Hi guys,

I've had my M35 up on carsales for a while:

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-stagea-2001-12843073?base=1216&vertical=Car&Range=Price:Min,Max~0.5&eapi=2&sort=default&cr=0&__N=1246%201247%201252%201282%201216&silo=Stock&find=bly89n|CarAll

I haven't been very active on the forums this year as my new job has completely taken over, so after having a bit of a look around I think I may have been asking a bit too much. My question is, what do you guys think it's worth?

I'm off to Europe in mid August & the car needs to be gone by then, to help things along I'm offering $300 cash to anyone who can help find a buyer.

Cheers,

Will

I saw your car for sale when I was looking for an M35 back in Jan/Feb & it had been advertised at $16k for a while even then - I never bothered ringing because the ad said you were going overseas & I assumed it was sold and that was why the car was still advertised after so long...

My advice - pay the $40 for a new ad with new pics so it doesn't look like it's still for sale after so long - people will assume there's something wrong with it if it's still not sold after an extended time.

Good luck moving it mate.

Thanks for the advice mate, just finishing up a new ad for it now. I was thinking of doing a new ad as this one may have become a bit "stale"

My contract at work has been extended three times this year, so the trip overseas has been pushed back. Flights are booked now, 20th of August we're outta here!

Thanks again.

Jeez for a moment u thought my car was on sale...until I noticed the missing blanking plates...

God luck with the sale.

Haha, the car had the blanking plates when I bought it but one popped out heading southbound on the Harbour Bridge...... I wasn't jumping out to get it. I just took the other one out when I got home.

Did they not have clips on the inner edge to hold them in place?

I used these when I fitted mine; no way they would be able to fall off.

G'day Will.

Just a thought... If you swap most of performance parts to OEM with cash adjustment your way you could easily get 3.5-4K. If you drop the price ot your car by 3K it will be the cheapest in Australia so gone pretty quickly I imagine. A bit of fuss over parts off/on, but given the time this car was on sale you might wanna give it a shot... Your call, just an idea that could possibly work if you are willing to take a risk. Good luck with your sale!!!

Looks like it's sold anyway, I just checked the link.

Still for sale, just under a new ad. Not sure how to edit the original post to replace the link.

    • That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.
    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
