I cant help but ask after reading the whole thread as to why you did not just buy a autech 260RS Stagea instead of this car you own now? Its already a manual, it has brembo brakes and an RB26DETT as from the factory.

Yeah. I hear Darren at just Jap owns a 260rs. So I will give em a call.

Thanks mate. I thought this would be the case. Do you know of WHERE in Japan I could buy one? Is there a website? Where do YOU buy your 260RS parts?

As per the title. Does anyone know where I can purchase a 260RS Bodykit from? Mine is looking rather second hand after a run in with a concrete kerb . Actually, if anyone knows of a place that sells any Stagea 260RS parts, that'd be great too. Its hard to find any parts for these vehicles! I am thinking of getting a full respray as the paint is showing its 12years of age in a few spots on the car so may need a couple of other bits and pieces.

Crack is now fixed. Good call though old mate. Will update the advert this evening after I get home from work.

I have some HKS stainless steel exhaust manifolds for sale on ebay. These are off my current car and going cheap. They are a direct bolt on replacement for the stock standard cast iron manifolds. Grab yaself a bargain!!! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330550675912&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156

I am gunna buy one sometime soon. It kooks fookin cool. Tough as. Just wish it was a little bit cheaper. Can anyone recommended some good Jap car parts sites in America. May be worth a look whilst the dollar is so high at the moment!?

Oh... you know... Only $549aus...

50psi would be absoluley shithouse for handling!!. You need some degree of flex in the sidewall to allow the tyre to do its job and get traction. Watch the video from 40sec mark.

Must handle like a dog on tiles.

You must have good suspension to compensate your tyres which are as hard as concrete!! Must be bloody slippery in the wet/rain with those pressures.

I was runing 34psi but after a run down Putty road on the weekend it was too rough with the coil overs. So on the return trip, i lowered em to 28psi. Car was much better to drive and not quiet as rough. Still handled the corners beautifully!! I run these tyres: http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/Passenger-Car/Azenis-RT-615K-14

Does anyone know of a titanium gear knob similar to this? Or where I can buy one of these Zele ones?: I want one so bad. But its a little bit expensive. Is there one that is similar for less dollars? Or seeing as the dollar is so against the USA at the moment, is there a jap parts shop in the USA that I can buy stuff online from? Will even consider a second hand one.

Pffft... Something aint right here... then again, EVERYTHING on my 260RS tells me its a genuine autech except when you run the VIN through FAST. The correct info got lost in "translation".???

I'd be keen to attend this event. Pencil me in!!

Have you got a 260RS? ^^^. Because I have two mines ecu's i am about to sell. One of em is from my car which the Apexi power FC replaced.

I am using a Turbosmart e-boost2. Left all the tuning up to Blacktrack performance so I dont really know exactely what they did to the car. Halfwayhouse is open again. I am goin down to Kurrajong on Friday so will check for sure. Yeah, they stuffed some of the speed limits. But I did the Putty up to three times in a week in my 99 SSS pulsar when I got my new job in the Mines before my missus moved up and I have rarely seen a cop on it. they only give it a floggin on sundays when all the city boys on their Yamaha R1's wrap emselves around trees...

Just GTR N1 turbos. Nothin special...

Yeah, 260RS's are a good thing a good proven platform to begin with (R33 GTR). Its just a shame its a 12 year old car. I really like that style of car (260RS), but it would be nice if it was a fair bit newer. I have NEVER seen one of the newer Stagea's before. I am VERY happy with the horse power. Its bloody fast! I need to meet some of you guys one day. Let me know if you guys are up for a Putty road drive one day and i will come down to Windsor and cruise back up with ya's. Mid week is also good for me if any of you are shift workers (plus there is no Police during the week).

N1 GTR turbos. Apexi power FC Turbosmart e-boost2 BP ultimate bigger cams Adjustable cam gears. 3inch exhaust. Bigger fuel injectors. Bigger fuel rail. Thats about all i know the car has on it, as I purchased it with alot of stuff already being done to it.

Picked my Stagea up from Blacktrack Performance at Thornton today and I am very happy with the results!! Car is running 19PSI of boost to make 415BHP. I cant beleive how bloody quick it is. I gotta get this beast on a race track ASAP!!

Go and buy a packet of matches or a new lighter... http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTlADb2OJb8-wQvSZIgxoV_q9oB0owiPix5oK1DaEUoHU1l-FN9 http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSWJP9mlhrRXM0jTPpLJAEGogq_dWbXHJcO_cSGdOBg7fGtslGf

Very interesting! I have NEVER heard of a Stagea with that on its plate.

Wicked pic mate!! Well done.

Its the first time that I have heard of that.
