Ive never seen a red 260RS before. THought they only made them in black or white.

Nice car - big $$$ eh. I like the whole neat but incredibly functional look - its not too over the top. Big fan!

I'll be curious to see what it ends up rolling on a dyno after run in, should be some awesome figures!

Im in the middle of running my 260 in at the moment, half way through a 3000km run in! So frustrating having to drive it like a grandma when you know what you have under the bonnet, the price of build ups is a good reason for self control though even when you pull up at the lights next to something you know you can kill thats stirring you up!

I havent gone as crazy as this build up, but have still done enough to be looking at 320-330awkw when its finally run in!

Nice work tho! :ninja:

Awesome build man.

If my 4G63 in an S13 project falls through, or the S13 eventually bores me, I am highly contemplating putting the hole lot into my Stagea. Yeah, I know, 4 banger, but 4G's have a heap of torque. Will have to decide that when I eventually put the engine on the dyno.

I am using an R34 manual RWD box anyway, so its just a matter of bolting up the R34 GTR box and away I can go with AWD and all :rolleyes: (some electronic work obviously)

Btw, nice fitment on the GT-C's :/. What size, width and offset? Thats the fitment I am after with mine.

3000km of pussy footing a new engine is not going to do it any good my friend.

Here, have an interesting read: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

interesting conversion AlexCim....

Interesting indeed.

I have some pictures up on my MySpace. www.myspace.com/shiftyunicorn (yes, that myspace name was inspired originally by my stagea :P)

Some ideas have changed through the build, but its getting there. Engine/Gearbox getting mated over the next few weeks.

That guy raises some interesting points, but there is a lot inside an engine that he doesn't address so I would be a little wary of it myself.

ie - what about the preservative coating on the bearings in the mains and big/little ends

I wouldn't want anyone spining my brand new engine under hard load when there is still a lot of pre-assembly lube floating around in the oil either, not to mention the case hardened skin on new camshafts, bearings on rockers (or pushrod ends for all the knuckle draggers out there), freshly cut valve seats, stem seals etc etc etc

just my 2 cents anyway.

Hey guys,

After spending a massive amount of cash rebuilding the motor im more enclined to listen to the guys that built it, there are set procedures of certain revs etc that i am following to bed the motor in correctly. It isnt a good idea to put a brand new motor under massive load from the word go unless its a drag car and your going to rebuild it every week. Its not the first time ive had to run a motor in and i believe following a run in process is the safe way to go about things. There are obvious signs of seeing a new motor on a dyno for tunning purposes that show that a new motor appears "tight" and wont rev hard, so making it rev hard will inevitably cause some sort of damage or premature wear. Where as running the motor in under lower load to allow things to settle in makes alot more sense to me.

Im happy to wait and follow the mechanics process, that way if something goes bang i have someone to take it back too. Ive done the ligaments in my ankle so i wont be able to drive it for a few weeks unfortunately!

When i finally get to do max power tuning ill let you know what it comes up with!

Cheers

Ben

Interesting indeed.

for sure

I ran in my bike engine rebuild with his methods

edit: mixed in with my engine builders recommendations...............

...........

hence why you drop the oil / filter after 20kms, then another 50kms, then another 100, then a few hundred more, etc

All I know is when the ex head mechanic of Nissan Japan (not a dealer, Nissan itself), along with the ex head engine designer and builder for Nismo tell me to run it in that way, that is what I do.

Period.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
