I can confirm that the 260's still have the rb25 build plate. These cars were bought new by Autech then stripped down and rebuilt. Still sold with factory warranty though!

Hi guys, so how do i check the no. of made? I am thinking of bringing my 260rs S2 back to Perth, so can any big brother tell me how much import tax that i have to pay (base on the cost of normal stagea?) And since i have own the car since new 1999/2000 so i can use the personal import scheme for import, however i still need to go thru. the inspection centre for licence, so do i have to strip off all the engine mods in order to pass the inspection? Pls help!!!

import tax is 15% of value of vehicle including the cost of shipping and plus 10% gst. Not sure how you put a current value on the car as you have owned it since new though

ic but this 260rs is kind of a special case coz the plate is 2.5lt stagea, so do u think i can escape from paying a high tax by saying this is just another type of standard nissan stagea which costs $15,000?

I personally hate them...b@st@rds!!! Do not go by the prices at there shop, they are absolute w@nkers and have a huge markup on their cars. they give you sh!t all for your car and then add heaps on top! :(

hehehhehe if your thinking of selling your 260 then i would have someone interested in talking to you about your car :):ermm:

really wildcat? :laugh: they seems to have a lot of good machines there...GTR34, RX7, EVO6...i dont mind selling my car there (but this is a white one) coz i only stay in Perth less than a month per yr. But with all the mods that i have in the car i think it would be quite hard to pass thru. inspection centre...the worst thing is the car cant be turned back to stock since it was tuned by Japs technician it does required a lot of works and $$$ to go backward...If ur friends would like to know more on the car, email me at [email protected] :O

Try to stay on topic, if you dont have info on how many 260RS's were made, start another thread or keep it to PM's!

Thanks

Yeah I wana know how many!!!!! :(

Edited by munchdesign
Err didnt Wildkat solve this question about a page ago???

Errr so what are we still doing here then? Oh, you were having a crack because you were off topic, I get it now. :(

I prefer the acurate answer of Zero Rs 260's were made... and yes I would also like to own a 260 RS some day.

actually import duty is 10% these days... they dropped it a while back.

at the risk of sounding rude roughly how much are you looking to sell it for? :)

i really have no idea? i own the car since new $80,000 and i have chuck in a lot of mods and $$$ into the car (that may not worth a cents if i'm putting up a car for sale)the car has run 38,000kms, so how much do u guys think it worth? Btw if i bring my car over via personal import, does it mean that i can still pass the inspection centre with all the mods like air intake, fuel pump, big injectors, fmic....? ;)

  • 1 month later...

I thought I would dig up this old thread

A "2001" model 260RS went thru the auctions today in JP

Only 15,000ks start bid was 2,500,000yen $28K

This would have to be one of the last WC34 Stagea 260RS I would think

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
