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.

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • 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) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • 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)
