Ive been thinking about doing this for a while. As much as i love this car it didnt turn out to be big enough and meet our needs. I have found a new car i want so i am selling this now. If it dosnt sell here then i will trade it in, but i would rather sell it to someone who will appreciate it.

I have to say now this is not technically a "genuine" 1999 series 2 Autech 260RS. I baught a genuine one in Nov 07 and had the motor rebuilt etc etc. The car ended up failing complience due to some rust and it taking longer then 12months to get to the complience place due to a dodgy panel beater taking 7+ MONTHS to do a weeks work on the car. Please give me a ring regarding this so i can explain it more.

We got the car back and then baught another stagea with a blown motor and swapped EVERYTHING over. So the only non "genuine" autech bit is the actual shell. The car is licensed with RB26 etc.

All the mods and parts have travelled less then 5000km's.

The vehicle's details are:

97 stagea shell

RB26DETT

Arias pistons

Eagle rods

ACL race series bearings

Fully balanced everything (crank, rods, flywheel, clutch etc)

Crank work (crack tested linished etc)

Block work (acid dipped, decked, crack tested)

N1 pumps

Tomie oil restrictor

Tomei sump baffel

Trust MHG

Trust 264deg cam's

All new genuine gaskets through out

New timing gear throughout

Head fully recon'd (lifters set for cams, guides etc)

New engine mounts, Gbox mounts etc

Platinum plugs

2 x Garret GT2860-7's

Apexi PFC

Turbotech bleed valve

HKS pods

HKS tuned length front pipe

HKS catback

Stock dumps and GTR cat

New belts

Cleaned stock injectors

Walbro in tank 600hp pump (not fitted but supplied)

Driveline:

New excedy cerametalic single plate clutch (rated to 330rwkw)

All 260RS driveline: mech diff, autech cradle etc

All new oils etc

Brakes:

New Master cylinder

Factory Autech 260RS brembo's

New Project Mu B spec pads

New rotors all round

New brake fluid

Suspension:

Nismo struts

Front Cusco castor arms

Rear camber arms (not fitted but supplied)

Hicas breaker bar

Exterior:

All factory Autech 260RS bodykit

Factory Autech rims with new Kuhmo ecsta sport KU31's

Fully tinted

new windscreen

Factory HID's

Interior:

Full autech interior

Trust turbo timer

Clarion CD player (dosnt work that well)

Alarm and central locking

Air con just regassed with new reciever drier

factory privacy blind and net

Car made 304ahwhp @ a little under 10psi. Limited by the stock fuel pump (hence the new walbro). Car was tuned at X-speed. They said with the combo on the car with the new pump, EBC and bigger injector you should see 450-460awhp @ 20psi ish, safley reliably, easily and responsively.

OK the bad points about the car:

Needs a new engine fan ( i have another 2nd hand one to go on that isnt cracked)

Radiator needs a clean out (got hot on the dyno but dosnt get hot now driving normally)

Needs new sway bar link bushes front and rear

Needs new castor rods bushes or just fit adjustable castor rods

I will sell the car with ALL the spare parts i have left over (except the busted RB25). PLease check this thread to see what there is, nearly 3k's worth of parts.

I am asking $35000ono as is with all the spare parts.

Im located in Bunbury WA

0419943997

The engine work and all the new parts cost me well over $20k. And like i said its all done less the 5000km's so barely run in. I just dont have the funds to finish it (building a new house) and like i said its not really big enough for us (we have 2 kids and a dog).

I will get some pics up as soon as it stops raining.

Forgot to put in that all the engine work was done by Gavin Wood Autotech on the Goldcoast. I have a reciept for the work. And have receipts for most of the other parts etc.

Not interested in swaps unless you have a Jeep Unlimited Rubicon or a newish 4x4 dual cab.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
