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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
