What Do You Think This Is Worth To Sell...

[unique1]

hey guys i dont use my modified stagea much these days and looking to purchase a house so im thinking of selling it but unsure what it is worth and if anyone would be interested in such a setup, or maybe its better to strip it back to stock and sell all the parts off?

im not too fussed if i sell or not, i have had the car since 2004 (and been on theses stagea forums since then), it has undergone alot of changes in that time, and recently featured in Performance Imports magazine with the old setup it had. It is no where near as modified as it was in the magazine as i got a defect notice and decided to make it completely legal and put the modified engine into a track only gtr instead.

The mod list is pretty long but here is the basics to give you an idea...

rb30 bottom end, freshly rebuilt with new pistons (not forged but stronger than stock, they are called Endurotec and made by Precision), its got a crank collar on the crank, all assembly was washed, machined and balanced. Has done about 2000km so far. It has a gtr oil pump on it, brand new water pump, new tensioner and idler pulleys, new timing belt and all new seals, and hks drag metal head gasket 1.2mm.

rb26 head is also recond and in as new condition with all standard rb26 gear.

The block also has a "Pro Engines" 4wd sump adaptor kit fitted to allow for the gtr 4wd sump to be used.

this is a copy and pasted list of the mods i can remember...

thats about it i think lol.

i have invested alot of money into the car over the years and only used top quality parts throughout.

heres a couple of pics of the motor and car itself

i have full engineer reports for all mods and engine conversion/brakes/etc, the only mod not approved is the single turbo, i can put stock rb26 twins back on it and take abit of money off the price and then its fully legal. The engine block is stamped as an rb26 so no worries as no one can tell its a rb30 at all, passed the inspections with no dramas.

this is a pic with stock turbos on it and looks completely standard to the untrained eye. You can put some upgraded low mounts on it and make heaps of power without any issues with police etc.

The current setup is only roadtuned but making around 350hp at wheels, and cam timing hasnt been touched yet so has alot more in it, and should make low 400s without any dramas or reliability issues at all.

so what would you guys think it is worth?

I'll just go sell my kidney and get back to you...

Damn! Lol. Would love to do the 30 bottom end on my 260.

If only I had some more coin.

Sorry this post had no real relevance. Haha.

[chef_stagea]

As sad as it is, the money you have put in. Is going to be many times what younwd get for it, it looks maybe too far to go back to stock, As finding an engine etc wd out weigh wat an s1 is worth. Let alone the scare factor when you tell people its not factory engine etc. The motor alone wd fetch ~10k dont we think? Other than that ur breaks, handelind mods n gbox wd get u a bit more. Strip it n move on..?

[bLaQ.bOi]

strip it. you dont get no where near what you put in...definatley strip it

[Raysboostin]

damn!! if you had of put this up for sale 6months ago it would of sold in 20seconds! but now ive got another stag. but if you do decide to part it out i'll take the entire engine package!! im serious!!

[Blizzerd]

yeah likewise, i would have bought it pretty dam fast a few months ago, but if you strip it, let me know how much the brakes are, hawttttt

btw, dont strip it or sell it, just hold onto it and use it when you can

[Zorro]

atleast 25K!

[Bronx]

i am very drunk right now and i do offer 20 dollars, take it or leave it :):) (the rest has been spent on beer)

[chuckie]

Brad don`t be a

sort camtiming out

& drive bloody think

atlest you can fit TOOLS IN IT not like the mits

[260rsstagea]

ill be happy to trade fuse box covers lol mine is a bit worn

[d1_drifter]

With a dropped shaft and on gate, this this sounds nuts haha.

As Chuckie said, you can't fit shit in the GTO

[KiwiRS4T]

What's it worth? A lot more than you could ever sell it for.

Plan A - just keep it (what are you towing your track car with?)!

Plan B - stick a price on it that you would be happy with and wait for someone to come on this forum looking for a good C34 and buy it.

Plan C - if you must sell it wait until you can organise an engine swap with someone - I would have paid someone $10k and given them my old engine for one like yours - (and as many other bits as they can afford) and then sell it.

[SMOKEYV35]

an awesome example.

what are the offsets on your rims??

[unique1]

the offsets are +20 and 10" rims all round, i run a 5mm spacer on the rear to clear the struts as they rub otherwise. Rears stick out abit but look good none the less and fronts are spot on with 235 tyres on it.
