I can confirm that the 260's still have the rb25 build plate. These cars were bought new by Autech then stripped down and rebuilt. Still sold with factory warranty though!

Hi guys, so how do i check the no. of made? I am thinking of bringing my 260rs S2 back to Perth, so can any big brother tell me how much import tax that i have to pay (base on the cost of normal stagea?) And since i have own the car since new 1999/2000 so i can use the personal import scheme for import, however i still need to go thru. the inspection centre for licence, so do i have to strip off all the engine mods in order to pass the inspection? Pls help!!!

import tax is 15% of value of vehicle including the cost of shipping and plus 10% gst. Not sure how you put a current value on the car as you have owned it since new though

ic but this 260rs is kind of a special case coz the plate is 2.5lt stagea, so do u think i can escape from paying a high tax by saying this is just another type of standard nissan stagea which costs $15,000?

I personally hate them...b@st@rds!!! Do not go by the prices at there shop, they are absolute w@nkers and have a huge markup on their cars. they give you sh!t all for your car and then add heaps on top! :(

hehehhehe if your thinking of selling your 260 then i would have someone interested in talking to you about your car :):ermm:

really wildcat? :laugh: they seems to have a lot of good machines there...GTR34, RX7, EVO6...i dont mind selling my car there (but this is a white one) coz i only stay in Perth less than a month per yr. But with all the mods that i have in the car i think it would be quite hard to pass thru. inspection centre...the worst thing is the car cant be turned back to stock since it was tuned by Japs technician it does required a lot of works and $$$ to go backward...If ur friends would like to know more on the car, email me at [email protected] :O

Try to stay on topic, if you dont have info on how many 260RS's were made, start another thread or keep it to PM's!

Thanks

Yeah I wana know how many!!!!! :(

Err didnt Wildkat solve this question about a page ago???

Errr so what are we still doing here then? Oh, you were having a crack because you were off topic, I get it now. :(

I prefer the acurate answer of Zero Rs 260's were made... and yes I would also like to own a 260 RS some day.

actually import duty is 10% these days... they dropped it a while back.

at the risk of sounding rude roughly how much are you looking to sell it for? :)

i really have no idea? i own the car since new $80,000 and i have chuck in a lot of mods and $$$ into the car (that may not worth a cents if i'm putting up a car for sale)the car has run 38,000kms, so how much do u guys think it worth? Btw if i bring my car over via personal import, does it mean that i can still pass the inspection centre with all the mods like air intake, fuel pump, big injectors, fmic....? ;)

I thought I would dig up this old thread

A "2001" model 260RS went thru the auctions today in JP

Only 15,000ks start bid was 2,500,000yen $28K

This would have to be one of the last WC34 Stagea 260RS I would think

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
