Do you guys think my car is priced fairly?

yeah for sure, i think the market for cars at the moment is pretty slow so you might not get a lot of bites. but with the mods you've done, anyone that knows abit about modifications would see that the price your asking is fair. the way i would weight it up is, i could buy a stock one for cheaper, then spend a lot of money and time to do all the mods you have listed, or just buy one with it all already done. sure its the more expensive car to buy, but to go out and purchase and install all those mods it would add up to be much more than the difference in sale prices.

33 GTR!

Have you seen the price of a nice late model one? even harder to find in purple :)

That modded 32 had rusty chassis rails from snow/salt :(

seems easier to find a good 94 32 than a good late model 33(at a realistic price)

Might be moving to a bigger place which will set back the car buying a couple of months(unless the stagea sells, then i can buy without a loan), but will get me a puppy and a garage, which means i can do my own work on cars again!

Hey mate. I've looked at your sale thread a few times now and while it is at the pricey end for the series, I've never thought "geez, this guys nuts if he thinks he's gonna get that for it" and I don't think other people have though that either.

I've been looking for a stag for weeks now so I've been trawling the for sale places constantly. Most series 1's for sale that I've seen are around $10 - $13k but you have done a lot of mods to yours. Does that make it worth the asking price? Probably. I dunno because I'm no expert on cars, but like QWK32 said, someone could buy themselves a cheaper stock one for say $10k and then spend a fortune on parts and labour to get it to the same standard as yours. Whiteline parts are the shit so you've not done anything cheaply but unfortunately people just don't have the money right now.

I would buy it but I'm after a series 2 (sorry).

Hi ryan,

Yeah I looked when you put your stag up for sale and had a squiz at price and mods ect.... Its a well modded car but the mods dont hold value much at all. What you would be asking is more if it was completely stock and then body condition. Seeing as its not leather ect id be re considering to. For sure if someone is after a modded car and knows about what parts are good ect sure they will snap yours up.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
