Hey Adam, Reading through the thread on what you did, i would have to agree with Roo, to me it sounds like you have bent valves, as others have said with plugs out you should be able to turn the motor over with minimal force. By the time you try fault finding it would be quicker to just pull the head off.

May consider part swap, cheap daily and cash my way.

Ok i was apparently naughty and didnt list the actual details of the car on here, so here goes! Vehicle: 1997 Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech Version Has done 94,000kms. Has rego til July.

Hey guys, If anyone is interested i have a full dolphin style kit from blits bodykits sitting in my shed at the moment, its the full kit to suit a series one stag, front bar, rear bar, side skirts and the rear wing, its all brand new and never been fitted, I've had it for about 6 months now and haven't had the time to do anything with it, if anyone is interested in taking it off my hands then give me a yell on 0403 737 165 and make an offer! Im located on the north side of adelaide. I also have a standard issue rear wing sitting there aswell if anyone is keen on that. Cheers Ben

Geez some of you guys have a short memory, i work for Tonkins! And yes we stock Viper alarms. We fit a heap and dont have any problems with them, and kahli, im not sure where you got your info from, but they wouldnt be easy to get around at all, especially with the siren screaming its head off! The best thing you can do is check with your insurance company in regard to what requirements they list, most list for an immobiliser and thats it, which any decent alarm will have inbuilt.

Just thought i would mention, even though i thought it would have been obvious from the ad, but someone has asked.... The car is located in Adelaide.

Nice to see another 260 in adelaide, could have saved yourself a trip and just bought mine though! lol! Although, mines not so stock! haha!

Theres definitely alot more room in the e85 tuning, my series one 260RS has had major power gains since tuning on e85, the extra octane allows for alot more timing without pinging. On 98 pump fuel i was making 313rwkw on 19psi, and at that stage it started to pick up a bit of pinging, so we decided to retune on e85 to see the difference. After a retune and seeing the power potential, extra timing and extra boost saw the power leap to 370rwkw on 25psi. We have since done a safe tune on 22psi making 350rwkw. I do have a full forged build though!

Hey guys, just as an incentive, im prepared to pay a $500 spotters fee to ayone that helps sell the car, so tell your mates about it!

Thanks guys, its definitely a whole lot of fun! Simon technically your 260 could have mines motor, for the measly sum of $38,000! lol!

Thanks guys, yeah it will be a sad day when it goes and i will miss it dearly, and im losing a stack of dollars, but its necessary at this point in time to secure bigger financial plans, and plus down the line it will give me leverage with my wife... "but honey, i needed to sell the 260 to buy you this lovely new house, and now that we have equity can i have a 35GTR?" lmao!

Check the link for details! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/19...rs-t311541.html Cheers Ben

Well boys and girls, The time has come for me to say goodbye to my 260RS, alot of dollars have been spent on this car to get it to the point where it is now, at the advertised price I'm losing alot of money, but thats your gain. The price is negotiable so don't be afraid to make a reasonable offer. Check the link from carsales for details. Buying a new house so with much regret the toys have to go. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...2&silo=1011 Im hopeless on computers, may need to copy and paste that link! PM me for any details, or contact me as per the details on the carsales site on 0403 737 165 Cheers Ben

Ah sweet, should be an interesting day then!

Thats enough from you roo, wooden spoon again for you i say! If i could be bothered i'd bring the white 260 down for stock and not so stock comparison! lol! Anyone know what sort of power nigels gtr is making? And is Micks 33gtst the one that makes ridiculous amounts of power?

Thats perfect for me! Cheers! Next question... what sort of power figures is everyone hoping for????

As subtle as a sledgehammer to the groin.... lol

I'm having the same problem finding one for a 1997 RS4, tie rod ends are worn and i want to replace them, but i dont want to pay the ridiculous genuine nissan price if i can avoid it! Can anyone tell me if they are the same as a 33gtst etc?

Or you could just buy my white 1997 260RS Autech version which has the same running gear as a 33GTR! Much more power potential right there! lol!

I do have access today, im not in the city store roo! If its around 10am that should work ok for me, let me know when you sort it out totally!
