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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
