im in melb airport waiting for my flight home...

had a stag sus on the net and found this..

i havnt ran it threw fast yet but yeah...

the following dont line up for me...

all autechs have a rear fog on the drivers side in the reverse light, the tacho goes up to 10k, the front bar doesnt appear to have a 260 reo behind it... it doesnt stick out anything like mine... sits flush like an rs4,

u can also see the hack instal job of the guages.... the rs4, and rs4s? dont have the same mount set up in the dash...

it appears to be fake, and with that cluster in it im guessing fake KM's....

just a heads up to any buyers!!!

Either a nice RS4 or a butchered Autech.

Yeah looks like an 'old parts' bin. Good pickup RBPOWA - that's a series 1 auto dash. Pic' of a series 1 260RS dash, which Adam would be very familiar with too no doubt :)

Rear bar doesn't look like an Autech one to me? Got at the very least an aftermarket lower lip at the front. Doesn't have Autech wheels. Surely that steering wheel's a defect (no airbag). Are they aftermarket rear-view mirrors??? ;)

Alarm bells are ringing for sure... the gear stick surround looks like a hacked auto job, but in saying that the seats look 260, the door skins also do, its an Autech wing and sideskirts. I would say seeing as its a new front, has no drivers airbag, and some other very hard to come by parts are mising like the cluster and gear stick surround that its been in a good front ender, scrapped someone took some bits off it and someone else has got some parts together to make it go again...

Either way STEER WELL CLEAR... even if it was really cheap, don't risk your life in a car thats probably been stacked

My 2c :)

This car looks to be a genuine Autech

just the cluster and Kms may not be genuine.

"all autechs have a rear fog on the drivers side in the reverse light"

not all that ture, just the stagea's that come from the mountain parts of japan(By there law they need 1), which is y some do and some don't.

"u can also see the hack instal job of the guages.... the rs4, and rs4s? dont have the same mount set up in the dash..."

Its just that- Hack install of the DVD,heater,guages and fold out screen, 4 things trying to fit into 3!! (seen this in a few jap cars)

The only 1 to get anything right was M I K E

"that looks like a standard series 1 manual setup to me?"

PS. This is not my car! just telling the facts!!

PPS Yes it is a joke of a Autech 260RS

I'm intrigued by that centre console: it's nothing like the one I bought from Nissan... Were s1 and s2 manual centre consoles THAT different?? Fo instance, the handbrake in that one comes out of the console top: my console has a moulding on the side, so the handbrake lever sits next to it...

i saw this stag arrive at Japlink Motors on the back of a tilt tray a couple of weeks ago, they had a hell of a time trying to lower it down off the tray, its front bar was ridiculously low

No 260rs on the back either that is tatoo'ed into the paint.

Mine doesn't have this.... should I be worried!?? Definately agree it looks sus.. and maybe, just maybe the people selling it have no idea.

easiest way to tell i reckon is look for the recessed area for the vacuum booster for the clutch, see if it looks factory (same as gtr's). Going by the pic it does look as per autech which is pretty hard to do unless u either have an autech lying around or a 32 gtr etc to cut the peice from. Though the pic is hard to see properly

does it have hicas?

measure the rear wheel base as wheel and get offset of the wheels and u can tell if its an autech cradle or not.

i assume it has brembos? what about the autech brace under the trans tunnel?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
