Thought I'd stick the build pocess of the second evolution of my 260RS.

My car came off the road in February after an incident involving 2 blocked injectors, an incorrectly added 8 degrees of timing advancement, 30PSI boost spike and 8,500RPM.

I have this thing for stainless steel. Every bolt in the engine bay is stainless allen key head cap screw. Every nut and washer stainless. Whether is is for the engine, guards, brackets, clips, whatever, it's all stainless. The doors are held on by stainless bolts, the interior panels throughout the entire boot are stainless, so too is everything with the audio. I needed to make a battery clamping system. I had several ideas, then binned them so I could use stainless.

Yes, I need to go to Stainless Anonymous...

New plenum...

The wiring nightmare....

This is the charging system and sub lines. It's kind of messy, but at least this way it is very easily tracable for all the wires (IGN, ACC, front battery, rear batteries, EQ's fibre optical lines, EQ IP BUS line, solenoid, voltmeter earths, ammeter earths, fuse breaker earths, fuel pumps relay system, system remote relay system...) The list keeps going...

At least it is all hidden...

DSC00295_.jpg

The front is back on. All parts repainted or replaced. Stainless cap screws as per usual...:

Door panel made. It's been dropped off to get covered:

The custom battery clamps / distribution blocks:

Stereo all works. Rather loud... Needs a serious tune though. I'll do that when the car is finished

Making a cold air box (template) that seals on the bonnet itself. There is surprisingly little room in an engine bay with no engine in it. Height was the issue really...

Feet...

Like a glove:

There a couple of mm spare to allow for the sealing system:

Templates getting cut then thermal procoated.

The intercooler is kind of deep (115mm):

DSC00498_.jpg

So I modified the bumper:

DSC00494_.jpg

Figured I may as well move the oil cooler again, and will modify the bumper more by adding a side air scoop / duct for the oil cooler:

And now the bits that bolt onto the plenum are shiny too:

all those photo's make me dizzy. :P

shall be one hell of a 260RS (and debt for that matter) when its done however..

that engine crane is a bloody good idea!

i assume it lets you adjust the angle of the engine? i had issues as i dropped the whole engine and box in mine, and the angle had to be steep to get the box under the tunnel, then i struggled to pull it back up and drop the engine on the mounts.

PS: what are you lurking down there for dale? still trying to clean up the mess you made? >_<

Most of us here own a Stagea, but this is undoubtably THE Stagea to rule all!

Good work - that's gotta take a hell of a lot of dedication, money and sanity.

There was a heavily-modded 260RS for sale on J-Spec a few weeks ago, but it's got nothing on this monster!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
