rs260 is basically running a gtr engine and drivetrain rs4 is rb25 with different drivetrain not as tough mostly autos and lower spec interior rs260 is manual only and has triple gauge cluster in the dash and piano finish black dash inserts vs silver on s1 rs4 and nicer trim on seats

Rs4

4.3 diff ratios front and rear

single spinner rear diff

small n/a style axles on rear

small brakes (like tiny) on front and rear

different rear hubs with different shockies mountings

also i woulnt be surprised if the front axles are smaller than gtr ones :whatsthat

260rs

4.11 diff ratios front and rear

mechanical LSD rear diff

330mm rotors on front (back? im unsure)

brembo 4 spot calipers front and 2 spot rears

large gtr rear axles and all gtr running gear

aluminium hubs and gtr style mountings for shockies

trust me the stagea is far from a gtr with a rb25/auto in it thats for sure, they definately save some $$$ when choosing parts for the rs4's :confused:

autech is a killer and only issue i am having with rb26 in a stagea is the weight factor and 2.6L pulling 1900kg or whatever is quite difficult (even with 360-370rwhp) and im considering changing to the rb31 bottom end, but not sure at the moment, just wait and see :Pimp2:

cheers :cheers:

I thought the LSD was an option on the RS4 stageas - and it was standard on the series 2 manuals.

Apart from that, does anyone know if Brad's list above for the RS4 also applies to the series 2??? I haven't been able to find out anywhere on the web, but given they have the much better Neo motor & Turbo & Intercooler, did nissan put better axles/brakes/hubs on it as well?

I've partly answered my own question by using the parts thread..

For the brakes - (front, then back)

WGNC34 RB25DET 25.4 CL28VF 42.8×2 280×28 AD11V 38.18 266×16

WG(N)C34 RB25DET 25.4 CLZ31VA 45.0×2 290×28 AD11VB 38.18 292×16

ie the series 2 might not have gone to the good x4 ones, but did get both bigger pads on the front, and bigger disks on the front and back...

just finished complying R34 s2  sedan NON turbo :front  discs are 310 x 30 rear 295 x18 @

1430kg ...2.5 stagea seems to be a bit out of touch in the brake dept.. s1 and s2  

brembo setup on 260 is brilliant .deals with weight pretty easy

I believe you (!) but those numbers are different to anything I've been able to find...

My understanding is that there wasn't a s1 and s2 version on the 260, there was only one version of it (ie they didn't do a r34 gtr based one)

sorry meant s1 s2 of 2.5 stagea...

although the is s1 s2 260 but is just minor face lift ..lights in grill different bar and front indicators ..running gear is all the same

regarding the brakes on n/a 34 ...couldn`t believe it either ..same size as gtr r32 .... ..this sedan is a GT-V grade and was told by my supplier when I asked what is GT-V ...is turbo car ...without turbo..

it appears that this is correct

VY 2003 commonwhore 3.8 v6 152kw @ 1526kg..just to keep things in perspective..

147kw @1430kg is sufficent for what it is.. a 4 door sedan

And things really in perspective :-)

Any commodore car: Piece of junk that really should be sent back in time to the late 70's, when it would then be accepted as 'ok'

R34 GTT 4 door - 206+kw, 1450kg. - 142Kw/ton

VY 2003 commonwhore 3.8 v6 152kw @ 1526kg - 99.6 kw/ton

R34 GTV 147kw @1430kg 102 kw/ton

So yes, it is better than a commodore AND has much better brakes/steering/suspension/ etc etc etc. No argument there.

But nothing like a turbo skyline!

The difference between a R33 GTT

180KW, 1400kg - 128kw/ton and the R34 is very very noticable, let alone the difference between the turbo and non turbo version!

Sorry to dig up a REALLY OLD thread, but I figure it is best to keep all of the info in the one place. Has anyone learned much about this in the past year? :D

How does the 260RS drivetrain compare to the S2 Manual?

Thanks :P

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
