My cousin and I hold differing views on this. He reckons its extremly hard because some guy that works at an importer place told him because they ahve rb26dett's that they are extremely difficult to compliance and that there are only 2 in australia.

But since rb26dett's were available in the r32 gtr that was locally sold, isn't it just a case of making it match the emissions that the r32 had met? Or am i missing something here

rb26 in stagea has different emission test to any other rb26 due to exhaust system differrences..pipe length,muffler part # etc..actually closer to r34 emmision std but untill some one with stagea compliance has autech version tested ..then yes it is difficult...but i`am sure emission evidence for 260 rs can not be to far away

I have imported a 260RS it is still awaiting compliance and yes it is emissions that is the hold up, it will be the first stagea autech to be reg in australia. i know there are two more in the country but they have to wait like l do for the testing to be completed

Sorry, but there is definately a 260RS in melbourne already. It came in under the old import scheme though, if that's what you mean about yours being the first under the new scheme.

There was a write-up on it in HPI a few years ago.

Actually the one in HPI was from C-red in Perth. I'm pretty sure the one in Melb came in under race rego, it competed in the grand prix rally in 2002. Good to see a few of them around, must get one myself :(

the C-Red Stagea is a 2.5 and is registered, the white 260RS in Melbourne which came in through Success motors (now Closed) is not registered. Can anyone prove there is a 260RS Autech Version Registered in Australia

no its in japan ..bought at auction on friday...intend to use as sample car for raws

the 98 autech from motorman is the sample car, and compliance should have been completed on friday 28th May, so your car will not need to be a sample .

which year did you get, any mods?

it will be a sample car for my own compliance company..every raw needs sample car of what they intend to comply..no actual testing of this car will be done as evidence for this model is nearly complete..as you mentioned

its a 98 model ..

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
