Hi all

As stated, anyone know about this 260rs on carsales?

I emailed the seller via the carsales network and get different stories about the car when i emailed the same seller when he/she advertised this car on Gumtree.

At first, it's got a fully built engine to Nur Spec, then it's got an R34 gtr engine, then it's got a standard R33 gtr engine ......... wtf. When i confront he/she in the last email with all the different info that he/she gave me via difference networks, i never got an answer.

At the same time, if anyone here thinking of letting go of their 260rs, please inbox me.

Thanks

That thing looks mint. Get it checked by someone who knows then, assuming it's good, throw a low ball offer at him.

Interior trim around the A/C controls, key barrel and passenger front door looks terrible.

Passenger door has either been replaced or resprayed (Most evident in the first photo).

"exterior is in showroom condition and the interior is practically brand new" hahaha, yeah right.

Advertised as 1999 but described as 2000

"Car is 100% stock standard with no modifications from factory". Those aren't factory seats, grille, N1 style bumper vents or wheels.

I thought all 260's had the momo steering wheel ?

That car just doesn't look right at all.

Passenger door could have had the rust fixed. All Stags rust under the mirror. Owner might have cared enough to fix it which is possibly a good sign.

I got my car with 130,000ks on it and the steering wheel had a hole in it. My brand new Nissan Pulsar has 30,000ks and the steering wheel is already very worn in the same area. Nissans seem to have an issue with their steering wheels (never had the issue in other cars).

There are potentially valid reasons for most of what you have pointed out. Also most people use "stock" to explain mechanical condition, not body kits.

I'm sorry but when someone advertises a car saying "Exterior is in showroom condition and the interior is practically brand new" you don't expect to see mismatched paint and chunks taken out of interior trims.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
