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?

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
