Hello all.

Just thought I'd let you know I'm the proud new owner of RBNTs RS260.

He will be putting it on a truck for me early next week and hopefully should be in my driveway in a few weeks.

I used to own a black RS4V which I traded for a 20B Cosmo and the guy I traded with then sold to Stageagirl Im pretty sure. And I think she has since passed it on.

I see theres a WA cruise coming up.

Hopefully she'll be here in time for that.

Very nice buy. I've been watching this car since it came up for sale. Thoughts even crossed my mind of selling my 260 and buying one that's 'already done' ;-)

I'm sure you'll love it.

But half the fun is doing it yourself, with the stuff you want, the way you want it. I'd hate to buy a car with everything already done - then what?

Sure you'd enjoy it and all, but after a while it just becomes another car. I'm forever searching the net for idea's, hard to find parts and things to make my ride better. I hope it never ends too.

One day when I'm old, maybe then I'll buy a Toyota or something, as is and leave it alone. :(

Haha, that is true, but then it's also hard for me to justify the thousands of dollars (when I should be saving for a house) I would spend getting my car to a state where it is as quick as this one. I think if I was to modify my car to the level of this one, my car would probably owe me $10K more than if I just sold it and bought one 'pre-modified'.

But yes, you are right, nothing beats the satisfaction of doing it all yourself :(

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Shes currently sitting on the truck waiting for the floods to subside so they can truck her down here.

Ah the waiting game.

Anyone got any news on the flooding up in NT?

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
