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

    • 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.
