I have owned this car since 08/2007 and it has never let me down. I purchased it just under 80k km, had the timing kit(with water pump and OEM thermostat) done at around 80k km(receipt provided). It has also had the radiator reco'd(sticker still on rad), a new thermostat(precaution), new coolant temp sensor, the IAC valve cleaned, throttle body cleaned etc. serviced every 4-6k km with fuchs 10w30. Most recent service i used motul 10w40. Recently had rocker cover kit done.

I bought the car dead stock(which means I have the standard parts) from the first aussie owner who owned it for ~3yrs and put ~35k km on it(he also had a company car). All the modifications have been well thought out and carried out to complement the car.

- Car has been dyno'd to check AFR's

PRICE $10,999

Reg is until October 2010.

Car is parked undercover in the inner-suburbs of Melbourne.

I am sure there is more I could add, As you can see, all mods are of good quality, all maintenance has been done(folder to prove, contains receipts for 100k service which was done the week i bought the car etc). This is a VERY reliable car, NEVER let me down, I have used it when i had un-reliable datsun projects, and then moved house with it(can fit a fridge in it easy :P ), and it has been the grocery getter as the mrs and I get trains to work. The reason I have put so many km on the car is my fiance's family are in Geelong, over 150km away, and the rest out in Colac, and her family being rather close has resulted in alot of trips to see them- you can see how the cruisy km's got put on there.

This car would suit someone with a young family, a preggy mrs, or someone who goes away a lot or needs the space for bikes or work gear. Or if you just want a cool car that gets lots of the right kind of attention but none of the wrong kind!

Contact me via PM for any enquires,

-Ryan.

Fuel economy: around town 450km 50lt, fwy 550 too 3/4tank. fuel economy improved with the full exhaust. currently it is being driven too/from work by the mrs as i have bought myself a new car.(which now the mrs has changed jobs i will be selling too) BP98 or mobil 98 only!

Reason for sale: Mrs and I both on traineeships, Wedding is in 18months, both cars are going and we are going to get a little hatch worth about 30% of the Stagea. We live close to her work, I get the train to work, we live 10mins from the CBD, so it is hard to justify having money tied up in any car, not to mention two.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
