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,

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
