Sure these are all bolt on and changeable for people attempting to disguise a RS4 as a 260 but they are easy to check:

  • NO front cup holders
  • NO sunroofs
  • Under body front brace
  • Fork bottom rear shocks
  • Clutch master is recessed into firewall
  • Higher redlining tacho

Thats all I can think of atm, but as stated above the only way to do it is with FAST.

Correct.

All 260RS Stags are plated as having RB25DETs. If you're ever in doubt you might be looking at/own a fake/converted 260, it should be manual, Brembos, and the recess in the firewall for the boosted clutch master are the first signs its a 260. There are other things to look for, but thats an easy start.

:thumbsup:

ok cheers, didnt check the firewall recess but all else checks out.

still looking at this stage, the complexity of the gtr setup is a bit offputting as thinking towards future maintenance etc, thinking an s2 rs would be good also neo+2wd manual, alot less headaches???

Hey mate I have the fast program and checked mine. Comes up witg a message saying "these are autech special vehicles" or something like that. If you want a VIN checked PM me and I'll check it for ya.

And yes I can confirm that they never came with RB26DETT on the plates. I'd be worried if it did. Autech recieved the bodys after plates were fitted, then installed the 26's.

And the no cup holders thing is present in all manual models from what I can remember ad they hit the gearstick.

Recess for clutch does that mean you have power booster on clutch pedal? I have an R33GTR clutch pedal on my RS4T but no room for the power booster :(

Yes get an RS 260 if they are not too dear - worth it for the better brakes, stronger rear end and engine is easy to get a reasonable power increase. Get a Nistune chip, better dumps (don't know what exhaust they have but look at that) steel wheels for turboand a good ebc and wind the boost up. Stock they are a bit of a slug.

clutch booster is gay. didn't bother when I did mine. is a pedal really that hard to push?

Yes - have a very heavy duty clutch. Not a problem on the road or track but can be a pain in the Auckland traffic as car is my daily driver. However am managaing without power assistance!!

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
