I assume someones looking to buy this and repair it. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-STAGEA-AR-X-2001-M35-WAGON-2-5L-TURBO-DAMAGE-R34-LIGHT-DAMAGE-REPAIR-/320826813759?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4ab2c4ad3f#ht_968wt_1163

I recall that one going to Pickles some time ago, I guess it didnt sell or whoever bought it couldn't fix it for what the deemed an acceptable profit?

This was on Ebay last year, he wanted somewhere at least $6500, obviously it was a little ambitious.whistling.gif

Originally, he was making out that it was only a couple of grand to repair; which we all know is basically bollocks.

Also, the rules have changed in NSW, so if a NSW buyer wanted it; this is basically a no-go unless you want to strip it.

Basically anything thats been declared write off (even if only for financial reasons) cant be re-registered in NSW, is that correct?

SA still allows for financial write offs to be re-registered, but if it has any structural damage it'll never be road registerable.

$6.5k? You can buy a whole new Stagea for somewhere around $12k these days! Very ambitious. Its definitely a bit of work requried to get it back on the road, and theres a signficiant lead time in sourcing the parts (all has to come via sea). Definitely not a small project or one for the uninformed. Plus axis front ends are a bit more scarse to come by 2nd hand, likewise with the guards.

Less damage and kms that were on my car... but less mods too.

Only just slightly less than yours! Looks like it has an exhaust of some description, but no idea about the car other than that.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the case; I have a couple of mates who buy damaged RWO (repairable write off) bikes and repair them, they've basically stopped now.

HAS HAD AN ADDITIONAL "SENTINEL WARRANTY PLAN" TAKEN OUT ON THE VEHICLE FOR 60 MONTHS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE

Erm... would you really expect them to honour the warranty now?

i love that he said:

WOULD HAVE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST KEPT STAGEA'S AROUND

Yeah doesnt really look like it!

it will be good for parts, or to strip out and turn into a track car!

Lol, except for the front left corner being smashed to shit...

Who's stripping an AXIS for the track; you might as well start with one of these...

Is the owner of this car on SAU?

Didn't someone dinged his AXIS a few months ago?

I dont think they're on here. That car has been off the road for a while. I think Angus Smart posted about it when it was up for sale last time. You might be thinking of the silver Axis that went through pickles 6 or so months ago, that was up on M35Stagea.info for discussion. Went for over 3k at auction iirc

This axis has been on fleabay a few times now. Last time it was towards the end of last year and it did sell. I assume the buyer didn't end up paying as its the same guy listing it for sale again. I can't remember what it did sell for though. This seller must buy a lot of repairable write off cars from auction and try to on sell on fleabay for a quick profit. He has a heap of cars for auction and all apparently needing stuff all work.

Well it seems my old stagea has officially been written off.

Suggest all the SA lads keep an eye on the auctions and local wreckers.

Might be able to score yourselves some dayz carbon accessories and kit.

:(

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
