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.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
