97 Nissan Stagea RSFour Series 1 (Tas or Vic)

Hey guys,

Got my 97 Stag for sale for very regrettable reasons (losing my leg + new baby on the way). I haven't owned it that long, about a year or so. Bought it not-running and a fellow member helped me get everything sorted (i'll let him chime up if he wants to be known). Few blown gaskets and basically had been sitting unused for a very long time. It's now purring like a kitten, and very close to perfect. 

Fresh rego until January 2018. Recently serviced, CV boots replaced, a few gaskets replaced, and everything checked over.

Original and mostly-stock RB25DET with a few basic bolt ons. Front mount intercooler, BC coilovers, Rota 17" wheels on good tyres, Nismo style bodykit, turbo timer, various other bits and pieces. Clarion head unit with bluetooth/DVD/DivX/etc. Pioneer subwoofer/amp in Pioneer Competition box. Has some rarer original factory bits like the original floor mats, cargo net, cargo shade, and more.

It's a 20 year old car, so it has a few loose interior bits and stuff like that, but it's mechanically solid, straight, no rust, and has some decent parts in it. Handles like it's on rails and scares the little kiddies at the lights.

Only faults I can think of is it has a lazy oxygen sensor so runs sporadically lean/rich in mid-range sometimes, and the brake master cylinder needs replacing because it has sat for years. It drives, stops, and all the important stuff is fine. It could be made perfect for a couple hundred bucks and a weekend, but I've run out of time and motivation, and I'm about to move to Vic to get my leg chopped off. 

I'm happy to sell it to a local at a cheaper price, or negotiate something to get it to the mainland (eg I can sell the plates separately and refund the rego to fund a transport truck to the mainland, and you end up paying similar to list price). 

$7500 Neg. (03) 6295 0301 (until 9pm, leave a message if I don't answer, can't always get to phone quick enough due to leg).

I bought one of these when I had a baby on the way.  Great family car.

Sorry to hear about your leg, dude.

Cheers mate. It's a great car that's practical but still lots of fun, it's just too low seating-position for me to get in/out comfortably, so sticking with the Elgrand and will probably supercharge it.

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.

      100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)

      Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
