hey all,

just wondering can any1 comfirm info on warnys car thats up for sale?

Td06 with forgies for 23k...

who was the previous owner?

what shop did the work?

and hows it been kept from what you sau guys know?

keen on buying it

cheers guys.

fitted the TD-06 beginning of the year after selling the gt350 turbo it had before(check my trade record)

Td-06 was rebuilt by grant with better internals (low mount for sleeper effect)

Tial wastegate was chosen cos trust gates too big and i hate the name turbosmart (no offense)

has been well kept and most workshops will know it if you drove there.

Glen(hyperdrive) was the tuner (when i fiddled with the settings ;)

it was one of the first WA cars with forgies (GTRKEN calls it the $3000 piston car lol)and has had forged internals all its life.

car came in 1999 with 8000ks and sat between a maserati and lexus as a weekend toy/autosalon showcar .- its a late 1997 build so this is not fake.

friend left and sold to another bloke who also left country.

car was sitting in backyard when I heard it was for sale from evolution R

Evolution R did all the checks and bargaining and we had it from 40,000km+

changed a LOT of stuff on it that i didnt like( u will notice the number of stereo installs it has had e.t.c).

removed a little stuff before selling ;)

kept in contact with new owner for further assistance but havent heard from him lately (sup danny)

Only major drama was clutch problems=plates that need replacing cos we rode the clutch/drag combat (fabian) spigot bush/warping plates etc (replaced by imports 101 twice)

has a brand new clutch according to workshop i visited that worked on it recently(supertec)

most major skyline dramas like power steering pump rebuilds have been done(perth gearbox & clutch)

umm the list of stuff is pretty accurate except for a few gliches like the blowoff is a apexi twin chamber and the intercooler is the oldskool big end tank trust cooler (unless changed after sale)

everything else is there for sure (u can hear the tomei pump buzzing........LOL)

ITS ONE MEAN CAR. (no ABS)

hope that helps.

Evolution R will have most of the reciepts (maybe) but the rebuild was 12k and total of other stuff was 47k(when japanese parts were ridiculously priced). but these have changed, eg it used to have wise sports 19 inch wheels but now has 5zigens and thats the third exhaust (went from twin to single and back to twin).

had sparco bucket seats before and r33 gtr brembos (sold em cos needed spacers). do luck suspension braces (taken off). CDT audio speakers(replaced) and has had four interior retrims(trimcare) etc so u may not see where all the money has been spent

Mao at evolution r will confirm all this if he can be bothered to do so (u will have to pester him)

did not get it from rob 77 steve. surprised it is sick because the rebuild reciepts/wastegate custom job is less than a year old and been running 0.9 bar, but u would know better. As far as im concerned the turbo was perfect (talk to Grant hes the turbo expert and will show $$ worth of work). and the frontpipe was custom made by andre(xspeed)

I know he didnt buy it from Rob but its the turbo that was on that car in the past but was replaced by Full throttle for Jeff Issac.I think its getting a new Turbo 2morro.

when u talk about 'he' who do u mean? im a lil confused cos ............. AH WELL!!! heres where THAT turbo came from WHEN I fitted it.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...493&hl=kidd

sat in evolution R for a while, car getting other attention

after that needed FULL rebuild(peace of mind). 'minimal' shaft play just didnt cut it :)

Grant guaranteed it was 'better than new"

fitted with adaptor and new front pipe :)

internal gate didnt work(I was warned) :D

thought it was avc-r (it wasnt)

TIAL external gate custom fitted :)

frontpipe custom made :)

few issues solved (custom metal gaskets-manifold inspected for leaks etc)

started missing old turbo(car was off road for total 6wks flat & in and out 3 weeks)

rest is history :)

moral of story= its cheaper to buy a new turbo kit (trust me)

    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
