ok well Im looking for a change so Im putting my daily up for sale. I have owned it for 18 months and love it to bits. Its my daily and gets babied almost always, most trips are just to the shops and back but have taken it on a few long road trips without any faults. It has never skipped a beat at all, its always been 100% reliable requiring just the usual basic servicing. the car is always garaged and gets serviced every 3-5000kms and only use full synthetic oils.

It's a very well maintained car, Im very fussy with it and always have it spotless inside. Im the second owner in Australia, previous owner was just as fussy and only racked up 6000kms in the year he owned it. owner in japan was a middle aged woman, have her on facebook now after finding her fuel card in the car haha

car is a 1997 series 1 Stagea RS4 4wd automatic

roughly 125000kms

car is regod in QLD until feb 2011

located in Brisbane

It has a short list of tasteful mods. everything is very neat and no corners have been cut.

HKS pod filter

R34 GTR intercooler, custom alloy piping with silicone joiners

BLITZ Spec S boost controller

GReddy Emanage ecu with super neat install

3" dump/front pipe in one

Apexi 3" cat back exhaust

gutted cat

Davies Craig transmission cooler

engine bay earth kit

auto turbo timer

Potenza suspension- almost as firm as coilovers

genuine R34 GTR wheels with 245/40/18 Federal 595 tyres

R32 GTR front brake calipers with slotted RDA rotors

260rs swaybars - almost zero body roll

huge rear wing -rare

full 260rs body kit -rare

roof racks deleted -rare

no sun roofs -rare

no hicas -rare

flawless respray in white pearle

debadged

dark tint

white headlights and parkers

clear side indicators

PIAA carbon fibre wipers

JVC headunit with USB outlet

Kenwood 6" front splits

Genuine Stagea floor mats

imaculate interier

slim line weather shields

remote alarm and imobilisor

was tuned by Trent at Status tuning 190awkw on 12psi (stock dump, front pipe and cat) so probably a bit more now.

roughly 550km per tank. slightly more on an all highway trip and slightly less if you have a heavey right foot everywhere

aswell as routine servicing, I have recently changed the following:

new O2 sensor

new battery

all exhaust gaskets replaced with genuine gaskets

rocker cover gaskets

new slotted rotors

headlight earths rewired for brighter lights

$15000 cash but open to trades for something other than a track car - would prefer a clean JZX100, v35 or something along those lines

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
