It still ends up about the same as buying from japan, but thats a very tidy example. If its still for sale in 3-5 months might buy it myself.

wow lady driver forthe 260rs!!!

Man, stageas are a f**king addiction.

maybe if i just buy a 260rs now, make around 250awkw drive that as a daily for a while I can get over them, but for the moment P-plate legal RB26 manual car is really attractive.

Anyone thought about an auto conversion on a 260rs? :dry:

i will shoot you if you myself if you do it Alex :dry:

auto 260rs would be the biggest waste

NO

hell no.

Im thinking of it all the time (260rs with auto, lol).

depends on your parameters that you have to work within:

Im over 2meters tall= means dont fit in auto stagea very well let alone a manual stagea

had 9 knee surgeries and counting= means manual is an impossibility, pretty much

auto 260rs would be "faster" in traffic than a manual.

But Ive come to the conclusion Im better off sticking to my 30k budget for my Project: Steath Wagon, and get it into to Stagea 200 club. Have a happy car, with nice stealthy looks, modifications to mags, suspn, brakes, stereo, auto, engine, tuning. Dont need a 260rs to fulfill those (my) requirements.

Id be scared to "try" to add a automatic gearbox to a RB26dett brick. >_<

speed magazine put an rb26 in an r33 auto sedan they killed the transmission pretty quick they were sending it off for a rebuild and a higher stall converter think they used the ecu from the donor car to run the engine and auto was set up stand alone so nothing is impossible

i think we already had a discussion on putting the auto on the back of the RB26DETT. no computer is available to run the setup, so the auto won't know when to change gears.

Changing gears isn't really the problem, the auto ecu takes care of that.

The real problem is not shift logic for ignition cut and/or retard in the engine ecu (PFC etc)

That makes the changes harsh and wears the gearbocx prematurely.

:wave: cheers :O

turkboy, isnt the start price of the bidding a winning price? I dont see any reserve...??

on another note 20NZD = 16.5AUD

No, not quite. Buy Now is obvious but the starting bid can be anything they want it to be same with the reserve. They probably have the reserve at about the same price as the Buy Now anyway

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
