Surely it didn't go for 2.5k...what about the 6k reserve?

Thats what they wanted Cam to pay, I dont know if that is then necessarily a reserve price.. its more like an ebay auction 'buy it now' price :P

I dont see why they wouldnt take 2.5k, its not like its going to appreciate.

$2.5k is what it sold for, if it didn't meet reserve. they will contact the high bidder and try and do a deal.

they will never get 6k for it. thats not much less than i paid for mine, and it's not crashed!!

Spoke to current owner over the Christmas break.

He is repairing it to sell.

Funny thing though, he didn't see the kms on the clock and has ordered replacement parts from the VIN, so it ain't gonna have it's pretty face on when he is done.

He was also told by his parts guy that there is no difference between a 2006 Stagea and a 2002 Stagea...

Such a shame when something you pour your heart into ends up with someone with no knowledge, isn't interested in researching (or taking advice) and only views it as a "money making venture".

Shame, but if he doesn't take advice it could end up being a "money losing venture".

    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
