can anyone tell me or pm me prices of what a series 2 stagea 99ish with maybe 70000k? with leather with all options... (usually the leather ones have all the options) sells for at auction?

something the site i signed up for doesnt tell me. i can bid on cars but i dont find out what they sell for :P

How long is a piece of string? It all depends on the km's / condition / demand on that day.

I can give you one tip though.

DO NOT post any pics or details about any car on here that you are going to bid on until you have won it. The importers and agents all keep any eye on these forums and if you post up anything about a car you have found and really like, when it goes to auction the price will shoot up because there will be a few extra people bidding on it purely because they know there is a buyer for it.

Yeah i figured that.

and a bit of searching done and i actually can select which ones i like and it will tell me if it sells and what it sells for :P

good way to find out how much my leather is really worth :happy:

and yer i aint that silly :wave: i am an internet auction king :huh:

^that was NOT called for :P

and yer i aint that silly :wave:

No offense dude, I didn't mean to infer that you were.

Its just this has happened on here (and not that long ago too) and I wasn't sure if anyone had realised that people have been burnt like that.

I know I sure wasn't until a little bird whispered in my ear. :happy:

yeah its understandable! and i know you didnt mean to offend!

but all good i know what i am lookin for now and everything.

then comes the next hard part the import approval import shit.

but first i must stop dreaming for a bit and sell this gearbox!!

Looking on the Yahoo auctions I've seem a few complete leather interiors up for sale. Would definatley be a container job to get it here but the prices seem reasonable. Long way down my list atm though :wave:

yeah someone on here did the leatherette seat cover thing, do a search... they looked good. Some people had problems with installing them on thier skylines, only because they rushed into it and had no patience :)

For me, leather looks good, but with the heat we have here in Perth, it would be so uncomfy... and the heated seats option, absolutely useless here, unless you're living amongst snow :)

D'ya know why, when a man see's a woman dressed in leather, his heart rate increases, he gets endorphins going and may even break out in a sweat??

because she smells like a sports car :)

The model that you are looking for is the prime edition, if you want all the bells & whistles. The silver, white colours definately sell for less. I have seen them go for as little as A$6000, for a 2000 model with 70,000, but you have to be lucky or maybe careful! I paid $13,000 for mine, ($25,000 landed complied and everything paid inc insurance), but it has a full body kit, 18" alloys, and is Bayside Blue, original 78,000km's. Just be careful of respray's. I am happy to run any numbers through FAST for you.

This is the last prices published for a Prime edition

Date year cc Shift km's Colour Model Model US$ grade

22.03.2007 2000 2500 FA 74 pearl WGNC34 25T RS-4V PRIME 6800 4

15.03.2007 2000 2500 FA 57 pearl WGNC34 RS-4 PRIME E 10400 3

01.03.2007 1999 2500 FA 35 pearl WGNC34 RS-4 PRIME E 10200 4

Because of their prices I am fairly certain that the last 2 are turbo's too. Of course the auction sheets would have told you more.

Oh and don't bother asking where I get the info, cos I won't tell!! But believe me it's true, I know I found mine too. :sick:

Ciao

PS I have found the leather great even on the hotest days it certainly isn't unbearable.

That was me ... and thanks.

Yeah if you have patience with putting them in they come out looking awesome ... everyone who gets into my car loves my "leather interior" and how comfortable it is. No one has picked up its not 100% leather yet, kinda shows how good a product they are.

Having said that ... l do throw my AXS seat cover on for daily driving, as not keen on coming outta the gym or from a ride & sitting all sweaty on my seats.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
