Hi ryan,

Yeah I looked when you put your stag up for sale and had a squiz at price and mods ect.... Its a well modded car but the mods dont hold value much at all. What you would be asking is more if it was completely stock and then body condition. Seeing as its not leather ect id be re considering to. For sure if someone is after a modded car and knows about what parts are good ect sure they will snap yours up.

my 2c

yeah, i reported my own forsale thread with a copy and paste to see if it can be modified, i am going to put it up for 14k, then if someone offers me around 13 or whatever then i will talk to them about it.

$13k is criminal for a well sorted S1 such as yours. Sheeit, they just don't hold any value do they?

You might get some more bites from the leadfoot crowd if you also post a power-output.

But my recommendation is; don't sell it - keep it until it wears out!

if it doesnt sell and i get a loan for this other car, and i can manage the repayments with the higher rent for 16months(til my wage doubles), then i will keep it :(

a stocky is 10ish, add timinig kit and mods.... someone is about to get a f**king bargain, spread the word, I have a beautiful bottle of red that i might offer as a finders fee, from a local vineyard, was there best ever... i only have three bottles stashed :) and is prob more pleasing than a cash finders fee(which is also on offer)

unless it sells on here, the mods are worthless and will probably bring it's value down (people assume its been hooned/thrashed and will walk off).

Best thing to do is put stock stuff back on and sell the good bits on here. plenty of people would love to get their hands on the bilstein setup now they are not readily available

ryan,

Was only thinking after I got off computer to do what duncon said.

Pull the parts off and return it to stock. Sell your aftermarket bits and pieces.

Best option IMO to get a. the most of your money back as possible, b. a quick sale as you can drop asking price :(

I have all stock bits except for the shocks... i refuse to put it on carsales, i couldnt bare for it not to go to an enthusiast, its on here and NS(gulp).

MIGHT go on carsales if i get desperate tho... i think that is how AlexCim's sold. I could put it back to standard except for the shocks, but I really dont want to seperate what i fell is an awesome package

yeah whack it on carsales. thats how I sold mine and I sold mine for 14k with a few mods, suspension, safcII, EBC... the best stereo I've ever had, and that was when the market was giving 8-10k for stock

You're never going to get a quick sale with them, as people don't even know they exist.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
