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?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
