Sorry but to add to the whole "I found a dodgy 260RS" part of this thread.....

http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/5766 - $24k :rolleyes:

Why dodgy? Until I read the wiki file I was unaware that S1 came with manual. But Autec S1, manual?

Why dodgy?

sorry but i dont buy bargains when i want something safe and reliable.

ill be in the market to pay around the 30-33k landed, complied and on road.

key emphasis needs to be made on reliable. RB26+high kilometers is a no go zone personally.

no, not always

I wanted to buy a cima off jspec and i said ok ill take it and they checked and it was already sold by another importer. sometimes the car is just gone so they mark it as paid/whatever.

on another note, just coz someone bought it doesnt mean they are on these forums my friend.

what did yours end up costing on road FMI

loving the 260's very nice indeed.

hey Ken, I think you may be mixing up the owner of Autech Tsukada (the famous japanese tuning shop: http://www.attkd.co.jp/index.html ) who was here recently (i met him whilst he was in sydney) with the Nissan Autech arm ( http://www.autech.co.jp/JP/index.html ). He doesn't work for nissan autech. he has his own seperate tuning business called autech. if you know what i mean. many people think they are one and the same. but he owns a workshop somewhere up near Tsukuba, I am planning to pay him a visit later this year. I loved the 32 he had at TAS earlier this year. He certainly seems to know his shit about tuning RB26s, but I dont think he will be able to tell you how many 260rs have been made.

yeah it's confusing hey!

Going to try and head over in october/november this year for a couple of weeks. I did say I wouldn't do the jan trip again next year, but never say never. so if you are going in jan shoot me a message and let me know where/when. :O

guys

I started this thread because I really did need some info. It seems to have been highjacked by personal chats about ads and things

If you want to chat about other topics how about pms or your own thread.

im actually starting to doubt on the figure tha i was supplied in regards on the production numbers 121 unit of 260rss. Look at jspec i think theres been at least 10 units on sale. But havent seen too much of the S2s though. i might be wrong.

From what we have been told there was over 700 S1 260rs's and only 121 S2's made..i think that would be pretty accurate dont see too many S2's 260rs out there! :laugh:

These figures are about in line with my observations :

1997 cars are rare but do exist ( production started around Nov)

1998 cars are much easier to find and are available in some number

1999 cars about the same no as 1998

After that they seem to be harder to find but possibly less come up for sale because people dont sell these so much with lower mileage

Now if anyone could find these production figures it would really help me (as well as being info that would interest all Rs 260 owners )

The problem is that all Stageas were given chassis numbers in the order they were made regardless of which model .

the 260rs's even have a rb25det engine plate on the firewall as they were transplanted after they come from nissan as a rb25 car (without engine). i found this on a 260rs for sale in perth and almost assumed it was a fake, but it wasnt and now a member on here owns it.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
