I've been researching stag prices on the online importer sites & mailing lists for ages and ages and I think this is about the best I've found, and it just appeared yesterday.

So not everybody is looking for the combination I was after:

- FULL days kit (front AND rear bars)

- silver

- leather (preferrably Prime)

But here it is, with (almost) all the options:

And it's under 12 grand delivered. Are fuel prices biting big imports, or what??? That's a flippin' bargain :banana:

Would've bought this one if I hadn't bought my pearl white one already - white was a compromise for me, I like silver better :banana: but hard to choose between them I think, both awesome.

...just my daily auction opinion :bunny:

You want depressing, try owning a JZX100 right now: on average a 20%-25% drop in local prices over the last 10 weeks: Looks like we'll be keeping Peta's car for a while yet: not worth selling it anymore... :)

6 months ago i paid 16k for a 96 stagea.....yeh i guess i paid a lot but it was top notch condition, unmodified and i didnt have to travel far to buy it. also no waiting for importing and compliance. at least thats what i tell myself

same here. paid $16,300 for mine just over a year ago. untouched. completely stock with only a rear cannon on it.

travelled 25 mins to buy it. best car i have ever owned.

Yeah I paid $20K for my series 1 beginning 2006, spent $6000 last year one body kit, respray, timing belt, c.v's, fmic, safc and sitc....etc then have just spent another $6000 in the last couple of weeks on new brakes, M.V shift kit, splitfires, O2 sensor, SK Suspension Kit, HID's, new plumb back BOV and some other crap.

So now have spent $32000 to date on it ;):D:( Could buy a 260RS for that money now. And considering the amount of work done to my car I'd get 11K maybe for it, so do you think I'm selling anytime soon????? or EVER for that matter :D

Thats a really good price compared to this one

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=128358364

at nearly $18k without leather (but with 5 spd manual). A good series I is now around $7k - $8k and series II $11 to $15k but RS260 are still around $25k in NZ. I guess that's the effect of premium (98ron) at $1.25 a litre

...ah was thinking WTF until I worked out that must be $NZ!! Yeah I think that the price of fuel might be starting to hurt the resale value of turbo imports

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
