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?

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
