Hey guys,

My car has cost me about $10k more than I expected. I've decided I'd like to move and go on holidays and do all the other things people do when they make good money but don't have a hi-po car.

Basically I've re-wired it and replaced *SO* much stuff that the car is now freaking perfect (apart from the head gasket).

I will be rebuilding the head before selling the car.

It is basically in great condition from all the stuff that HAS gone wrong with it. Infact it's the best shape it's probably ever been in Australia.

So the question is.. I realise I can't make my money back on it but what do you think my car would be worth?

I paid $15.5k

Done about $10k stuff to it to fix up the dodginess and upgrades.

Will be reco'ing the head.

What's a fair price considering almost everyone on here can vouch for this car being my baby and having everything fixed with TLC and in good nick?

Personally Id like to be able to sell my ceffy one day for actual real money. So can you do the same with yours so the market stays ok.

I would think as yours is kinda a one of a kind, you have done the right stuff with the stereo etc as well, I would try $17k and take offers.

CC! you haven't even drifted it yet!!

It seems like a really hard time to sell things at the moment. there are r33s for 12 grand, R32s for 8 grand and every man and his dog is trying to sell a ceff. dont know why. i guess we are all a bit sick of spending every cent we earn on our stupid powerful cars. Of corse i cant talk as i have already sold mine.

but you might have more luck taking your car to some drift days and having a go. As soon as some people see yourcar in action it will generate some interest. Thats how i sold my car. There were 3 guys interested in it and they were all wanting to get into drift. Alot of thepeople asking about it on the internet were 14 year old kids dreaming about owning a HiPo car.

Your car is something special and will only be bought by a drift enthusiast. you could also advertise it on www.toymods.org.au as an alternative to a stupidly priced underpowered but very fashonable Hachi...

But your car is worth 17k.

I'd be lookin around that price without xenons, audio, ebc, bride seat, alarm ;)

I know I haven't drifted it yet. I need a helmet, once it's on the track it means I'll have to install the gauges too plus morally I don't want to thrash it if I know I'm getting rid of it.

Happy to look at 16k without any of the stuff to 19k-20k with all rebuilt head with cams and all parts I don't have installed on it yet (oil coolers, greddy gauges etc etc).

It's all optionable baby :D

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
