Ok long story short, I have a damaged 97model R33 on the left rear quarter, and the boot doesnt quite shut aswell as it did anymore. So I dont think its repairable? or worth repairing?

The car has alot of goodies on it... Tein Super Drift Coilovers around 3yrs old, 2way diff, adj suspension arms, power fc, injectors, hks 2535 turbo, spitfire coil packs, z32afm, hks fmic, yoshio factory radiator, hks oil cooler kit, dump and front pipe, engine and gearbox working well, doesnt blow smoke, greddy ebc, has carbon fiber boot that is east bear brand and is level with the rear guard line (read not sunken down like factory boot) and bonnet is carbon fiber, but the clear coat is bit average. I have been drifting it at Ebisu Circuit in Japan, and its been really good to drive... but had a minor off on the touge course into a dirt embankment.

So I was looking at Re-shelling the car into a stock r33 body, but was interested to know if there is anouther model like Stagea? That I could drop the running gear in and the suspension components into.

Or even if there is a cheap R33 GTR Shell? Put front and rear subframes into, wiring etc... ?

I would just put over fenders on it, but havent found any that are simlar to 180sx or silvia style that cover the whole quarter panel. The ones i have seen only go half way up the quarter panel.

It looks like its going to cost me to get the car to Australia 8-9grand including the purchase price of the car.

So trying to weigh up my options...

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
