Hi guys I am new to this site as I have allways been a Toyota man (supra) until I spent the last year in Japan and bought myself a 260RS Stagea 1997.

Love the car so I just bought myself onother one a 99 260RS.............. thinking I could the whole import process on both and still have money to keep things ticking over.

What a dreamer I was ..... so I am selling the 97 260RS as is and will be keeping the 99 for myself. The car is on the gold coast and any inspection is welcome, it has all the usual stuff (Ithink) RB26 brembos bbs wheels etc stock as a rock otherwise,

It has a couple of bubbles of rust under the mirrors wich I am in the process of getting fixed, other than that it is an awsome car.

, so without destroying the value of these cars I am willing to take a loss just on this car and sell it .

I know these forums and how they work and a lot of idiots are going to get on and say what a load of crock , for that price there must be something wrong , but come out and have a look at the car your self as I said its at the gold coast and you can see for yourself.

Cheers

By the way nice to say hi to all the stagea owners and I definately will be out there in my 99 260 (just not my 97)

Heres the pics when it was still in Japan

Slightly off topic, but what paint shop are you using?? I live on the Gold Coast, and also have a white stag with door rust: if it's ok with you, I would love to see the quality of their work before you sell it. No offence taken if you refuse.

, for that price there must be something wrong , but come out and have a look at the car your self as I said its at the gold coast and you can see for

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
