my reasons being. my autech doesnt have cup holders... no manuals did im 99% sure.. due to them hitting the gear stick i spose...

also no brembos :S

somthing goes on with the exhaust mounting job lol

and the throttle cabel being held im by a friggn zip tie!

fuel pressure regulator hose is just dangling around.

in the side pic the rear bumper especialy doesnt match the rest of the cars paint fade.

the wheel arch plasic covers dont go the whole way down the front bar in 1 pic.

I am certainly no expert (have been looking at buying one hence why I noticed this thread!) but here is a real one on 105.com.... the guages are in a different spot too, but that's not to mean that someone hasn't switched em over though????

I emailed the ebay ad requesting the VIN number to confirm that it is authentic.... :D

look at the autech 2 adds above it... :D whata fine beast that one is :D

i can asure u its genuine :( its also in my driveway :D

just for ur peice of mind that ones fake also... its on the forsale section here... its an rs4 converted to 260... the dudes on here, autech body was too rusted to comply so had to transplant his rs4...

great car im guessing but no good outside of wa.

Chortle chortle...

That's a car that I sent there for compliance... it belongs to a customer of mine who got it extremely cheaply (think auto RS Four price), so he wasn't overly fussed about the issues mentioned. It has higher kms and despite the mucking around under the bonnet, was still graded 4BB at auction.

Chassis number is WGNC34-104829.

Yeah thats it.

Why is it no good out of WA? Are you not allowed to do a transplant like this in other state's? Over here it went straight over as its considered a factory option, like putting a V8 into a V6 car. Interested to know in case anyone ask's.

" It has higher kms "

Odometer 68000km?? clocked back??

another quality Autech Stagea!!!! what a jk!

Also the brakes are not brembos and also in mine there are no drink holders in the cen console. Highly doubt its an original Autech

Well you're highly wrong. If you'd read the thread, I've already given the chassis number for the car. Feel free to run it through FAST.

lol, I think it's what they call in the trade "dummy stock" :P And both the km reading and the year on the ad are incorrect.

lol well my guess is that they're trying to attract customers who would buy a 68,000km Autech for $27K, which would certainly get them a nice car if they were buying something from Japan.

In the case of this particular car, my customer got it a LOT cheaper than that (I won't discuss figures publicly, that's for him to decide if he wants to share what he paid). He knew what he was buying, that's the main thing.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
