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!

chirs

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.

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

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...

appreciate that, thanks. Are those the meets at the Carpark at fountain plaza (near erina fair) ?? I thought it was just skyline guys :happy:

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?

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
