As far as i know Autech only madr 121 of the autechs as 260rs. And i know where is the last one 121 is!!! Its a custom made 260rs and its the only autech with sunroofs on and the engine is tined to 500hp. I suspect its tuned by Nismo called the rb26 Z2 version.

MR GTR's is for sale right now, build number 121 (he claims only 121 built). i saw it on ebay 38k im sure someone wants it considering its freaking awesome, not sure if its for sale elsewhere, im sure he can talk it up better then i can.

here is the link hope it works if not, not too hard too find.

isnt that a bit dodgy that it has never been complied considering that you cant have the car in the country for longer than 1 year without it being complied if it was purchased for road use.

is there any way to use nissan fast to check how many vin no's were issued for the autech models?

it needs a personal import plate but i dont know if there are time limits on personal import plates like there is on sevs

but yeah i agree definately a hot car would like to know what is so special about it other than the supposed super dooper suspension and fmic and what does the interior look like

121 sounds abit low to me, ive seen plenty of different ones at jap auction sites for the past 12 months and theres atleast 10 or so in oz so surely 90% cant be for sale or in oz already? oh and browsing SWAT japan sites there seems to be plenty of them in the club as well.

whats to say its even a genuine 260rs

and jusding by how many series 1 260's that come up at auction I dont believe that there is only 121 maybe thats how many series 2 models were made but altogether for both hmm i think not

Ok

I have edit my last post

My only advise to anyone buying "any car" of a dealer or private, for you to do your background checks and be satisfied with what you are purchasing

I would like to openly apologise to anyone for my last post :D

:D naughty Darrin :rofl:

Well all I can say is that car is pretty much what I would be looking for if I was to ever replace my stagea ( Series II Black 260rs ) and for 38k is pretty good priced...

Haha does Mr GTR want to trade for my series II RS Four S :P

I should have an answer to the quantity question very soon as I have a contact who is in japan with MR Autech himself (obviously not his real name).

You mean the owner of Autech or the desinger for 260rs?

:D naughty Darrin :(

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
