Hey everyone

I have been planning to turn my 260rs into a show car for quite sometime. Some people know i have quite a large custom stereo install in the car but the funds have come through that will allow me to completely finish the car of to a show quality. Quite ironically though my showcar has begun with the purchase of a new engine for the car which is as follows:

RB2.8L engine

N1 block

HKS step 3 2.8L kit (HKS pistons, rods and crank)

HKS 1.6mm drag head gasket

HKS exhaust and intake gaskets

HKS oil pump, HKS cam gears

HKS timing belt

HKS fuel rail

HKS 1000cc injectors

N1 water pump

Trust sump kit

Tomei 280 degree 11.5mm lift drag cam shafts

Tomei drag valve spring kit

Tomei titanium retainers

Tomei valve lifter

Race cut valves

Race valve guides

ARP head stud kit

ARP main stud kit

Race main bearing kit

Race crank bearing kit

ATI/Ross pulley kit

Race head port intake and exhaust

I am still undecided on what turbo to run though T04z for streetability when its done the shows or a T51r for fun on the dyno at comps

The car will also be getting a custom 2 tone paint job (top:black, bottom:white with thin blue break stripe) all with white ice pearl over the top.

The car will also get a full interior retrim in black and white leather

Will keep updated with photos as the build goes along.

The plan is to debut the finished car at perth autosalon 2011

cheers daniel

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
