Hi Guys,

I know this is the wrong posting place, but I am not having any luck with my car for sale. I realise that these are not particularly 'in demand' cars, but surely someone wants a nice, genuine klm stag with service records from Japan and here ??

Sensible mods have been done, and I am open to any reasonable offer. Car has to go as have 3 cars in the driveway right now !!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/19...yz-t206548.html

I would also consider converting it back to basically stock and selling even cheaper if I can get buyers for some of the add-on parts.

For example, is there any interest in the following:

1. BOS Importing 3"split dump pipe and high flow 740cfm cat from forums - $500 for both

2. Apexi SAFC Neo and SITC computers - $500 for both

3. Full set of clear lights, including front bumper, side indicatior and rear (series 2) lights - $500 for whole set.

This would allow me to sell the car even cheaper, although I think the car is worth more with the parts on it and would prefer not to chop it all up.

Please help me find a new home for my car !!!! :banana:

Stu

Hi Stu,

Im very supprised that this is still for sale... When I was looking around I will admit I was very tempted to buy it and that was a good few months ago! The main reason i steered clear of it was becuase of the boost being raised. Im was aware it was only on 11 psi ect but still worried me and not sure if its been on that its entire life.

good luck with the sale mate!

geez, i have run an aftermarket turbo on my R33 for over 7 years now with 191,000km on the clock with (obviously) higher than standard boost. compression is still good.

i think we all need to encourage new members to look at locally landed cars with plenty of fruit on them. nowadays they are almost certainly cheaper than importing once you factor in the modifications and tuning etc.

The car was stock as a rock from Japland, and even has all the Jap service stickers on it so I am very confident it was looked after over there. I have certainly looked after it here with service every 5000ks and replaced timing belt and water pump immediately on arrival. Imported it via J-Spec.

My dilemma is that I am an honest person, so I have listed all the mods on the car and where it is at. I truely believe that it is a much better car with the mods than when I got it. It has way more power, but more importantly more driveable. It is much more economical on fuel now too (at least 3L per hundred better) and would improve even more if put back to a lower boost. If I was keeping it I would have considered a dual stage boost controller for more economy.

In hindsight I probably would have been better putting back to standard and just pretending it was a stocker, but I think for the right person, they will appreciate the effort (and money) that has gone into it.

11psi is pretty tame and certainly well within the tuning limits of the car itself. I have specifically put parts in place to support much more than this level, as I believe in 'over-engineering' things. It has been left at that level to protect the turbo, due to ceramic turbines :banana:

Putting that aside, in the end though, I just want someone to please buy my car !!

sad to say..... S2 '99 30thou less kms 12k jspec

thats why it cant sell

ridiculous, but the arse has fallen out of the stagea market. 12k gets you a good S2.

you want a quick sale 10 would do it. surely.

but I know, its giving it away. crazy, hey

and THATS why when I bought an ex forum members car 3yrs ago I vowed itd be a 10yr owneership car.. one that had boost raised, been down the 1/4 mile, been in country for 9mnths yet done 25thou kms in that time,..... but yet was bargain of australia at that particular time. Dayz kit 76thou pod/exhaust/boost 17900 new tyres, everything else was 20k plus.

now prices are 12k for S2 and 10k for S1, plus compliance on road costs (say 12 / 15k on road for S1 / S2 landed from japan)

for a local it needs to be 2k less in price to be attractive.

just my view

very tasty tho for sure, try for 11k and see how you go????

I dunno, my fully worked modded Fireblade took over a year to sell. my VR V8 took 4months to sell & plenty of price drops after I got the stagea, just how it is.

Stu, I went up to the Coastie Meet @ Erina on Thursday night, and a few new people were asking me about my car. I mentioned that there was one (yours) for sale in the area, so you never know...

Correct, Fountain Plaza it is.

Hey, you (or should I say we) are driving a wagon version of a Skyline, so you have nothing to worry about. There are others there in different cars anyway...

Don't forget Fountain Plaza tonight, Stu!

And yeah, expressing interest in the lights (front and rear) - do you have a ball-park sales figure in mind?

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
