Original autech wheels with "autech version - front use only" stickers till on.

I just did a little poo in my pants purely on your behalf :ninja:

Srsly tho Robbie, good luck with it dude, and I hope it all comes through for you. If you do win, its then the hardest part begins - the wait.

I know... the wait is killing me ALREADY.... Knowing my luck the car will just exceed my budget, or will be passed in for not meeting reserve or something and itll be months before something similar crops up!!!! how nice!!!

LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!!

COME ON LUCK

Woohoo! And another 260RS comes to Australia!! Congrats on your beast! 66,000 K's and 4B should = a damn nice example.

You have improved the imports:Australian cars ratio by... (something tiny) but every one helps!

Big congrats on the auction win!! I cant imagine the wait you have ahead of you, because I've been waiting nearly 3 weeks, and I'm about to start a candle light vigil outside the dealers when it finally gets complienced. The wait is the killer, screw the $$$$$'s pop those pics up ASAP

Cheers,

Jeff

Excellent! Another '26 powered Stagea in the neighbourhood! SEQLD FTW! We'll have to organise another meet once your car is here...

Like the rest of the said: congratulations!

What company is Hocking working for?

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!

Im hoping for a fairly smooth process as far as compliancing goes, the car is dead stock except for the aftermarket coilovers. Might need to borrow some aussie DOT approved tyres for compliancing - the tyres on the car ae new so i really dont want to fork out for tyres when i dont really need them.

Im bouncing off the walls hey, you shouldve seen me after the 5 or 6 phone calls from Japan throughout the process - was crazy.

So yes... now the wait...

AFAIK you will have to buy some new tyres for compliance. I just flogged my ones off to a local tyre yard and got em to swap my other rubber back on the rims. Suspension should't really be a problem...as long as it aint too low.

Where u going for compliance? PM me if u don't wanna broadcast it!!

Good luck :)

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
