Well after having the Stagea for nearly 2 years and building it the way I wanted it, I have decided I have lost interest in it. I have only driven it 3-4 weeks in 2 years. Apart from painting the front end, which will be done before it goes on sale, I have done all that I have wanted to do to it.

When I first imported the car, it was basically a stock silver series 2 auto RS4 with the only mods being a body kit.

Since then the current mods totalling over $25K in parts alone include R34 GTR front end, R34 GTR wheels, r34 GTT front & rear brakes, Tein coilovers, Apexi ax53b70 p25 BB turbo, Power Fc, Tomie type B poncams, Blitz 525cc inj, Spitfire coils, Z32, FMIC, full exhaust, Biltz EBC, R34 gtr pump, manual gearbox change, nismo short shifter, Momo factory airbag s/wheel, Garage Impul fronts seats, matching series 2 manual rear seat and door trims, nismo clear front and rear indicators, autech rear wing, ganador door mirrors, ARC titanium cooling panel plus a few other bits.

The chances of selling the car once painted with all the current bits on it for what it should be worth would be highly unlikely, so I will be stripping some parts that are possible to reduce the costs. Most likely will be turbo, power fc, ebc, inj, z32, seats and s/wheel, mirrors, brakes and possibily the r34 wheels.

I will need some factory parts in exhange like r34 turbo, s/wheel(non tiptronic), series 2 F & R brakes, after market 17-18 wheels

If you are interested in the car or parts PM me your EOI. Once the parts are removed and car is painted then it will be for sale.

how much would u expect for a sale price?. at a guess 25k maybe 30

To sell it as is but painted and finished I would want $30k which is autech territory, but it would still cost you at least another $20K to get the same mods on a stock autech but you would have a rb26.

If I remove mainly engine performance parts and sell the car with manual g/box, r34 gtr front, r34 gtr wheels, suspension, exhaust, body kit and stock interior for approx low $20's which what a stock series 2 manual sells for. The r34 front end alone cost $6.5k painted.

Its a single turbo conversion? which means you couldnt relly swap it out for my stock 260RS item....?

If i had the cash i would gladly swap you my 260RS front end for your 34GTR front with the dollars your way a lil.

How much for the EBC?

I have an apexi FC, and planned mods are filter, exhaust, boost controller and FMIC, so if you have any of those (or anything that youd recommend to run as supporting mods) up for sale, let me know what you are after. Thanks.

very sad to hear mate but i think i wont be far behind you! :blink:

goodluck with it all buddy

Damn Brycey... you only just finished putting together your yellow machine... why you bailing so soon?

Seems like a lot of people are selling up recently. I started working in the city and am barely driving mine anymore as I catch the train in and its something I am contemplating as well :P

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
