This was on Ebay last year, he wanted somewhere at least $6500, obviously it was a little ambitious.whistling.gif

Originally, he was making out that it was only a couple of grand to repair; which we all know is basically bollocks.

Also, the rules have changed in NSW, so if a NSW buyer wanted it; this is basically a no-go unless you want to strip it.

Basically anything thats been declared write off (even if only for financial reasons) cant be re-registered in NSW, is that correct?

SA still allows for financial write offs to be re-registered, but if it has any structural damage it'll never be road registerable.

$6.5k? You can buy a whole new Stagea for somewhere around $12k these days! Very ambitious. Its definitely a bit of work requried to get it back on the road, and theres a signficiant lead time in sourcing the parts (all has to come via sea). Definitely not a small project or one for the uninformed. Plus axis front ends are a bit more scarse to come by 2nd hand, likewise with the guards.

Less damage and kms that were on my car... but less mods too.

Only just slightly less than yours! Looks like it has an exhaust of some description, but no idea about the car other than that.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the case; I have a couple of mates who buy damaged RWO (repairable write off) bikes and repair them, they've basically stopped now.

HAS HAD AN ADDITIONAL "SENTINEL WARRANTY PLAN" TAKEN OUT ON THE VEHICLE FOR 60 MONTHS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE

Lol, except for the front left corner being smashed to shit...

Who's stripping an AXIS for the track; you might as well start with one of these...

Is the owner of this car on SAU?

Didn't someone dinged his AXIS a few months ago?

I dont think they're on here. That car has been off the road for a while. I think Angus Smart posted about it when it was up for sale last time. You might be thinking of the silver Axis that went through pickles 6 or so months ago, that was up on M35Stagea.info for discussion. Went for over 3k at auction iirc

This axis has been on fleabay a few times now. Last time it was towards the end of last year and it did sell. I assume the buyer didn't end up paying as its the same guy listing it for sale again. I can't remember what it did sell for though. This seller must buy a lot of repairable write off cars from auction and try to on sell on fleabay for a quick profit. He has a heap of cars for auction and all apparently needing stuff all work.

Well it seems my old stagea has officially been written off.

Suggest all the SA lads keep an eye on the auctions and local wreckers.

Might be able to score yourselves some dayz carbon accessories and kit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
