Good on you. I've just revently bought a 260rd stagea from Jspec. They are good so far. My car is still in Japan waiting to verify the payments that i;ve on monday. Save yourself a headache and their service fee is 1k which is reasonable.

Go to their website and they have a section which got the calculator which will tell you how much it will cost you all up +-10%. Dpending on the exchange rates at the time you tranfer the moeny (from oz $ to jap yen) Check aroung with different banks there will be a few hundred dollars difference. Also you have to allow fir tyres, degassing of A/c compressor, compliance bits if your car got aftermarket parts those need to be taken off before compliance and put back on after that :D Which model are you thinking of getting? wats your budget?

Good luck buddy.

Hi Mike

Have a look at "What does it REally cost" on page two.

Roughly the cost to drive away no more to pay (hahahahah, wot planet u from) is about 8 grand plus fob, unless you get a manual, and that could add another grand for tax and Govt bulls**t.

Iv'e had mine nearly two months and am starting to go shopping.

First two bits are tow bar & a/t oil cooler, to tow S13 drifter. The list can be

enddddllleeeesssss. Have fun.

maybe more, I am looking at closer to 11k + FOB to get on the road.

Sliding scale between FOB and duties/taxes, a couple of minor things that need to be done to the car that can't be picked up at auction and it starts to balloon and things can get a bit out of hand.

Still cheaper and unless you are in QLD good luck finding more than one for sale locally!

Cheers

Luke

I am 100% genuine in selling my car right now. Stock or modified. I would prefer to sell it stock.

I will be 100% honest with you if you ask about its problems or issues that need fixing, so you will know what you are getting.

In its current form (rips rexies and holds good with R34 GTT with 200rwkw) I would be happy to walk away with 25k (GTR FMIC + SS pipes, GCG turbo, ENTIRE SK suspension kit, Towbar, EBC, Full exhaust with best available dump/cat on the market, AWESOME italian made sound system, new slotted fron rotors, endless SSS brake pads, braided brake lines, would include replaced gearbox aswell, R34 GTT wheels, Hankook tyres, 040 fuel pump and heaps of stuff ive forgotten).

In stock (meaning, with 2 tonne towbar, good speakers in the doors, 2 point black wired aussie std alarm, R34 GTT wheels and 80% hankook k104's) trim I would let it go for ~$19,000ono. I would also replace the auto box before I sold it with a better conditon one.

Check out this link to see what a stocko one costs you, and do the maths of how much ive furthur sunk into the car. (Stags themselves were more expensive a year ago when i was buying) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...opic=113752&hl=

All services (5000 oil, 5000 sparkies, 20000 fuel filter, 5000 oil filter, 10000 clean air filter) done by myself with receipts/empty(some full of used oil) bottles of the best (Castol EVERYTHING) fluids.

You have me on MSN and can call me on <removed> if you want to talk more.

Why is everyone selling their stageas. i was one of the first people on SAU to own one, and i've seen so many come and go over the last 2 years. i would never sell mine unless upgrading to a 260, and after i'm finished with my current one i'll probably flog a 260 anyway.

keep the stageas guys, they're awesome!!! selling stageas makes me sad...

I am selling my Stagea because I no longer require its services.

I agree that its a great car, but a smaller lighter faster coupe will allow me to get that extra entry speed, extra mid corner speed and better overal sports driving.

I am thinking its not worth making a family wagon sportier, when i can should just take a sports car and make that sportier.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
