What Am I Worth ? ?

[Tangles]

Hey

How much am I worth?

A little about me.....

I was born in 1997, 1st of my series, as a Nissan Stagea RS V Four Station Wagon, RB25DET engine, Attessa all wheel drive, automatic

Looking beautiful in my Silky Snow Pearl paint and Dayz bodykit, with twin sunroofs I was sent off to The Land Downunder in 2003 with 48000kms of use.

My new foreign owner drove me for 25000kms in 9months then sold me to my current owner, I call him bigfoot but sshhhh dont tell him that, way back in June 2005

5yrs and 35000kms later Im still feeling great! He's done a lot of work to me, and one day I hope for my rb30 bottom end lung transplant upgrade under the xmas tree!

biggest problem at the moment is a dead market.. cars just aren't moving. fantastic if you are a buyer because you have the upper hand but terrible if you are a seller.

unfortunately you are not going to see much of your hard earned returned, as i'm sure you are aware.

it all comes down to finding the right buyer at the right time (something is only worth what someone is willing to pay) but my guesstimate would be around the 14-15k mark

I wouldnt mind a Series-2 auto

Id flog off the complete Neo engine, brakes & ecu, and drop in my track car parts:

ie:

rear R32 GTR brake calipers, new Slotted DBA 4000 discs, QFM A1RM track pads, braided lines

new front Wilwood Racing 4-pot brake calipers, Drilled 324mm brembo rotors, Wilwood pads, braided lines

new 235/45/17 KU36 tyres

In goes the R32 GTR RB26dett engine, with z32 afms, GTR fmic, new YellowJacket coilpacks, new Siemens 550cc injectors,

near new highflow turbos, new hardpipe kit, new OBX headers, hks split dumps, OBX new turboback "greddy mx" type exhaust,

new 52mm radiator, fuel pump/lines/swirlpot, various guages and parts to suit from the r32 sedan donor car.

Id install shift paddles, and spend a few grand at mv autos (blackwood, sa) on shift kit, auto rebuild strengthen-up, etc.

The rb26 engine would be rebuilt with 87mm hks pistons and a whole heap of crazy gear I already have.

I dont see why I couldnt sell the S1, buy S2, sell s2 parts, install track car parts, sell remainder, and not really pay anything.............

Or do as I planned, install manual shift kit system to my s1 auto box, plus the rb26 stuf above.

yeh. fark it.

who wants to help me remove an engine or two ?

Or buy a S2 anyway and have both !!! Rb26 into S2 as above, dirty RB 30 bottom end to the S1

woooot

LOLz

[-RBD2-]

Haha brendo,nice ad man

it's hard to say wat she's worth,I tried to sell mine until I realised that if someone did coming with the cash and pay the full asking price,I still wouldn't be happy to let her go

guess you need to work out wat kind of cash you would be happy with to hand the keys over

i know it would break my heart to see someone else drive my stag past me( I still crack the Sads wen I see my old black s2 rx7 that I sold 6years ago!!)

decide on a price,stick to it.if someone isn't happy to buy it for said price,keep it and transplant that rb26 you have into it...

Peace out dude

[Tangles]

That was all the car ^

silly miss

I'll sell her engine as a head, turbo & bottom end (she'll hate that) and get say 4k

ecu, other stuff another grand. Put that into rb26 build

drop in said rb26 and do skids out of the change

[darrinspencer]

Strip it. . . . .serious, let the vultures at it

[Chris_Beli]

I got told a stock s2 was worth about 17k when i took out my insurance about 3 months ago, however like you guys are saying there are heaps of stags on the market atm and no one is buying them, the one i bought started out at 16500 and ended up going down to 13500 before i bought it, regardless of all the mods I would agree with mike that you would probably only get like 15k max

[KiwiRS4T]

Not clear why you want to sell it. In NZ a stock S1 RS4T is worth about $5k. My S1 after spending about $15 - 20K on it would sell for about $8k so there's no way I am ever going to sell it!

All your car needs is an RB30 bottom end and a manual box or a hugely beefed up auto (oh and possibly a GTR rear end)!

[Tangles]

I'll finish her off....

[kidafa]

next time I see you i want to slap you for even considering selling it brendan.... if we still cranked battlefeild 2 id t bag you all map

[vic stagea mick]

i think 99c but ill give ya $1.00 because im a good bloke . dont sell it you will be kicking yourself if you do it

[Tangles]

musta been stoned,

decided to take out the rb26dett from the r32 sedan, plus the intake/fmic, bov system, powerfc, new 4-pot wilwood calipers, pads, brackets, lines & 330mm rotors,

I'll grab the rear calipers from the sedan and swap with the stagea rears, and keep the new ku36 tyres

then I'll sell the r32 4-door sedan stripped shell with:

stagea rear & r32 GTR front calipers/slotted rotors/braided lines/pads, spare front Stagea calipers/lines/pads

17x8" Stitch mags/new tyres,

front/rear Greddy strut bars,

front Bride seat rails/ Bride drivers bucket seat, Gehpardo seat

stock rear seats, seat belts, GTR fuel pump fitted, GTR rear wing, spare gtst rear wing with led brake light

Cusco roll cage, spare 4wd roll cage

tomei 320kmph dash, replacement speedo cable/bonnet latch cable

5spd manual rwd gearbox/clutch in excellent condition,

new steering wheel/adapter/gearshifter/boost gauge,

koyo radiator and trust intercooler with tein adjustable suspension

it will just need an engine. complied, rego'd for rb20. no engine/ecu. 4g firm.

I'll then sell my gt3076r turbo, dump/front pipe, manifold for near 2g, sell the ported Tomei head for 2g and sell the bottom end & ecu(s) for another 1g

sink 2g into the auto and around 3g into building/tuning the rb26 with all the insane parts I have collected off ebay - means all up it'd cost me 10k to do changeover once all costs considered.

(ie new forged rb26dett built/installed/tuned + new strengthened auto)

everything is ready to go, as listed above all costs already paid for and/or covered via sales, so Im going to do it.

Greddy oil filter, Ryco fuel filter, Champion Gold sparkplugs
