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?

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
