Sorry but to add to the whole "I found a dodgy 260RS" part of this thread.....

http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/5766 - $24k :rolleyes:

Why dodgy? Until I read the wiki file I was unaware that S1 came with manual. But Autec S1, manual?

Why dodgy?

sorry but i dont buy bargains when i want something safe and reliable.

ill be in the market to pay around the 30-33k landed, complied and on road.

key emphasis needs to be made on reliable. RB26+high kilometers is a no go zone personally.

no, not always

I wanted to buy a cima off jspec and i said ok ill take it and they checked and it was already sold by another importer. sometimes the car is just gone so they mark it as paid/whatever.

on another note, just coz someone bought it doesnt mean they are on these forums my friend.

what did yours end up costing on road FMI

loving the 260's very nice indeed.

hey Ken, I think you may be mixing up the owner of Autech Tsukada (the famous japanese tuning shop: http://www.attkd.co.jp/index.html ) who was here recently (i met him whilst he was in sydney) with the Nissan Autech arm ( http://www.autech.co.jp/JP/index.html ). He doesn't work for nissan autech. he has his own seperate tuning business called autech. if you know what i mean. many people think they are one and the same. but he owns a workshop somewhere up near Tsukuba, I am planning to pay him a visit later this year. I loved the 32 he had at TAS earlier this year. He certainly seems to know his shit about tuning RB26s, but I dont think he will be able to tell you how many 260rs have been made.

yeah it's confusing hey!

Going to try and head over in october/november this year for a couple of weeks. I did say I wouldn't do the jan trip again next year, but never say never. so if you are going in jan shoot me a message and let me know where/when. :O

guys

I started this thread because I really did need some info. It seems to have been highjacked by personal chats about ads and things

If you want to chat about other topics how about pms or your own thread.

im actually starting to doubt on the figure tha i was supplied in regards on the production numbers 121 unit of 260rss. Look at jspec i think theres been at least 10 units on sale. But havent seen too much of the S2s though. i might be wrong.

From what we have been told there was over 700 S1 260rs's and only 121 S2's made..i think that would be pretty accurate dont see too many S2's 260rs out there! :laugh:

These figures are about in line with my observations :

1997 cars are rare but do exist ( production started around Nov)

1998 cars are much easier to find and are available in some number

1999 cars about the same no as 1998

After that they seem to be harder to find but possibly less come up for sale because people dont sell these so much with lower mileage

Now if anyone could find these production figures it would really help me (as well as being info that would interest all Rs 260 owners )

The problem is that all Stageas were given chassis numbers in the order they were made regardless of which model .

the 260rs's even have a rb25det engine plate on the firewall as they were transplanted after they come from nissan as a rb25 car (without engine). i found this on a 260rs for sale in perth and almost assumed it was a fake, but it wasnt and now a member on here owns it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
