Hey guys, hoping no one would be interested in my car therefore me not bothering to sell it.

I've taken a leaf from Troy's book and realised how much $$$ maintaing our pride and joys involve. As most of u know the car hobby sucks u dry - not in a good way either.

Just about to get married, buy a house, support a child etc. I've tried justifying that we could sleep in the stagea... No go.

If it does go, hopefully it's to someone interstate or someone north side.. I couldn't stand to see it driven by someone else. :(

Details:

1999 series 2 Stagea RS4-S (therefore manual)

78,xxx kms

Rego til 04/13

My baaahhhdyy:

Ganador side mirrors

Dolphin eyelids

Dolphin sideskirts

Takero front bar

Not too sure what rear wing is

Original stagea boot may (ooohh ahh)

Parcel cover thingy <-- someone tell me

Under the bonnet:

RB25DET Neo

NGK Iridium sparks

Spitfire Coils

Airynx pod filter

Cooling Pro Stealth (black) FMIC

3" cat back

JJR Dump pipe

Venom 500 series cat

Shoes:

19" Work TE37 (minor grazes)

Achilles rubber <1000kms

BC VR coilovers

Handling (installed <1000km/s):

Whiteline front swaybar links

Whiteline rear heavy duty sway bar (BNR11XXZ)

Whiteline radius bushes

I'm looking to sell for around $16k considering some of the major minor mods are done.

Happy to hear from others if that's realistic.

^^^Good call. :D

Very Phat looking car mate, easily one of the toughest / nicest looking Stags I've seen and it would be a shame if you let it go but meh, priorities blah etc.

Either way, Good luck with it and the other stuff.

Thanks guys.

We couldn't justify having 2 cars and the stagea lucked out as the less viable car to keep.

Really, this will clear the remaining amount of my loan and money towards a deposit on a house.. and I'll tack on lil extra on the mortgage to get a GTR*.

(*Not discussed with missus)

Nah, you can't blame Troy - that Roos definately not going to headbutt any more Skylines Karl.

I think the blame clearly lands at the feet of others and their needs for shelter, food, water and sensible transport. They carry on like that stuff matters - Meh

Don't worry tho - when they all leave you in 18yrs and child support payments are over you can start buyin big boys toys again :)

BTW a brother or sister of that Skippy did hit another car early this morning along the same stretch.

Sad seeing traffic just change lanes and keep going.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
