PRICE: 17,000 EOI

SWAPS: R34 GT-T, JZX100, Audi A4, SS ute (MUST BE CLEAN - I AM A FANATIC SO NO ROUGH CARS PLEASE)

CONTACT: Via PM or O438 32O 369

Hey guys,

An EOI at the moment – i’ve only had this car for 6 months and it is absolutely flawless and a fantastic vehicle - heaps of useable power, unbelievable traction – but I drive it every day 40km’s round trip in peak hour traffic to and from work – the constant stop start driving and pumping the clutch has stuffed my lower back on one side and there isn’t much I can do about it.

So I need to sell it and buy something auto, or swap it for the right car with a lighter driveline.

PRICE: 16,500 EOI

SWAPS: R34 GT-T, JZX100, Audi A4, SS ute

- 1999 Stagea Type S(Factory Manual, which has all the good bits of the RS260 only no gtr engine and brembos. Gets LSD, stronger drive shafts, and thicker swaybars over the auto versions)

- 2nd OZ owner bought car 3 years ago at 58,000km currently has trouble free 110,000kms.

- Car has dyno sheets for 200rwkw, and receipts for over 6k of new parts.

- Has not missed a beat, and paint is flawless, as is interior. I clean it twice a week and serviced with only the best fluids every 10,000kms.

Also has a lot of hard to find options such as:

- Full Dayz body kit and Dayz lower foglights.

- twin sunroofs (no leaks)

- electronic tailgate closer

- factory xenon headlights

- rear cargo net and blind

It had a major service at 89,000kms by Chasers the works e.g. Cambelt, Water pump, all fluids, plugs....just been freshly serviced at 110km with Motul, Trust filter and Rego till June 2011.

SPECS:

R33 Gts-t Brake Conversion (Slotted Rotors and Rebuilt Calipers, Project Mu pads for front and rear)

Greddy Coilovers (custom uprated Eibach springs in the rear to support heavier wagon rear)

Greddy rear strut brace

Greddy Front Mount

Greddy Blow Off Valve

Greddy alloy Shifter

Greddy/Trust Airinx Filter

Greddy E-Manage Ultimate (Tuned by Status 200rwkw with sheets)

Fujitsubo Front Pipe and Cat Back

Gizzmo Electronic Boost Control

Pivot Shift Lamp

Pivot Speed Meter

Stewart Warner 15psi Boost Gauge

Kenwood CD Player

Viper Remote Start Alarm with Pager

19 Inch genuine Axis Hiro Rims - Kumho Tyres good tread.

Nismo Sideskirts (Still have factory ones if your interested)

Whiteline Subframe kit

I'm looking for around 16,500 - which when you add up the costs of these mods, is a bargain compared to what importers are asking for bone stock cars with no service history.

If you're interested in having a look i'm located in southbank, melbourne – but I’m a busy person, so no timewasters or jet pilots. Contact vic PM or O438 32O 369

bumpski.

car will be going in to chasers for a tidy up tune shortly.

would be interested in swapping for something around the 10-12k mark with cash on top so i can fund an O/S trip mid year.

bump.

this car will be going on carsales this week - it will be the first time the car has been publically advertised outside this forum since being imported.

don't miss your chance at one of the cleanest stags in oz!

thanks, this thing constantly turns heads in traffic - most people giving me the 'WTF is that' look, and others who obviously know what it is just have a huge grin - i think people appreciate something different.

have bought 15mm spacers for the rear to get the wheels flush to the gaurds.

car will also be getting a de-cat pipe and a tidy up tune at chasers in the coming weeks.

not so much interested in SWAPS anymore as will have the use of my brother's legacy wagon while he goes o/seas for 12 months - but make an offer.

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 2 months later...

Car still for sale?

I know you said you're not looking at swaps so much any more, but you wouldn't be interested in a 5.0L VSIII Caprice by any chance? Would save me selling it. Auto, V8, be a bit of a change for you but it's damn comfortable. I know when my mum injured her shoulder adjusting the seat was painful so one consideration she had when looking for a new car was electric seats, I imagine that'd be a bonus for someone with a bad back as well?

My ad says $7500, but we all know that's a bit of a laugh.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
