ooooo i know where this is

Hahahaha, I'd hope you knew where this was - it's listed in the ad as "The Toy Shop," which is an importer/dealer/wreckers around your area.. LOL.

Yeah, clearly they've listed it as an Autech to get views to the add and a few enquiries from those not quite in the know. The car has the wrong seats, wrong front bumper, wrong wheels, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

And as for how Autechs were produced and build-plated, I thought they were all plated as WGNC34s (with the "N" in the model code signifying AWD, and they might even have been atmo RB25s when they were shipped from the Nissan factory to Autech (hence the "G" in the model code meaning RB25, where "H" is an RB20).

I found this on ebay, Link

IMO, you can add an RB26, and even an Autech kit (which this one doesn't have) but that still doesn't make it an Autech Stagea. its along the same lines as putting an RB26 and a GTR kit on a GTST and passing it off as a GTR, its wrong.

also, i didn't think you could comply a car that has had an engine conversion :P

Man... that thing was floating around for sale in syd about 2yrs ago! Japlink motors I think. No Autech. Not even close.

Obviously they couldn sell it in the big stink. Had 26000 on it. LOL

      At least you're now aware of the problem and can come up with a solution.

      1. No need, it only gets used once then is locked in place by the nut 2. EN-62 point 6 shows the conical washer the other way around (BTW I know we discussed above, I hope you are changing the idler as well, while it is no guarantee the bearing is a actually bad, it looks terrible) 3. I'm not really clear on the question, are you worried because it was easy, not hard, to remove the custom timing trigger? As long as it doesn't spin on the crank (when the bolt is tight) all good 4. Yeah just make sure the brand is easy to read as it rolls past 5. The part number is on the listing under the description, 13023-42L00. Given there is a custom part on there for timing (presumably outside the cover), they may have decided to leave that off; I think I would put the washer in there as it also helps seal the timing case from crap getting in.

      Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
