Trying to gauge some interest in my motor, not sure what its worth so im trying to sell it for less than half of what ive put into it.

Engine is Non turbo, Has RB30block with JUN oil pump and crank collar, just installed, havent done more than 200kms on it. RB25de Pistons with stock rods, Fully balanced bottom end. The head is a RB25 turbo VCT head with reground cams and oversize valves and some minor headwork done before i bought it. the engine has been rebuild and is no more than 1000-2000 km old. Has a twin throttle body intake with progressive style throttles. this has cost me over $10k

Haltech PS 1000 will be included as will be all wiring, so essentially you bolt in and go.

Will come with the custom made extractors and race pipe, these extractors were made to suit the motor, completley custom cost around $4000 if i recall correctly. they were made in the VL commodore so they will clear the skyline as the VL is more tighter. will come with the 3" side pipe which was another $500

Ill throw in the gearbox, just a standard MX5 manual with an excedy heavy duty clutch put in with new engine, so again 1000-2000kms done on it too.

There may be more ive forgotten to add. if any questions feel free to PM me.

Price $8000 neg. Car makes around 210kw at the engine so the same as a new commodore to compare and around 350nm. Located in sydney.

You mentioned you are trying to sell for less than half of what you put into it.

I'm really curious why you would sink so much money into the engine, when it really makes hardly any power?

I understand that some people want to be different, but was there any other goal? Eg particular race class that the engine would fit into?

My mate had his SV6 dynoed at the same place, he has a exhaust and CAI - and just over 30% loss was calculated. and im pretty sure i remember them saying is a 30% loss roughly depending on car. its a HUB dyno. I was hoping it would be a good allrounder on the track but you really need to rev its tits off to get it to go.... in a street car it would be mad fun, take it to the drags it pulls 14 seconds flat. i havent done better....just not trackable how it is. if it doesnt sell soon ill probably turbo it. ill see what happens first

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
