Rb26 Powered Stagea (rs260's Or Modded 2.5's)

[rb26stagea]

Mine is beginning to slip at high revs: no idea what to replace it with yet: it is a standard r32 clutch, asik, but I wouldn't mind something a little more bitey: it's just that I'd rather slip the clutch than explode the diffs/driveshafts.....

I've been looking into these cars for the past few days. The more I look into them, the more I like

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Well the clutch for the R32 is probably not meant to shift the weight of a stagea off the line in anger haha...

Simon - whats not to like? If the GTiR is a baby godzilla, then the stagea 260RS is teh momma.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Anything over 250awkw is going to hurt the standard clutch. Get a twin plate, good for the calves.

[Lil_Bobby_260]

fantastic i need a hyper-developed left leg...

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Mine is officially up for sale. Its in the right sections too, whole cars for sale!

I have heard good things about jim berry clutch wich I think is just the std rebuit, I looked into twins, but they are $$$$, also the clutch is different from R32 GTR, its a pull type I think so make sure you get the right one. depends on how much power you running and also I have heard that twins can be LOUD

[rb26stagea]

The car is just a weekender anyway, so the noise isn't a real issue: I just don't want to go breaking bits every time I drive it in angry mode... I have some more research to do...

i just installed a os giken quad plate in mine, it seems soft as pedal feel but havent drivin it yet, will do in next few days, should hold up any power i put through it now. I had a direct clutch twin plate, never ever slipped even on 600rwhp+ but its rattly and heavy pedal feel so i took it out. It was a great clutch to drive though as taking off was sooo smooth and easy unlike alot of other clutches.

I have an os twin plate suit rebuild will let you have it cheap cost $400-450 to rebuild, great clutch but I went to a new nismo twin for bit more bite. pm me if your interested.

[Lil_Bobby_260]

so how much power does the 260RS put down in stock trim? and how much is the clutch good for? Im only doing basic mods that wont see incredible power gains...

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

150-160awkw.

[Lil_Bobby_260]

And with a full exhaust, larger FMIC, high flowing panel filter and a BC running 12-13PSI?

[Duncan]

ouch - thats a fair way short of a stock gtr. we had a 34 on the dyno on the weekend it did 210awkw.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

On 7psi? Thats a fantastic figure if it is running stock boost!

[BoostedBarge]

Just out of interest, has anyone had geabox problems in a RS260? Considering there's an extra 200kg over the GTR. Does anyone know if the gearbox is the same as a series III R33? Apparently, that gearbox is tougher than its predecessors.

i am currently running a 32 gtr 5 speed with 560rwhp in a rs4 stagea and it hasnt died yet with plenty of hard 8500rpm clutch dumps lol only time will tell as to how long it will hold up, 3rd gear is the one that bites the dust i hear.

[Lil_Bobby_260]

what changes are made to the RB26DETT over the years from 1996 til 2001 when they were run in 260RS? Was the engine and drivetrain changed to keep up with the change from R33 to R34? Or are SI and SII Autechs the same from front to back?

Im assuming they didnt change, as all stageas run the R33 GTR computer, and didnt change to R34 in 1998/99 or whenever the R34 skyline was born?

What sort of clutch should be run for a stagea with the mods im planning? Same as youd run in a GTR with similar mods, but a bit heavier to cope with the weightier car?

[Lil_Bobby_260]

PFC for sale in the parts section. What you think? $850 ono, 2nd hand, with controller, works fine etc. Worth making an offer for? how often do these come up?
