Hi all,

Thought it's about time to make a post since I've been lurking these forums for about 8 months now.

Managed to get a hold of a 260RS

Here it is immediately after purchase:

And here it is after vicroads abused* my wallet today:

Current notable modifications are:

Coilovers (still need to crank them down)

S2 centre console

And the next thing on the stag-menu is a turbo-back exhaust!

Since im new, treat me gentle ;)

Lol, welcome...sort of belatedly. Love the P-plates, one of the few cars fitted with an RB26 that won't draw cops...

Yeah I went through a booze bus 3 days ago and they didnt even blink :)

However full license as of next month anyway

Ive been driving it for about a month now and the only issue I have is a clunk in the rear when changing gears rapidly. It came with a catback exhaust from Japan and Ive been told that it is most likely hitting the rear diff as there isnt much clearance above it at all.

be careful with that, i got pulled up last week and the police officer told me they are pulling over stags alot more now becuase they have cuaght out a heap of "p platers" driving them illegally thinking police dont know they are turbod, i would be putting it in your garage for a month and not run the risk of losing your license or your car.... booze buses wont check, they are there for a reason, drink drivers, not defects.

Full license is as of 03/09, and I have my own business registered under an ABN, so thats how ive been driving it so far without risk.

Not sure if this is the biggest coincidence or what but same with me!

Full licence next Monday. woohooo!

btw, ride looks neat as.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
