    to answer my own question....Nissan PN 878508990A, pretty hard to find, but eventually a dealer had a couple. $2.30 ea :)

    Anyone have the torque specs for these two T30 torx bolts? Thanks!!

    Medium tight will do it

    Thanks guys, I ended up hand tightening them w a 3/8 drive ratchet probably something like ~10-15Nm

    cheers!

    R34 gtr is a perfect fit for the S1 (I swapped one into mine), and i believe the 34gtt is as well. Not sure what happens with the tiptronic buttons in the S2 though.

    (Back from the dead!)

    Has anyone else done this, and any issues to be aware of? 
    What about for MT cars?  Specifically, either an R33 or R34 GTR steering wheel into an MT S2 260RS? 

    Thanks!

    Back from the dead!!

    Can anyone tell me if the 260RS steering rack is the R33 gtr rack (in which case I can use the R33 nismo steering rack bushings) or the C34 rack (in which case I have to look elsewhere)?

     

    Thanks!!

    For anyone who cares/searches for this down the line, it appears that the part numbers are the same for the steering rack bushings/insulators between the R32 GTR, R33 GTR, and 260RS.  

    I ordered a set of R33 GTR Nismo stiffened steering bushes for my Stagea 260RS (2000/S2) and will let you know if they fit!

    do you guys know if the R33 steering wheel fits the stagea?

    Anyone ever find an answer to this?  I have seen some R33 GTR steering wheels on Stageas before, but never figured out if the airbags or horn button work. 

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

  5. In all honesty I don't know why this didn't take off.  It's got all the ingredients for a great thread! 


    I stumbled across this while looking for info on what 18"SSR Disk face (HP/MD/NR/SL) is needed to fit over my WGNC34 260RS with OEM (R33) calipers and 355mm rotors.  I'll contribute to this thread when I've figured that out and decide on wheels! 
    I'm looking at Minervas in 18" or Formula Mesh, also in 18".

    Meanwhile... any chance any has info on this? 

    Cheers! 

  6. So, I searched "backspacing"and this came up, but somehow couldn't find it in the text... anyone know what the backspacing is (i.e. distance from wheel mounting face to coilovers) on a 2000 WGNC34 260RS (MT)? 

    I have an R34 face so I can't (immediately) tell if it's a S1 or an S2, but I assume it's a S2.  

    My car is about to come with 9.5J +22 with 3mm spacers (i.e. 9.5J +19), and I assume the spacers are there for backspacing rather than poke, since I only just learned that the rears don't have much space! 

    I was told/read that 9J +15 should fit, but close. 

    I originally wanted to run Z34 19*10.5J +23, and thought I'd need at least a 20mm spacer in the rear for that, plus some gnarly camber to fit them within the guards -- especially if I run the 255/30-19 that I intended to.  But now I'm worried it might be a 25mm spacer, which would mean, basically, Overfenders... which aren't tenable. 

    Does someone have the actual distance so I can calculate on paper before taking delivery of the car?  

    Much appreciated!!

    I can't confirm it but I just googled the pics and they look the same. If there is any difference in the mounting tabs it should be easy to adapt them.

    Great, thanks, I guess I'll find out soon!! (And I guess I wont be getting the Nismo version since the risk/price is too high!)

    The only difference is the air temp sensor!?!  Jeeze... that's good.
    So the R33 GTR I/C tabs, hoses, pipes, and fitment all line up properly in a WGNC34? 
    Thanks!!

    Just wanted to see if anyone else could confirm/deny this? 
    If wrong, what are the differences between an R33 GTR FMIC and a WGNC34 260RS FMIC? 

    Thanks!!!

    The 34 has a sensor provision on it. Air temp I think. The 33 one is the one you want

    They are the same cooler

    Thanks!
    I noticed that the BNR32 and BCNR33 use the same (nismo) part number, but the R34 is different.  Which will fit our WGNC34 Stag 260RSs?  What's the difference between those two part numbers?

    Don't quite understand your question. The non RB26  non 260Rs Stagea has a sidemount. All 260s have an RB26.

    Sorry, I re-read my post and it was terribly written. 

    Let me take another stab:  What would it take to fit an R32/33/34 GTR intercooler onto my WGNC34 260RS? 
    I wanted to know what the differences in piping, mounting points, and space/fitment are, to assess whether or not it makes sense to buy a GTR IC to modify to fit on my Stag.


    It seems ARC has different part numbers for the i/c kits, so I assume there are some differences.   Nismo also only makes kits for the GTRs, not the Stags. 

    Generally, there are many more options for GTR I/C kits than there are for our 260RSs. 


    Cheers!

     

  13. Sorry to bring an old thread back to life; anyone know what it would take for an R33 GTR (or R34 GTR) i/c to fit in a 260RS Stag? 
    I assume the 260RS intercooler piping is different from the non-RB26 versions? 

  14. Haven't been able to find a good answer (yet) so I'm reviving a dead thread -- hope that's OK! 

    I'm taking delivery of a 2000 260RS in a couple of months, and am starting to buy parts now, especially since some of them have a month-long lead time. 

    Does anyone have a photo (or description) of the differences between an R33 GTR intercooler and the 260RS intercooler?  I imagine the tabs and piping will be different to suit the chassis, but since the car has the RB26 in it, I assume the core would be the same? 

     

    How much work would it be to buy a BCNR33 kit and fit it to the WGNC34?  The options for the 260RS are all thinner or smaller than their R33 equivalents, and that just doesn't sit well with me... ?  It has an RB26DETT in it dammit, it better have a GTR intercooler too!!  ?

  15. Hey RB26 guys!


    Surprisingly, I can't find many recent turbo threads.  Everything seems to be from 2018 and older...

    Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has had experience yet with the new Tomei turbos for RB26: http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/catalogue/t550b-rb26/ 
    In due course, I'm looking to upgrade my stock twins, and am curious how these would compare to, say, a pair of EFR 6258, which they look the most similar to. 

    What are your recommended upgrades for a target of around 350-380 kw (500-ish hp)?   Reliability and (daily) drivability are my priorities, plus with very limited access to local welders (i.e. no one here does quality custom work like you can find in oz/nz or the US), it has to be fairly bolt-on so I can actually do it myself. 


    I intend to keep stock internals, and will do fuel upgrades with the turbo, and probably a stand alone ECU as well.  E85 not an option.   intake/exhaust a given.

    Cheers!!

  16. Thanks guys! 

    FWIW I've found 2 references on yahoo japan auctions of rear BNR34 discs -- not specified as V-spec discs -- that were 322mm in diameter.  That doesn't mean that the sellers didn't "forget" to include the word vspec, but it's 2 data points.

    But, I'm pretty sure both the 300 and 322 rears were both vented rears...  the R32's 296s were probably vented, too...

    So, the search continues... 

  17. Hi SAU Community! 

    I'm just about to join the wider GTR/RB26 ownership and so one of the first things I do, naturally, is join the forums/bbs as a way to find information and inform myself. 

    Brief car background:

    2000-2005: Mk IV GTI (2001)
    2003-2005: S13 240sx hatch (1993)
    2013-2019: S13 180sx (1998)
    2019-current: FD3S (1999) 
    2020: WGNC34 (2000) 

    With the exception of the GTI, I have worked on all of these cars myself.  The thumbnail pic is my 180sx which has since been retired. 

    Looking forward to engaging with you all!!

    Cheers
