OK i have had my stagea for sale for ages, i cant sell it, i cant trade it.

I dont really want to go much lower as i know i could part it out for more, when would you say yeah stuff it im gonna part it out. Is it worth it?

Yeah it takes longer to get the money, but im going to be using the money to finish my house so i can refinance the mortgage and get the MRS new car. So if it takes a few months, well its gonna take me a few months to get everything done anyway.

What should i do? Im over the whole stagea experience, great car's but ive had nothing but trouble from day 1.

Opinion's?

Dude if you really want to get rid of it swap it for the R34 the dude offered you on your for sale page. i imagine would be easier to sell the 34.

Have you put it on other sites like Boost Cruising and Car sales?

Just ideas :P

all the best, let us know how you go.

Most people would say don't break up a perfectly good car but for you its purely a financial decision and you have to do whatever works out best for you so I won't try to advise you.

I am amazed at your fortitude after having with great effort shifted all the bits from one car to another you are able to contemplate pulling it all apart again!

[However if you do decide to sell the parts please PM me with the rear diff ratio and a price for the diff and axles]

Have spoken to him and he is no longer looking for a stagea.

I dont want to have to pull it apart, i just cant see any other way of ever moving it. They just dont seem to sell.

Hold off making the decision until at least Feburary, there may be a few people out there interested but aren't willing to part with cash until the Xmas/new years break is over. Until then, broaden your for sale listings to other car forums, carsales etc. And if it comes to it, a better option than parting it out would be to put it up for auction at an auction yard like Manheim Fowles, you might not get excatly what you want for it but it saves the hastle of stripping and selling each part.

Currently it is priced to match a Genuine 260RS after negotiations. Match it to a Series 2, manual price wise and see what happens. There will be parts that wont sell...

Have you tried contacting wholesalers just to move it quick?

Im willing to drop it a bit lower, just not a heap or like i said im then going cheaper then the sum of its parts.

I have tried wholesaler's to, being a weird car there not to keen on it, espicially being over here in wait awhile.

There's a series 1 RB260 been on Trade me for weeks buy now at $17500 but can't even get a bid for $15000 and its a good straight car. They seem to go for a bit more in Aus but still you are probably better of dropping your price when you consider all of your time and labour and the hassle of selling the parts.

if you get enough interest in most of the parts then i would look at parting it out *shotguns rear bar, steering wheel and front seats* cause if i had the money id buy it and part it out everyone is always looking for spare parts or to replace bits and pieces

  • 2 weeks later...

OK xmas is over why hasnt it sold yet? :bunny:

Looking at a GQ patrol atm that needs some work, if i get it when ive got it all fixed and back on the road if i have not had any interest im parting it out.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
