hey guys, got this a little while ago,

1998 260RS stagea

so far I've upgrade the exhaust a bit (front pipe and cat before it hit dyno, just replaced rear muffler and trying to get a 3.5" resonator), taken boost restrictor out and installed a Bosch 044 and a haltech. Currently putting down about 210awkw's with a restrictive exhaust.

Next plans are twin plate clutch and a pair of Garrett turbos. (2860's -5)

the wheels on it in those pics are my mates (18x9.5+18) and I just run the autech stockies

Let me know what ya think guys!

Yeah the front needs a little more low (it's running fully adjustable Zeal coilvers)

My mate bought those wheels for his JZA70 supra not long ago so I don't think he'll part with them (even tho they look sexual on my car lol)

see how I go I guess haha.

Looks good and very similar to mine. Very similar number plate. I'm curious to know how much power it will have once the exhaust is done. Mines currently pushing 190kws at all 4 but is being limited by injecters. getting a fuel pump and fpr fitted soon!!!!!!!!1

You must be kidding! My RS4 with an RB25DET made over 200awkw with stock injectors. Anyway don't bother with the fpr - get some better injectors and an aftermarket ecu for a start.

Yeah i got 244.5 at the rears on stock turbos and just a walbro in my 260RS, pretty much every other bolt on know to man though. Power FC and Z32s are the go.

My tuner tells me stock FPR will be fine when i add 2860s and 700cc injectors,

Nice plates dude, These things look amazing dumped but the overhang at the front is a real killer i couldn't imagine going too much lower.

Yeah my stag has 227 I think at the rears with the exhaust dropped... Think it lost about 4kw with the cat attached. K&N panel filter, haltech, 044 and 1 bar are my only mods.

And thanks, saw the plates were aailable and purchased them before I bought the car haha. They were going on a vz if I hadn't bought a 260 when they arrived (had to have a car to put them on in order to order them). Luckily they weren't tainted by commodore faggotry lol.

just read that they arent your wheels... spewin...

although i havent seen it on an older model stag but i have them on my m35... ive got a set of v35 skyline wheels on mine currently, actually look pretty good, they have a convex styling to them so they kinda POP a bit!

but yea any wheels can look good, spacers provided!

so jelly of your 260rs, was going to import one actually but i caved for the newer stag, about the same price anyway... had a gtr before and maintenence on rb26 ruins my life lol

Stock FPR is fine for heaps of power on an RB... only those who are avoiding an injector upgrade tend to play with them.

Take it to another workshop for a second opinion and get them to check the fuel system over, a pump on the way out(for example) could be causing issues for you(or a pump at its limits...), injectors are fine for a fair bit more. Workshop or car seems NQR :thumbsup:

yeah it's a nice car and I'm in love with it. Always wanted a GTR but I've had a few 2 drs already so I thought I'd get something practical and fast :)

The same reason I got my 260RS. A family car... with some serious horsepower.

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
