that economy is incredible.

Not bad huh? Its a little bit higher here in Brisbane due to more congestion on my route to work, but on a 10-20min trip to work in very much stop-start traffic here it still gets less than 12.5L/100km which i think is fantastic for a car of this size and performance.

I'm hoping for a little bit more than $10K (understandably). :down:

PRICE NOW DROPPED TO $13,500!!

This is a VERY good deal for a stagea. If you know anyone who wants one, they will need to be quick to snatch this up!!

I will consider all reasonable offers.

FAARK ME!!!

im off to the bank.....

and dont worry oldschoolers, im keeping the R30 project....

will this pass a roadworthy inspection? and how much rego is left?

Should pass roadworthy no probs. I'm happy to organise that (was planning on getting it done this or next week).

The only modifications that may be questionable are the larger turbo, safc, and boost controller but all of those are well hidden and the car runs very well so I dont see it being an issue. Either way I would be more comfortable to sell it with a RWC for peace of mind all round.

Current SA rego expires 27th March. not sure if its easier to go from SA to VIC or from QLD to VIC...but a QLD Roadworthy cert should make it pretty hassle free anyway...

I'm hoping to stick to the $13,500 price because I know it will sell at this price. Its a bargain.

Let me know if/when you want to come and have a look at it :(

will be in brissy from the 25th to the 30th...

will be staying at my bros place in carindale... are you far from there?

might get my old man to take it fro a test for me if thats all right... if he likes it i will get him to put a fatwad deposit on it (cash...)

will call soon

actually i got my dates wrong, will be up next tuesday night... so is an evening between wed & fri any good??

yep any night next week will be fine :blink: just give me a call to confirm on the day or something and i'll make sure i'm home :D

just a side note

the mods to this are pretty good, im thinking there is a fair bit more tunign potential?

am i right assuming you left it how it is now to keep the good fuel economy?

and would there be a significant power increase with a 040 fuel pump, GTR injectors, and a re-tune

and a front-mount kit?

off to bank in next 30 min...

er, yes. :(

Basically the main limitations at the moment are the fuel pump and intercooler.

Yeah that and the cost of mods (both in extra fuel and the initial purchase cost per item).

Any increase from this point is only possible through pumping more fuel through the system so I think its safe to say its at its most efficient setup right now, and has a lot of potential hidden away :P

and would there be a significant power increase with a 040 fuel pump, GTR injectors, and a re-tune

and a front-mount kit?

hehe, YES! I'd say with these mods you'd EASILY reach 200awkw. To go further, I'd recommend upgrading the tuning ability, maybe a powerfc (speak to 'tangles' from SA who has done this recently to his auto stagea s1) or otherwise I've heard the GReddy E-manage can work well - provided your tuner knows how to install and tune these on an RB25.

Bearing in mind the auto gearbox will start to suffer the further you step above 200awkw. There's a few stageas with 200awkw doing just fine after 1-2 years but 225awkw seems to be the breaking point for a stock auto gearbox.

It DOES have the auto shift kit as well so this should give you a bit extra strength in the auto gearbox. It was fitted by MV Automatics in SA so speak to them regarding how much effect the shift kit will have to reliability.

Just FYI I now have a QLD RWC. There were no issues (as expected).

I've also had quite a lot of interest in the car this week, not surprising because it is a VERY low price for a series 2 Stagea!

However as yet I still have not taken any deposit on it so it'll be strictly first come first served.

Once I receive a deposit I will post again to let you all know :D

Good luck with that sale man.

Damn, if its still around in the next week, hell I might buy it (I shouldn't ... money gotta go to a new house).

:D

Come on guys, my stagea is still for sale...

I know the price is LOW but there is nothing at all wrong with the car (maybe I should ask for more?? hehe).

Price now dropped to $13000 if anyone is interested, or MAKE AN OFFER :P

Wanting to sell it asap. Need to pay off whats left owing on it.

STILL FOR SALE, HOPING TO SELL IT THIS WEEKEND!!

Please make an offer...

If you're after a very cheap series 2 stagea with good performance and awesome potential then this is for you!!

There are NO problems with it. Just want to sell it quick before the car I'm hoping to buy also sells...

EDIT: car is now SOLD. sorry.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
