Hey guys,

If any of your mates or family members or what-not like your Stag's and decide they'd like one, mine is for sale.

I have put up a $500 spotters fee for anyone who refers the person that ends up buying the car.

Its a 98 model series 2, 42,000kms, as new inside and out, 100% mechanically perfect and a very very regretful sale :) But unfortunately, she has to go (buying a house).

$24,500 ono.

Thanks for your help. . Sam.

Just at a car yard 5yrs ago, Euctice Motorcity (ken eustice was n ex SANFL legend) for 15k with new tyres and real low kms, and Ive kept the kms low and mod'd it nicely.

I bought it when I was 22, but to this day never had it sideways or did burnouts, or silly things like that. Very clean car; it gets picked up in half an hour!

The BT1 is pretty much an Executive badged SS. Top car with the Pal-enhanced FE2 suspension, but still, the standard run of the mill Falcodore. Then again, my oldies tried to sell me their VT Calais V6, but frankly my VR V8 was SUCH a nicer car, better build quality, great handler, etc etc.

Sam, good luck with the sale of the S2 Stagea..... why? Such a nice car, pity you're flogging it off! I adore my S1 Stagea, I reckon they are top cars... pity its made for Japanese and not my 201cm tall body!

..although the KM's probably aren't helping you - A member rang me about your car before I'd seen the post, and said "$25K, 42000km,.." and the first thing I said was "in QLD?" See some of the other posts on the topic, it is very very very rare to get a car with that many K's from 1998, even in Japan. And if it did have that many, it would be noticably expensive!

So not saying you did, but someone before you has probably put the clock back, and anybody reading the add will be suspicious. If you have proof of them, you should post it as I reckon that will help your sale.. As will posting the original Japanese auction report...

Of course, may not make any difference...

Edit: and I should say the km's should be irrelevant for anyone looking at a car anyway, look at it's condition etc. skylines/stageas are only starting to be 'run in' at 100,000kms, and I would call them "high km's" until well over 200,000. They were just built so well it doesn't matter (someone I know has recently clocked over 500,000 in his R30, with the only 'major' problem new fuel injectors abotu 100,000k's ago...).

So look at the car, and ignore the km's...

You can see by looking at the car in person that the k's are genuine. The steering wheel, shifter, seats, everything looks brand new! there is not a single mark on anything on the whole car, thats why I believe it is genuine. No scratches or anything, anywhere.

When i got in the car for the first time i could not believe it! I seriously thought it was brand new!

I will see what is amongst all the importation documents i recieved with the car.

I didnt think digital odometers can be wound back?

Yep, real easy for people who know how. Just look at some of the import yards (particularly in QLD..) - all the cars (from 1990 to 1999) have 45K plus or minus 10K...

You should get the original Japanese auction sheet, as there is a fair chance it hasn't been changed before then...

(see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=87300 for an example....)

its not just the dealer that winds back the clock. i am sure its a lot easier for a japanese person to find a stagea console then a dealer in australia, so generally it would happend at the auction/dealer yard in japan..

well, so i find with all these 15yo imports with under 100,000 on the clock... BS!

Yeah I have a mate who bought an r32 4 door last week with a "genuine" 31 000km's....Yeah right

i sold an 89 r32 4 door with 55,000 genuine!!!..would put my left and even the right nut on it..have a 260e 1990 with 55,000 both cars with full history documents...it all comes back to the oz buyer and who there dealing with in japan,genuine low k cars are there and can be bought if you understand that the 29klm cars at the yards should be 6-7grand more if they were genuine

Mine had a genuine very low kms... guy said it didnt have service history so i was a bit suss but got it anyway and then found the service books stuck under the seat - all filled out and stamped as logbook services in Japan - was thrilled!

By the way its for sale! Now a genuine 60,000kms - series 2 neo6 and if someone offered me $23,000 Id probably take it im that desperate to offload it! Got my little Datsun Roadster now to do up - need the repayments off my back to get started on the little beast :(

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
