Unfortunately due to bad sales in winter my business is having some short term cash-flow issues... Which means my Stagea may have to go.

Which sux as I will surely buy another in a few months time when things are not so tight!

I have had a quick look on the forums and car sales etc, but don't know what a fair price for my car would be.

Realistically I know I will never get back what I have put in. But what would be a fair list price for this:

It has been babied, garaged and serviced every 5,000 with the best oils etc and is in exceptional condition.

2001 M35 250 RS with Factory Aero Kit (Inc the wing!)

Modifications:

Kakimoto R Exhaust - cat back

BC Coil-overs

Selby adjustable Sway Bars

sweet stag, im looking in a few months but not yet:( ive been looking and doing research on prices and mods etc and yeah i think around the 17 mark is on the ball. Thats what id be happy to pay when the time comes with one like that, only prob is no sunroof which might turn a few people off. i do like yours better with that interior rather than the leather.

hope sale goes well. maybe ill go to bank and see if i can get cash now

I'm certainly interested also if its around the $17k mark and will have finance in place in a couple of weeks, or worst case end of month.

Have you done any maintenance on the turbo or dump pipe as I’ve read that these are susceptible to failure around the 100k km mark?

But again, certainly keen and will be in contact in a couple of weeks if you decide to go ahead with the sale.

Given the obvious interest in the vehicle, Id say $17k would be undervaluing it. However at such a price it looks like you'd be ensured a fast sale. Hold on to it if you can mate, its obvious you've put a lot of work in to it!

With what little I know of M35s, I'd say $17k would be what you ask, as is, if you needed a quick sale.

Obviously you know your situation better than I, but do the sums carefully. Is liquidating the Stag the most cost effective way to inject some cash into your business? You are no doubt going to end up way out of pocket as you won't get back nearly what you have put into it. Add in the costs of selling and then one day buying another and I'm willing to predict there are much more cost effective ways to source some cash, such as a Line of Credit or Personal Finance or something to that effect. Worst case is you can always sell the Stag later if things do not pick up and you need to cover the LoC.

A personal loan will cost you principal + say 10% if it takes you a year to square it off. That's $1000. Are you going to lose more than that by selling the Stag? I'll predict yes, by a lot.

But, again, you obviously know your situation much, much better than I (as I know nothing about your individual circumstance).

Such a shame Benny; yours is my favourite NM35.:wub:

Except for mine.:D

Is there no other alternative? I don't need a new bike, or any sexy bits right now, so I can't help you that way either.:/

Perhaps a merciless internet spam advertising campaign would help; I'm sure it works with Viagra...

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

The Pro S is a tuned ECU as iamhe77 said, no speed limit, higher rev limit, higher boost and timing changes too I believe.

At the moment its not 100% yet that I will have to sell this as I am working on alternative finance avenues, but should push come to shove I wanted to know what would be a fair price for my beloved Stagea.

Aaron, check his sig... mountain bike gear! http://www.ribbed.com.au/

Doh!

Thanks >_<

Myself and a few of my friends are in the market for new bikes. I shall check it out.

Unfortunately a few others have already bought bikes recently - would have been good to direct them to Ribbed as they all spent between $2k and $5k.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
