Copied and pasted from my Ebay listing.. Freshly Imported from Japan, arrived last week! Nissan Stagea M35 250T RS (4WD Auto/triptronic) Year : 2004 Engine : 2.5L VQ25DET Colour : Metallic Silver/Grey Mileage : 101,00KM =63,000 Miles This car is currently in the process of being registered and will come with 12 months MOT and UK plates. Features: Amazing VQ25DET engine 4 Wheel drive with Snow/Lock mode Automatic with 5 speed triptronic mode HID headlights Upgraded factory speakers Kenwood CD (MP3/WMA) and Minidisc head unit Tinted rear windows Split rear opening for Boot/Glass Air deflectors Many parts are shared with the 350z and X-trail..so parts aren't to hard to source. This car is one of a handful in the UK and is the perfect combination of Power and Practicality with 4 doors, a huge boot and 280 BHP/ 300lbs Torque thanks to the impressive VQ25DET engine. The car is mechanically sound and considering its just over 10 years old its in really good condition. Saying that please be aware this is a used car so it does have scratches and minor dings which is typical for a car of this age. I am looking for £5250 which I believe is great value since I have seen others being advertised and sold for £5500-6000 for 2002 models..Please keep in mind this is a 2004 car. The car is based in Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.
Alarmingly I've been looking at these recently as a winter hack! - any ideas on likely MPG, I'm guessing comparable to my old r33 with the RB25det ???
lot better than the RB25 mate. My R33's use to give me 15 mpg around town, sub 20 driving like a granny... on this around town I get mid 20s and around 35 mpg on a long run ( M35's have VQ engines not RB's)
Cheers. I knew these were the vq engine, just never seen any 'real world' figures on fuel... My rb25 experiences sound very similar to yours!!!
I think you guys need some inspiration of what you can turn this Stagea into.. And if you really want to go nuts...
Is there anything that pops out of the dash or anything like a tv screen or sat nav? I love this car, but the dash is just, well, i think Cold play could write a song about it it's so depressing. Exterior is killer.
