Hi all

As stated, anyone know about this 260rs on carsales?

I emailed the seller via the carsales network and get different stories about the car when i emailed the same seller when he/she advertised this car on Gumtree.

At first, it's got a fully built engine to Nur Spec, then it's got an R34 gtr engine, then it's got a standard R33 gtr engine ......... wtf. When i confront he/she in the last email with all the different info that he/she gave me via difference networks, i never got an answer.

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Stagea-1999/SSE-AD-3563022/?Cr=3

At the same time, if anyone here thinking of letting go of their 260rs, please inbox me.

Thanks

That thing looks mint. Get it checked by someone who knows then, assuming it's good, throw a low ball offer at him.

Interior trim around the A/C controls, key barrel and passenger front door looks terrible.

Passenger door has either been replaced or resprayed (Most evident in the first photo).

"exterior is in showroom condition and the interior is practically brand new" hahaha, yeah right.

Advertised as 1999 but described as 2000

"Car is 100% stock standard with no modifications from factory". Those aren't factory seats, grille, N1 style bumper vents or wheels.

I thought all 260's had the momo steering wheel ?

That car just doesn't look right at all.

Passenger door could have had the rust fixed. All Stags rust under the mirror. Owner might have cared enough to fix it which is possibly a good sign.

I got my car with 130,000ks on it and the steering wheel had a hole in it. My brand new Nissan Pulsar has 30,000ks and the steering wheel is already very worn in the same area. Nissans seem to have an issue with their steering wheels (never had the issue in other cars).

There are potentially valid reasons for most of what you have pointed out. Also most people use "stock" to explain mechanical condition, not body kits.

I'm sorry but when someone advertises a car saying "Exterior is in showroom condition and the interior is practically brand new" you don't expect to see mismatched paint and chunks taken out of interior trims.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
