Hi guys,

I'm selling my 2 Stagea's. Basically I have my daily drive which is a '97 Silver RS4 and I bought a complete parts car off eBay earlier last year which I was going to transfer most of the parts over to my daily then sell off the left overs. But now we are relocating and I'm going to be travelling a lot longer to work so I'm going to need something cheaper to run. And I'm just not going to have room for 4 cars to take with me. And I doubt if I will ever have the time to finish this now. So its all got to go.

Specs for both cars:

Daily Drive.

RB25DET

1997 Silver RS4 220,xxxkms (a bit high but at least they're genuine)

Full Nismo body kit

18' Rays Genome wheels

Auto (fitted with MV Automatics shift kit)

3" Turbo back exhaust

Brand new black return flow FMIC

Factory air box (have a pod for it as well)

Splitfire coil packs and iridium plugs

HKS BOV with return feed fitted

Whiteline springs and Bilstein shocks (height adj) with brand new bump stops, dust covers and all other rubber parts and bushes replaced with genuine Nissan items from Japan.

All suspension bushes through out the car have been recently replaced with urethane items (camber adjustable where applicable) including steering racks, all suspension arms, castor rods etc.

S14 rear subframe fitted to allow bigger offset wheels.

R32 GTR brakes with DBA slotted rotors and ADR approved braided lines (currently only the front a fitted, haven't gotten to the rears yet).

Tie rod ends recently replaced.

Timing belt and water pump were done around 155,xxx

HKS turbo timer

Apexi SAFC and SITC fuel and ignition timing piggy backs

HID lights

Series 2 tail lights (not in pics but installed now)

Spare Car (please note this car was purchased as a parts car only, it is uncomplied and cannot be registered, ever!)

1997 bayside blue RS4

R34 front end conversion, fibreglass guards, genuine aluminium bonnet, genuine front bar and genuine GTR HID head lights (drivers side guard has a crack and will need repair, nothing huge though)

Late R33 RB26DETT

R33 GTR 5sp gearbox

R33 GTR ECU (may have an aftermarket tune on it, not sure)

Coilovers

17" wheels

twin pod filters

GTR intercooler and factory BOV's

heavy duty clutch (unsure of type)

aftermarket fuel pump (unsure of type)

clean interior with manual centre console (I've swapped most of the interior over to the silver car already)

Brand new battery

Just changed oil as well

Extra Parts to go with sale

260RS Diff

260RS front sump/diff

260RS/GTR rear drive shafts

Legallis R cat back exhaust (near new in box)

And heaps of misc parts, another FMIC kit, 4 stock stage wheels, just machine DBA slotted rotors (stock brake setup) with new racing gear pads, pod filters, more than I probably can't think of.

The spare car is complete and together and drivable. It runs great, starts first go, no smoke, drives great, gearbox is smooth and clutch is good. Over all the car isn't perfect. I had started stripping the car down ages ago when I first got it and have had to put it back together pretty quickly so the front end isn't as well aligned as when I got it (didn't care it was going on the other car anyway). Paint is peeling off the engine (common RB26 thing though). There is some damage to the lower lip on the front bar, the headlights need a good polish (they have yellowed) fibreglass guards will need some attention there is a crack in the drivers side guard (nothing too bad though).

The silver Stagea only has a couple of small issues, the passenger side steering rack end is getting a bit noisy (should have done them when I did the tie rod ends), passenger side front inner cv boot is split (both shafts were rebuilt about 2 years ago) and I didn't do the rear subframe bushes or diff mount bushes when I swapped the subframe (ran out of time) so there is a bit of vibration when accelerating hard. Also the S15 drive shafts I used are starting to wear out a bit and are getting a bit noisy. I didn't worry about fixing any of it because I have the 260RS diff and driveshafts to replace them and was going to do bushes when it was all out. Also it may show it the pics that the front bar is damaged. These are older pics, its since been replaced and painted. The rest of the body is pretty good for its age. There are small pin dents and scratches and the drivers side side skirt is cracked at the back but not badly.

Basically my plan was to swap the R34 front end, RB26 and Manual into my car and go from there. And part out what I wasn't using to recoup some of the cost. Like everyone says I don't want to abandon this project, I've owned the silver car for 8 years now and have put a lot of time and money into it. And fully intended on seeing it though. But with the change of circumstances its not going to happen.

So the price....I'm pricing this for a quick sale at $8000 for everything, the whole lot. I really want this to go all together and have someone finish what I'm not going to. I'm not interested in swaps of any kind so don't bother asking. I'm located on South side of Brisbane for the next 4 weeks. Car's can be viewed in the morning most week days and weekends. I'm prepared to sell to interstate buyers but buyer is to make all transport arrangements and is responsible for all costs involved, and payment is to be made and received in full before anything goes anywhere.

Also the silver Stagea is still my daily drive for now, but I will be selling it un registered.

I can be contacted on 0422 583 180 (call or text). If i'm at work I may not answer just leave a message.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
