26twn Is On Its Way. I Won The Auction (hope You Got Broadband)

[Lil_Bobby_260]

OK here are a few pics and details of the car -

Black 97 Autech 260RS

66,000km

grade 4B

Has aftermarket coilovers

Has HKS Piping in the engine bay so Im thinking it may have an aftermarket HKS intercooler

Has HKS turbo timer, and something else underneath it. pic below - what the hell is the bottom one?

Brembos look neat and ive heard they do the job amicably too...

Yeah definitely needs a wash but you get the idea. Original!

From the back... stock exhaust still too. Yes its fog. Not smoke.

Thats where its at! RB26 mayhem. 65,700km so far on this bad boy.

Original autech wheels with "autech version - front use only" stickers till on.

I just did a little poo in my pants purely on your behalf

Srsly tho Robbie, good luck with it dude, and I hope it all comes through for you. If you do win, its then the hardest part begins - the wait.

[GoldZilla]

Sounds good, best of luck with it!

[Lil_Bobby_260]

I know... the wait is killing me ALREADY.... Knowing my luck the car will just exceed my budget, or will be passed in for not meeting reserve or something and itll be months before something similar crops up!!!! how nice!!!

LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!! LUCK!!

COME ON LUCK

Woohoo! And another 260RS comes to Australia!! Congrats on your beast! 66,000 K's and 4B should = a damn nice example.

You have improved the imports:Australian cars ratio by... (something tiny) but every one helps!

[Qumulys]

Big congrats on the auction win!! I cant imagine the wait you have ahead of you, because I've been waiting nearly 3 weeks, and I'm about to start a candle light vigil outside the dealers when it finally gets complienced. The wait is the killer, screw the $$$$$'s pop those pics up ASAP

Cheers,

Jeff

You lucky MoFo!!!

Congratulations! Once it arrives, bring it to Sydney, STAT! You might need to, ummm, run it in or something...

[rb26stagea]

Excellent! Another '26 powered Stagea in the neighbourhood! SEQLD FTW! We'll have to organise another meet once your car is here...

Like the rest of the said: congratulations!

What company is Hocking working for?

[funkymonkey]

[66yostagea]

I'm salivating.

[Topkart R33]

Nice score......had a quick squiz on USS site Now expect to be driving it in 2 months time.....and washing it daily!!

[sleepynight]

congrats!

the wait is a killlllllllllerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sigh, hope you get it imported and complied quick

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!

Im hoping for a fairly smooth process as far as compliancing goes, the car is dead stock except for the aftermarket coilovers. Might need to borrow some aussie DOT approved tyres for compliancing - the tyres on the car ae new so i really dont want to fork out for tyres when i dont really need them.

Im bouncing off the walls hey, you shouldve seen me after the 5 or 6 phone calls from Japan throughout the process - was crazy.

So yes... now the wait...

[jenkies]

whoop whoop! congrats dude!

[Jackman GTS4]

AFAIK you will have to buy some new tyres for compliance. I just flogged my ones off to a local tyre yard and got em to swap my other rubber back on the rims. Suspension should't really be a problem...as long as it aint too low.

Where u going for compliance? PM me if u don't wanna broadcast it!!

Good luck
