Well,

7 months ago I was made an offer on my R33 GTR that I could not turn down! After watching her been towed away I had made the decision to put the profits back into the house.....well that's what I told myself I was gonna do!!! One of my good mates had made the decision not to continue on in the car seen, so after some negotiating we made an offer on what you see here. To start with most of the car was built by the previous owner, how ever some loss of interested saw it go a little south. Determined to have a car for this years powercruise I set myself that challenge to get this bad boy back up to scratch....

Car is running a built Rb26/30 and 300zx 4spd built box with a 5000rpm stall converter + transbreak

Morning of picker the car up

Chose the same colour as my new Jeep so it would match while towing :)

Decided to open the motor up and have a look around. Good thing we did as we found some bearing wear. All new bearings and main studs fitted.

While we were there fitted a tomei oil pump, Kulig Engineering crank trigger kit and customer enlarged sump and ATI balancer

Once the engine bay was finished being painted we moved onto the new turbo, manifold and wastegate for the car

Moved onto the intercooler piping and started painting everything we could in black

Well after playing around the inside I had to pay the outside some attention so we gave her a quite paint over a weekend

On our way to get her tuned

After driver 3 1/2 hours from Brisbane to Hervey Bay so Brad at Turning Point could get his tune on, dropped the car off and left it in Brads hands to get her sorted. The boys did come into some issues with the car and we had changed a few things from previous but this was to be expected. The car was running 1000cc sard injectors witch were swapped out for some bosch 1700s that I had but unfortunately they didnt want to play ball. After chagning all the plugs etc for the bosch injectors we had to change them back to the 1000's. On E85 the car stands at 630rwhp which should be nice to drive with the built 4spd 300zx box behind her!!!

Will post some video's of the tune once I have some..

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again
