hey all, my names daniel, and im getting a starion this weekend, its in fair condition, only thing is it has been sitting for a few years so will need a massive clean up, it has had the turbo replaced with a second hand unit, and it has working aircon i have been told which is cool,
\
im only buying this as a daily as i have a 1jz swapped ma70 supra which i crashed earlier this year,

here are the pics of the car







CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH?????????

and what model it is anyhelpappreciated thanks!!!!!

daniel

It's a JA - 1982/1983.

What's it worth? Well not much judging by those pics. Under a $1000 for sure.

Just needs a massive clean up and some tlc and shell be worth a bit more mang

Not to put you off Starions, but this may not turn out to be the most reliable daily you could find if that's what you need.

Power steering/engine oil leaks and a dirty/clapped out fuel system will probably be your first issues. Fortunately it doesn't look like it had any major rust problems before it was parked under that tree.

tri spoke wheels = awesomeness :beer

Another Staz found!!!

What is the build date / comp date and the last 4 digits of the VIN number?

:beer

Ill have a look tonight for ya mate hope it starts well its been sittin for a few years lol, should drive well hoprfully

On another note I have been researching does ja come with lsd at all in any option?

Check the build plate the LSD option is D60

pretty sure no ja came out with an lsd only jb had the option and jd were factory im pretty sure that right.

Hi Daniel, welcome to our forum.
I will be in Adelaide next Monday & Tuesday, so might be able to catch up for a chat about Starions. PM sent.

ok well i got it started took ten seconds lol!!! also drove it round the block, it needs a wheel alignment, it boosted well, suprisingly, alsoit has a snapped swaybar link rubber bracket other than that its ok

should come up nice with a good polish. good to see another person in adelaide with a staz.. should catch up for a meet sometime

I believe from memory JA series two came with the LSD option.

Since it has been sitting around for a while, I suggest that you give it a thorough clean...and I don't mean the outside. Start with the fuel system - check the tank for internal corrosion, check the fuel lines for cracks, check the injectors/ECI system for leaks, change the fuel filter.

Oils: - engine & filter - change; gearbox & diff - check and replace if necessary

Check the radiator and all water hoses. Also, the water pipe that goes round the back of the block on the drivers side from the water pump - these often corrode.

Check radiator and flush/top up if necessary.

Power steering - check for leaks and cracks in both solid and flexibile pipes/hoses.

Check wheels bearings and brakes.

Rust is common, check the usual spots like bottom of guards and rear 1/4's; around window sills and also the bottom of the doors. Also on the body just below the doors.

With a good clean up this car will come up quite well. Another Starion saved :)

Have fun and welcome to Austarion :D

^^^ I second everything Nxtime said. You were very lucky it started at all given it had been sitting. The fuel systems normally block up on these, especially if there's crap in the tank. If it were mine I'd drop the tank & clean it, replace the in tank fuel strainer, clean the pump wire filter, blow out the lines & replace the fuel filter. And run some fuel system cleaner as well to clean the injectors, maybe even run some carby cleaner into the fuel line so the injectors get a clean too.
Don't reuse the fuel either, save it for your mower!
