As far as i know Autech only madr 121 of the autechs as 260rs. And i know where is the last one 121 is!!! Its a custom made 260rs and its the only autech with sunroofs on and the engine is tined to 500hp. I suspect its tuned by Nismo called the rb26 Z2 version.

i doubt 121 only.

ive seen at least 2-3 sell at auction in the last month and about the same each month before that.

I could understand 500 or 1000 or so

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

I thought it was around the 500 mark. Emailed Autech but have had no response.

MR GTR's is for sale right now, build number 121 (he claims only 121 built). i saw it on ebay 38k im sure someone wants it considering its freaking awesome, not sure if its for sale elsewhere, im sure he can talk it up better then i can.

here is the link hope it works if not, not too hard too find.

isnt that a bit dodgy that it has never been complied considering that you cant have the car in the country for longer than 1 year without it being complied if it was purchased for road use.

is there any way to use nissan fast to check how many vin no's were issued for the autech models?

[EGA41T]

im pretty sure that it doesnt need to be "complied" if it was imported under the personal imports scheme

VERY hot car by the way

[mcnamg]

it needs a personal import plate but i dont know if there are time limits on personal import plates like there is on sevs

but yeah i agree definately a hot car would like to know what is so special about it other than the supposed super dooper suspension and fmic and what does the interior look like

[CruiseLiner]

121 sounds abit low to me, ive seen plenty of different ones at jap auction sites for the past 12 months and theres atleast 10 or so in oz so surely 90% cant be for sale or in oz already? oh and browsing SWAT japan sites there seems to be plenty of them in the club as well.

[EGA41T]

perhaps there was only ever 121 of the series 2 260RS ever built?

...sounds more realistic to me (as you dont often see the series 2)

[CruiseLiner]

i wonder whats different in the autechs between series 1 and 2 considering they both use r33 gtr running gear. maybe interior changes and front grille, any ideas what else? oh also rear taillights.

Edit

[mcnamg]

whats to say its even a genuine 260rs

and jusding by how many series 1 260's that come up at auction I dont believe that there is only 121 maybe thats how many series 2 models were made but altogether for both hmm i think not

[darrinspencer]

Ok

I have edit my last post

My only advise to anyone buying "any car" of a dealer or private, for you to do your background checks and be satisfied with what you are purchasing

I would like to openly apologise to anyone for my last post

Well all I can say is that car is pretty much what I would be looking for if I was to ever replace my stagea ( Series II Black 260rs ) and for 38k is pretty good priced...

Haha does Mr GTR want to trade for my series II RS Four S

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

I should have an answer to the quantity question very soon as I have a contact who is in japan with MR Autech himself (obviously not his real name).

That would be a VERY interesting answer!

You mean the owner of Autech or the desinger for 260rs?
