agreed, however in his defence, finace companied need to be pushed to notify revs when their interest in a vehicle has ended. i had to ring several times for 2 cars to do the same thing. two different finance companies too.....

hmmm i asked if it was a stat write off and he said its 'NOT' in capitals. so im asking for paperwork. insurance has had someting to do with it as it doesnt have rego. im 100% sure this car came from edward lees in june last year and i drove it :dry:

anyway, he said GMS spares has an M35, so ive asked if they are seperating it (ECU + bits for me)

I've also messaged them to confirm if they have the ECU and seperate it :domokun: Thanks man, they'll wonder why everyone is asking about an ECU lol

i was gonna go check it out today if anyone wants to come??

I would have been interested but I was tied up at the grandfather's old joint at Auburn. I don't think you got to go anyway, dude didn't get back in touch with you.

he seems to think every car thats ever had an accident and claimed under insurance is classified as a repairable write-off. wtf??

As was said from day one, the dude is a cowboy :) Hopefully he's reading this forum :)

i hope he is too! especially if he thinks its A; repairable, and B; cost as little as he seems to think, and C; his car is worth $25k!! is a base model RS with no options. sorry lol

I would like to know his reason for calling it a "Limited Edition" too , I think he's having a pull.

This car was at pickles right?

if hes bought it from there there will be no finance problems, or any other problems stopping him from doing anything.. he owns the car as it is no finance problems will exist

if anyone here is getting this car, i'd take all the black trims :dry:

For any one buying the car to repair, there was 2 quotes on the car threw insurace at over $17,000 thats why it became a total loss, there is alot of damage as the rail has gone back into the firewall a fiar way id say this bloke bought car not seeing this and now he cant fix it.

which in plain english = not worth fixing. now if a import panel shop got the car for nix and fixed it thats another story.

how did you find this out?

On 15-Jun-09 at 01:51:22 AEST, seller added the following information: There is so much fuss on eBay about this car it’s not funny, seriously guys its really simple, if you don't want a damaged car just don't participate or bid. You don't need to send me random comments telling me stories of how you think what you think., I don't want to hear what anyone thinks and there 2 cents, all I want to do is sell my damaged stagea. That’s it. Anyone taking cheapshots only shows that you have too much time on your hands to use your IQ for something useful.

it's really simple, its a damaged stagea, with all damaged cars they can be headaches repairing, I’ve done my research with parts, I got the quotes, I’ve listed the source of the quotes, I’ve taken more photos than the eBay maximum listing picture supports, and still people are asking for silly questions like is the airbag blown, there's 4 pictures showing the dash clearly in perfect condition with no blown airbags...

I’ve even offered people to see the car for them self’s to get a feel of what needs to be done. You just can't please everyone. This description is starting to become somewhat of a novel.

Its not new., it’s a damaged car. Anyone buying it will have to repair it, like all damaged cars, its not rocket science!!!

Lol its getting so much attention that you can find it on Google "damaged stagea" who knows it might just overtake the stupid chik chik boom hits. Lets start a facebook page called the damaged stagea so we can B**** about it there. I hope you see my point, relax it’s only a damaged car.

Happy bidding.

Someone getting a bit toey?! :banana:

Mind you that the replacement parts would all be NEW from nissan. or whoever made the kit that was on the car.. + all the broken parts that you can see. airbox etc etc..

thats why the cost will be out of this world.. it really doesnt look like that much of a knock. but the rail does look like it took most of the impact.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
