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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
