hey guys i own a 260rs and was looking to target a power figure around 450rwhp and was wondering what kinda mods i will need and what i should be budgeting to spend? the car is stock as except for pods. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

cheers daniel

R33 GTR power fc ($1500 incl tune)

555cc injectors ($750)

044 fuel pump ($300)

z32 afms or q45 afms ($550), or d-jetro model Powerfc and no afms (map sensor)

full 3.25" exhaust system (3" would be fine)

gtr fmic should be ok..... better check that

full turbo kit incl manifold etc etc, HKS stuff brand new off ebay powerseller ($6000 for a big single 600HP kit)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-650HP-HKS-T04Z-...1QQcmdZViewItem

or twin hks 2530's or gtrs's etc etc etc, ($3500)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-800HP-Twin-HKS-...VQQcmdZViewItem

err dont forget the twin clutch nismo for about 2k. Also the suspension to handle the power. POWER is nothing withouth control. A decent suspension kit, shock absober, sway bars , sptings another A$2.5k. and dont forget the high flow cat too i prefer 4" another A$1.5k

do a leakdown test before u start spending :( I'd be keeping spare $$$ aside for a rebuild if u plan on using it alot with 450hp, most of the 26's are long in the tooth now and starting to show there age. Ringlands and bearings are the main problems.

thanks guys for the suggestions and help im goin to sit sown with someone at c-red on friday and my 260 is only a weekender and a daily tune wont be gettin 450rwhp so should be ok and yeah brakes were sumthing i had thought bout cheers again

im doing this exact process right now on my 260rs...

Ive gone a full rebuild with pistons rods etc thats cost me about $7000 + R and R

turbo's have gone garret GT2860-5 approx $2800

clutch im going a single plate as its a daily and dont wont a real bitey clutch approx $1000

then normal PFC, injector's, afms... yet to get fuel pump so another $2500 there...

my car has HKS coilovers so sus should be fine. Im just going upgraded pads for now.

im aiming for a safe reliable 300rkwk, but this combo could easily push more if i wanted it to.

I am running just over 500rwhp now.

N1 group a's running 20psi.

PFC

Z32's

Tomei cams and gears

Greddy belt

AM exhaust manifolds

HKS dumps

PE2 exhaust

Bliltz 102mm fmic

Oil cooler, remote filter

Big radiator (you will need this, the factory one is crap)

CP pistons

REV I beam forged rods

Rebuilt bottom end

DC Racing twin plate

Will be selling it for $38,000 very shortly.

Hi there, don't suppose you would have the specs/part no's for the radiator upgrade & N1 group A's by any chance. I have been toying with the idea of spending some $$$$$ myself in the direction you mentioned above. Why you wanna sell it now you got the beast going btw?

Cheers GW

Hi Graham,

The radiator is from just jap. The N1's are a .60 front and .64 rear, dont have the PN's sorry. The car has been running for some time and I have really enjoyed it. Its a bit of a sleeper, when I took it to the drags my mates were recording the runs, on the first run the people on the hill were pissing themselves when I lined up, they stopped pretty quickly after that. Ive got a new Liberty GTB now as a company car and I dont really have the time to dedicate to the 260. Its just gone into the panel shop for a tidy up (front bar etc, the usual problems with a low car). Make sure you have plenty of coin behind you before embarking on a build like this, they are a money sponge.

Its bloody hot up here Brad! But more to the point that I had spent a fortune on getting the motor and car right that I wasnt going to chance anything. So I upgraded everything. Twin low mounts do generate a lot more underbonnet heat too.

I'm running 300awkw:

R33 N1 snails,

Tomei cams,

Tomei head gasket,

Sard pump, injectors, etc on custom fuel rail

Hks cam gears

front mount

power fc

hks dumps.

plenty of scope for more, but I'm running standard internals. Also, standard clutch, which has lasted 2.5 yrs so far: car is daily driven, at 220rwkw most of the time...

Brakes: R33gtr Rear, Porsche 996 GT3 front calipers, Brembo front discs with custom hats

SK spec suspension.

Car runs perfectly, but if you're parainoid like me, you know it's only a matter of time before it's going to pop due to standard internals....

thanks everyone i finally got the list from c-red on what they're putting in:

Trust T517Z

Trust 720cc injectors

Trust front and dump pipes

Trust PE2 Cat back exhaust

GReddy easy 264 camshafts

HPI manifold

Power fc D-jetro

told it expected to make 430rwhp/320rwkw

also imagine should be a fuel pump in there somewhere

nice neil where in south west wa are you? and gud to see another wa 260 owner

im down in bunbury.

havnt got the car yet still getting built.

As soon as its here im up for a stagea cruise and check out some other 260rs's

thanks guys for the suggestions and help im goin to sit sown with someone at c-red on friday and my 260 is only a weekender and a daily tune wont be gettin 450rwhp so should be ok and yeah brakes were sumthing i had thought bout cheers again

I have a manual rb26 Stgaea with over 400 bhp in the uk.

I fitted a complete brake set up front and rear from a 2001 R34 GTR .

This gave a good improvement when I fitted them but after the upgrade I then fitted decent pads , nismo braided hoses , b/stop and did complete fluid change (with decent brake fluid ) . This gave a further improvement that was possibly more than when I fitted the std R34 GTR parts,

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
