Why dodgy? Until I read the wiki file I was unaware that S1 came with manual. But Autec S1, manual?

Why dodgy?

Ska was referring to the price of the 260RS as most of them that you see are more expensive that that one and most you see are over 30k

[MrGTST]

I would hazard to say that the low price reflects the high kilometres... At 24k it was probably a good buy, even if there are some problems the 10k you save should cover that...

[stasis]

so who bought it? Alex did you buy this unit for the 260rs?

[AlexCim]

sorry but i dont buy bargains when i want something safe and reliable.

ill be in the market to pay around the 30-33k landed, complied and on road.

key emphasis needs to be made on reliable. RB26+high kilometers is a no go zone personally.

[stasis]

well somebody must have bought it?

[AlexCim]

no, not always

I wanted to buy a cima off jspec and i said ok ill take it and they checked and it was already sold by another importer. sometimes the car is just gone so they mark it as paid/whatever.

on another note, just coz someone bought it doesnt mean they are on these forums my friend.

what did yours end up costing on road FMI

just checking

loving the 260's very nice indeed.

hey Ken, I think you may be mixing up the owner of Autech Tsukada (the famous japanese tuning shop: http://www.attkd.co.jp/index.html ) who was here recently (i met him whilst he was in sydney) with the Nissan Autech arm ( http://www.autech.co.jp/JP/index.html ). He doesn't work for nissan autech. he has his own seperate tuning business called autech. if you know what i mean. many people think they are one and the same. but he owns a workshop somewhere up near Tsukuba, I am planning to pay him a visit later this year. I loved the 32 he had at TAS earlier this year. He certainly seems to know his shit about tuning RB26s, but I dont think he will be able to tell you how many 260rs have been made.

Bugger, he is getting me an Autech engine badge though, which should be cool! When are you going over? Around snow time I guess?

Cheers

[Beer Baron]

yeah it's confusing hey!

Going to try and head over in october/november this year for a couple of weeks. I did say I wouldn't do the jan trip again next year, but never say never. so if you are going in jan shoot me a message and let me know where/when.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Will do, Id say TAS07 will be the time for me, very busy atm.

guys

I started this thread because I really did need some info. It seems to have been highjacked by personal chats about ads and things

If you want to chat about other topics how about pms or your own thread.

im actually starting to doubt on the figure tha i was supplied in regards on the production numbers 121 unit of 260rss. Look at jspec i think theres been at least 10 units on sale. But havent seen too much of the S2s though. i might be wrong.

From what we have been told there was over 700 S1 260rs's and only 121 S2's made..i think that would be pretty accurate dont see too many S2's 260rs out there!

These figures are about in line with my observations :

1997 cars are rare but do exist ( production started around Nov)

1998 cars are much easier to find and are available in some number

1999 cars about the same no as 1998

After that they seem to be harder to find but possibly less come up for sale because people dont sell these so much with lower mileage

Now if anyone could find these production figures it would really help me (as well as being info that would interest all Rs 260 owners )

The problem is that all Stageas were given chassis numbers in the order they were made regardless of which model .

the 260rs's even have a rb25det engine plate on the firewall as they were transplanted after they come from nissan as a rb25 car (without engine). i found this on a 260rs for sale in perth and almost assumed it was a fake, but it wasnt and now a member on here owns it.
