Help!

The head gasket in my RB20 is to be replaced this weekend (with original Nissan gasket). A few Q's...

1. What are the torque settings for the head bolts?

2. What is the recommended Synthetic Engine Oil for an RB20 (up to $50 or so)?

3. What do I look for in a gasket sheet that will hold up to the pressure of the turbo? (I've been told that the turbo will need to come off the manifold to get this done - ie - need new gasket for that...).

4. Any other tips n' tricks / caution points?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Michael

Thanks Meggala,

I found the torque settings on your site but couldn't find any of the other stuff.

If you have it posted, could you please post a link to it (for those who are a little light on the brain cells like myself).

Cheers,

Michael

FYI all...

Picked up some Mobil 1 for below cost (repco had 25% off. 25% is more than their profit margin).

Turbo to exh manifold gasket is metal & can be re-used.....ahhh, the things you learn when you're pulling stuff to bits... :D

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
