Desperate - Car For Sale

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I know this is the wrong posting place, but I am not having any luck with my car for sale. I realise that these are not particularly 'in demand' cars, but surely someone wants a nice, genuine klm stag with service records from Japan and here ??

Sensible mods have been done, and I am open to any reasonable offer. Car has to go as have 3 cars in the driveway right now !!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/19...yz-t206548.html

I would also consider converting it back to basically stock and selling even cheaper if I can get buyers for some of the add-on parts.

For example, is there any interest in the following:

1. BOS Importing 3"split dump pipe and high flow 740cfm cat from forums - $500 for both

2. Apexi SAFC Neo and SITC computers - $500 for both

3. Full set of clear lights, including front bumper, side indicatior and rear (series 2) lights - $500 for whole set.

This would allow me to sell the car even cheaper, although I think the car is worth more with the parts on it and would prefer not to chop it all up.

Please help me find a new home for my car !!!! :banana:

Hi Stu,

Im very supprised that this is still for sale... When I was looking around I will admit I was very tempted to buy it and that was a good few months ago! The main reason i steered clear of it was becuase of the boost being raised. Im was aware it was only on 11 psi ect but still worried me and not sure if its been on that its entire life.

good luck with the sale mate!

geez, i have run an aftermarket turbo on my R33 for over 7 years now with 191,000km on the clock with (obviously) higher than standard boost. compression is still good.

i think we all need to encourage new members to look at locally landed cars with plenty of fruit on them. nowadays they are almost certainly cheaper than importing once you factor in the modifications and tuning etc.

The car was stock as a rock from Japland, and even has all the Jap service stickers on it so I am very confident it was looked after over there. I have certainly looked after it here with service every 5000ks and replaced timing belt and water pump immediately on arrival. Imported it via J-Spec.

My dilemma is that I am an honest person, so I have listed all the mods on the car and where it is at. I truely believe that it is a much better car with the mods than when I got it. It has way more power, but more importantly more driveable. It is much more economical on fuel now too (at least 3L per hundred better) and would improve even more if put back to a lower boost. If I was keeping it I would have considered a dual stage boost controller for more economy.

In hindsight I probably would have been better putting back to standard and just pretending it was a stocker, but I think for the right person, they will appreciate the effort (and money) that has gone into it.

11psi is pretty tame and certainly well within the tuning limits of the car itself. I have specifically put parts in place to support much more than this level, as I believe in 'over-engineering' things. It has been left at that level to protect the turbo, due to ceramic turbines :banana:

Putting that aside, in the end though, I just want someone to please buy my car !!

sad to say..... S2 '99 30thou less kms 12k jspec

thats why it cant sell

ridiculous, but the arse has fallen out of the stagea market. 12k gets you a good S2.

you want a quick sale 10 would do it. surely.

but I know, its giving it away. crazy, hey

and THATS why when I bought an ex forum members car 3yrs ago I vowed itd be a 10yr owneership car.. one that had boost raised, been down the 1/4 mile, been in country for 9mnths yet done 25thou kms in that time,..... but yet was bargain of australia at that particular time. Dayz kit 76thou pod/exhaust/boost 17900 new tyres, everything else was 20k plus.

now prices are 12k for S2 and 10k for S1, plus compliance on road costs (say 12 / 15k on road for S1 / S2 landed from japan)

for a local it needs to be 2k less in price to be attractive.

just my view

very tasty tho for sure, try for 11k and see how you go????

I dunno, my fully worked modded Fireblade took over a year to sell. my VR V8 took 4months to sell & plenty of price drops after I got the stagea, just how it is.

Stu, bring it to the Central Coast meets on Thursday nights, if you can. I've been going for quite a while and the exposure is building some interest in the group.

You never know...

i'd be interested in that at tax time...

if it is still available then, ill be letting you know :)

Stu, I went up to the Coastie Meet @ Erina on Thursday night, and a few new people were asking me about my car. I mentioned that there was one (yours) for sale in the area, so you never know...

Correct, Fountain Plaza it is.

Hey, you (or should I say we) are driving a wagon version of a Skyline, so you have nothing to worry about. There are others there in different cars anyway...

PRICE DROP - $10,500 absolute firm for car as listed now with all mods.

If no interest in next week, I will part out some of the mods and have buyers for the exhaust and safc/sitc. Anyone looking for series 2 rear lights and front, side clear indicators please express your interest now.

Thanks,

Stu

Don't forget Fountain Plaza tonight, Stu!

And yeah, expressing interest in the lights (front and rear) - do you have a ball-park sales figure in mind?

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
