260rs Compliance Help!

[Herbietjh]

Hey Guys,

well the beast arrives tomorrow and in its modified state, its not going to pass compliance!!

it has a twin aftermarket air filter set-up which needs to be replaced with a standard airbox.....does anyone know if the R33 GTR airbox will fit, or does anyone happen to have a standard autech airbox which i could borrow?

The exhaust may be another problem.....again does anyone have a standard autech stagea exhaust hanging around??

I know this is all a long shot, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Tim

First things first, what state do you live in, and what area?

I'd assume that the R33 GTR aribox should be the same, as the RB26DETT in the Stagea (whether series 1 or 2) is the same as that in the R33.

Melbourne.

Stock RS4 catback fits

R33 GTR airbox should fit, RS4 is the same as GTST

[Herbietjh]

Here in Sunny Qld. our complier has most bits to standard for a fee. The he puts your bits back after.

That is if its just wheels, exhaust and air filter box.

I have the standard airbox for a 260RS. My exhaust had some holes in it so I chucked it.

Give Mick Martin a ring at SVI in Brisbane/silverwater(?) he should know about airbox issues cos he did mine back in September '06. BTW compliers get buckets of money for sorting all this crap out so you can have the car you paid for in the first place. lol

[Herbietjh]

for a HD clutch frrom Jim Berry will cost you probably abt $8-900 with a swap over for your old ones. Race pace my tuner is able to offer me for A HD clutch installed for about $1.5k with no swap over. To tell you the truth i still have no idea which one to trust. But heres the link to Jim Berry and some info on the clutched from the forum.

When I got mine the std clutch was on the way out, replaced that with a 5puk. Thats now shot and have a twin plate Direct Clutch going in. I have heard good things about the JB clutches though.

I just had a clutch rebuilt last week from Jim Berry. The originally was built by Direct.

Jim found some pretty rough workmanship from the last rebuild.

It now healthy 3000lb clamp which should be heaps for my Rb25DET

How many ks or years did the clutched last you guys? RBNT and Darrin? <ineshas done 75k is still doing fine my tuner just ask me not to launch it from a standstill. Let me know. BTW has anybody fiexed the rusts that might be present underneath the sideview mirrors?

I have not used the clutch yet, I am still converting my car to a manual

Something Jim did say, was the 260RS clutch has a lighter clamp pressure than a 33 GTR. So with a few hard launches and the extra weight of the Stagea, no wonder they do not last.

Rust, I have some in my drivers door which will be fixed soon when my r34 front end gets painted

What did you want to know?

[AlexCim]

I guess he just wanted to know how to go about fixing it.

It was something my best mate and I pointed out to him when we met at the tint professor.

Its pretty simple, remove the mirrors, sand the rust back, fill the gaps, paint the entire door, reinstall mirror, finished.

i can get you a twin plate for 500 USD plus shipping

HKS i think its used, but plenty of life
