Just mostly out of curiosity I am wondering if any 260RS owners could tell me what their part number on their engine ECU.

I would assume that it will be 23710-26U00 or similiar (ala R33 GTR) and obviously RS-Four will be 23710-0V??? but my engine ECU number is not even close to either of those. I suspect it is R34 but not sure................

Anyone?

Stageas use hybrid R33/R34 ECU's.

The plug on the RS4's is R34, so id assume they did similar with the 260RS's. You might also find that the tune on a GTR ecu vs a 260RS ecu is also slightly different. What they did in RS4's was improve torque a little at the compromise of some top end power.

I know but everything I have found wiring wise, as I have just replaced EVERY scrap of wiring in my RS-Four with 260RS wiring was XXXXX-26UXX which is R33 yet the ECU was 23710-0A??? which is R34-ish.

I should mention I suspect the engine is an R34 GTR unit

hi trukboy,

Im assuming you have an RS4 that you are trying to make a 260 replica with?

I dont know if a 96 model 260 was ever made, but mine is a 97 model, which branches the gap between the last 33gtr being made and the start of the 34s, mine has parts from both, is a 33 block but the clutch set up is 34, so they definitely made a hybrid unit when doing making the 260.

Where abouts is the number you are looking for? I can see if i can check the computer in my 260 for you.

Your valley cover is a bit intersting having the GTR cover on it as the 260 wasnt released with that cover, not being a gtr of course.

R33 GTR and r34 GTR clutches are the same, both pull type

The engine could just have a R34 cam cover, but the best thing would be to FAST the engine number

There was a change over in there somewhere between push and pull types, the change was towards the end of the 33's run.

FAST the engine number??

The change over was on the late r32 GTR's 1994 models, not the R33's

FAST is the Nissan parts number system

You can enter a Vin number or engine number to verify what type of engine it is or if the car was a genuine 260RS etc or a fake

Some people on here have it installed

I have reshelled a 1998 260RS into my 96 RS-Four. The number I want to check is on the ECU itself behind the LH kick panel. Unfortunately I don't have FAST but if I can find the engine number perhaps someone can check it for me.

Thanks Grim

FAST will be able to tell what ecu it is aswell

PM Alexcim, he has it

JUST Curious... with all the issues us stagea owners seem to have with out ECU's having carptacularly uniquer pinout diagrams etc... why don't we just get an entire R33 loom and ECU and re-wire the bloody thing...

I havn't done much elec- work, but i guess it could be easier tan mucking around with pins et.al...and then having to go back and muck around when it comes time to sell and all that other stuff... why not just do a loom swaop and then it would be swap in swap out?

*remembers that a loom costs money*

*remembers that he would then either have to re-solder his entire loom near the firewall or run wires all the way to ex-temp sensors, AFM etc etc which are going to inevitably be in stupidly diffucult to reach places...*

...decides to muck around with pinout stuff on a piggy back computer*

never mind

I did that but I swapped a complete 260RS loom in, time consuming but no too hard.

I checked under the lefthand kick panel, number on the computer is 23710 0A903 and below that has R585 A1 7Y20.

Thanks Ben!!!! Thats all I needed. Confirms everything I needed to know. Cheers for that. Just means the 260's still run a hybrid C34/R34 ECU. Awesome :wave:

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
