Hi All,

This is for all 260RS owners out there.

I understand that R33 Gtr have low impedence injectors and have a resistor pack mounted on the strut Tower.

260Rs have same running gear but engine bay has some subtle differences. Eg. Battery

In particular I'd like to know where is the damn resistor pack in the stagea?

I've looked everywhere. If people could put up a picture of their engine bay of they're still running low impedance injectors.

On a GTR it is on the drivers side, in front of the strut tower. Small silver box with 8 wires coming in. Can you take a pic of your bay?

Yes thats where ive been looking and no silver box. On the R32 GTRs its mounted on the same bracket as the boost solenoid. On the R33 GTRs its as you mentioned above. On the 260RS No sign of it ever been there.

The boost solenoid is actually wedged between the battery and the fuse/relay box on the 260rs. You can barely see it. Ive seen some pictures of stock 260rs's on the net and none show the resistor pack on the strut tower.

I have heard that the resistor pack can be wired anywhere between the ECU and the injectors, is that right??

Anyway this is my engine bay.

I think that big grey plug is the injector loom, can you follow it back?

Yes, the resistor can be anywhere. You can check inside near the ecu perhaps, also the fuse box is much larger on the 260, it's not under or inside it is it?

No-one has changed the injectors already? I can't really see them from the photo. You could try measuring their resistance...

Good point about being under/around the fuse box.

Would have thought it would be as close as it can be to the injector loom. can you not follow everything that hangs off that ?

No blank plug with wiring turned back into itself?

In my 32GTR they have just put a plug in it.

(I use it as an anti theft device. Pull the plug out and put it in my pocket. Turns over but will never ever start :thumbsup:)

I thought of that since there was so much space underneath the fuse box but nothing unfortunately, only the boost solenoid.

I thought someone may have changed the injectors but they are the standard low impedance GTR ones (checked them with a multi-meter).

No blank plugs or anything, I've followed all the cables from the injectors back and they seem to tie in to the loom that runs along the firewall and then through it to the ECU.

BUT..... After 3 days of seriously non stop searching google and SAU i finally found this

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/402139-rb26-injector-ballast-where-do-i-plug-it-in-on-rb26-loom/

and sure enough its located behind the passenger headlight under the airbox /pods up against the fender wall. As per the pictures. Seriously i have no idea why its so far away and also how they wired it up. It may actually be that massive grey plug sticking up away from near the FPR.

I wonder what else is differently located. While we are on the topic of 260RS differences, one thing ive never found an answer to is whether the ECU pinout for R33 GTR and Stagea 260RS are identical.

I have the Japanese Stagea manual for all series 1 Stags and the R33 Engine Manual for all R33 engines but I cant find anywhere a manual for the 260RS and it seems there is a consensus that the ecu may be a hybrid R33/34.

Can anyone help on this?

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
