismo clear front and rear indicators, autech rear wing, ganador door mirrors, ARC titanium cooling panel plus a few other bits.

The chances of selling the car once painted with all the current bits on it for what it should be worth would be highly unlikely, so I will be stripping some parts that are possible to reduce the costs. Most likely will be turbo, power fc, ebc, inj, z32, seats and s/wheel, mirrors, brakes and possibily the r34 wheels.

I will need some factory parts in exhange like r34 turbo, s/wheel(non tiptronic), series 2 F & R brakes, after market 17-18 wheels

If you are interested in the car or parts PM me your EOI. Once the parts are removed and car is painted then it will be for sale.

how much would u expect for a sale price?. at a guess 25k maybe 30

To sell it as is but painted and finished I would want $30k which is autech territory, but it would still cost you at least another $20K to get the same mods on a stock autech but you would have a rb26.

If I remove mainly engine performance parts and sell the car with manual g/box, r34 gtr front, r34 gtr wheels, suspension, exhaust, body kit and stock interior for approx low $20's which what a stock series 2 manual sells for. The r34 front end alone cost $6.5k painted.

Its a single turbo conversion? which means you couldnt relly swap it out for my stock 260RS item....?

If i had the cash i would gladly swap you my 260RS front end for your 34GTR front with the dollars your way a lil.

How much for the EBC?

I have an apexi FC, and planned mods are filter, exhaust, boost controller and FMIC, so if you have any of those (or anything that youd recommend to run as supporting mods) up for sale, let me know what you are after. Thanks.

very sad to hear mate but i think i wont be far behind you! :blink:

goodluck with it all buddy

Damn Brycey... you only just finished putting together your yellow machine... why you bailing so soon?

Seems like a lot of people are selling up recently. I started working in the city and am barely driving mine anymore as I catch the train in and its something I am contemplating as well :P

    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
