Hi all,

I'm looking at buying a 260RS, I've been away from Oz for 3 years and I'll be coming back soon and have always wanted a Stagea.

I owned a S15 200sx before leaving.

I'd like to get a 260 and would like to hear any thoughts on things to check to get an authentic 260rs.

Have you seen, heard of dodgy 260's? I did some searching in the forum and read the buying guide already.

Feel free to PM me, cheers.

just run the VIN through Nissan FAST beforehand, you can PM me the VIN to check if you want when you find. Doubt if there would be any fakes out there, 260s are not that expensive anymore and the cost of faking one would be more than a real one.

Thanks for the reply.

If its as easy as checking the VIN then that's fine.

Your right about the price of faking it.

Thanks again :thumbsup:

Make sure you get the engine checked. Do a compression check and leak down test, esp on a 10+ year old Rb26. Could save you thousands in the long run.

Also, check the VIN to be sure, I know of one black fake with twin sunroofs. . . . . .

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
