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.

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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
