Ive been thinking about doing this for a while. As much as i love this car it didnt turn out to be big enough and meet our needs. I have found a new car i want so i am selling this now. If it dosnt sell here then i will trade it in, but i would rather sell it to someone who will appreciate it.

I have to say now this is not technically a "genuine" 1999 series 2 Autech 260RS. I baught a genuine one in Nov 07 and had the motor rebuilt etc etc. The car ended up failing complience due to some rust and it taking longer then 12months to get to the complience place due to a dodgy panel beater taking 7+ MONTHS to do a weeks work on the car. Please give me a ring regarding this so i can explain it more.

We got the car back and then baught another stagea with a blown motor and swapped EVERYTHING over. So the only non "genuine" autech bit is the actual shell. The car is licensed with RB26 etc.

All the mods and parts have travelled less then 5000km's.

The vehicle's details are:

97 stagea shell

RB26DETT

Arias pistons

Eagle rods

ACL race series bearings

Fully balanced everything (crank, rods, flywheel, clutch etc)

Crank work (crack tested linished etc)

Block work (acid dipped, decked, crack tested)

N1 pumps

Tomie oil restrictor

Tomei sump baffel

Trust MHG

Trust 264deg cam's

All new genuine gaskets through out

New timing gear throughout

Head fully recon'd (lifters set for cams, guides etc)

New engine mounts, Gbox mounts etc

Platinum plugs

2 x Garret GT2860-7's

Apexi PFC

Turbotech bleed valve

HKS pods

HKS tuned length front pipe

HKS catback

Stock dumps and GTR cat

New belts

Cleaned stock injectors

Walbro in tank 600hp pump (not fitted but supplied)

Driveline:

New excedy cerametalic single plate clutch (rated to 330rwkw)

All 260RS driveline: mech diff, autech cradle etc

All new oils etc

Brakes:

New Master cylinder

Factory Autech 260RS brembo's

New Project Mu B spec pads

New rotors all round

New brake fluid

Suspension:

Nismo struts

Front Cusco castor arms

Rear camber arms (not fitted but supplied)

Hicas breaker bar

Exterior:

All factory Autech 260RS bodykit

Factory Autech rims with new Kuhmo ecsta sport KU31's

Fully tinted

new windscreen

Factory HID's

Interior:

Full autech interior

Trust turbo timer

Clarion CD player (dosnt work that well)

Alarm and central locking

Air con just regassed with new reciever drier

factory privacy blind and net

Car made 304ahwhp @ a little under 10psi. Limited by the stock fuel pump (hence the new walbro). Car was tuned at X-speed. They said with the combo on the car with the new pump, EBC and bigger injector you should see 450-460awhp @ 20psi ish, safley reliably, easily and responsively.

OK the bad points about the car:

Needs a new engine fan ( i have another 2nd hand one to go on that isnt cracked)

Radiator needs a clean out (got hot on the dyno but dosnt get hot now driving normally)

Needs new sway bar link bushes front and rear

Needs new castor rods bushes or just fit adjustable castor rods

I will sell the car with ALL the spare parts i have left over (except the busted RB25). PLease check this thread to see what there is, nearly 3k's worth of parts.

I am asking $35000ono as is with all the spare parts.

Im located in Bunbury WA

0419943997

The engine work and all the new parts cost me well over $20k. And like i said its all done less the 5000km's so barely run in. I just dont have the funds to finish it (building a new house) and like i said its not really big enough for us (we have 2 kids and a dog).

I will get some pics up as soon as it stops raining.

Forgot to put in that all the engine work was done by Gavin Wood Autotech on the Goldcoast. I have a reciept for the work. And have receipts for most of the other parts etc.

Not interested in swaps unless you have a Jeep Unlimited Rubicon or a newish 4x4 dual cab.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
