Thought I'd stick the build pocess of the second evolution of my 260RS.

My car came off the road in February after an incident involving 2 blocked injectors, an incorrectly added 8 degrees of timing advancement, 30PSI boost spike and 8,500RPM.

So I left it off the road to do the car once and for all (audio, aesthetics, power).

I have this thing for stainless steel. Every bolt in the engine bay is stainless allen key head cap screw. Every nut and washer stainless. Whether is is for the engine, guards, brackets, clips, whatever, it's all stainless. The doors are held on by stainless bolts, the interior panels throughout the entire boot are stainless, so too is everything with the audio. I needed to make a battery clamping system. I had several ideas, then binned them so I could use stainless.

Yes, I need to go to Stainless Anonymous...

New plenum...

The wiring nightmare....

This is the charging system and sub lines. It's kind of messy, but at least this way it is very easily tracable for all the wires (IGN, ACC, front battery, rear batteries, EQ's fibre optical lines, EQ IP BUS line, solenoid, voltmeter earths, ammeter earths, fuse breaker earths, fuel pumps relay system, system remote relay system...) The list keeps going...

At least it is all hidden...

The front is back on. All parts repainted or replaced. Stainless cap screws as per usual...:

Door panel made. It's been dropped off to get covered:

Stereo all works. Rather loud... Needs a serious tune though. I'll do that when the car is finished

Making a cold air box (template) that seals on the bonnet itself. There is surprisingly little room in an engine bay with no engine in it. Height was the issue really...

Feet...

Like a glove:

There a couple of mm spare to allow for the sealing system:

Templates getting cut then thermal procoated.

The intercooler is kind of deep (115mm):

So I modified the bumper:

DSC00494_.jpg

Figured I may as well move the oil cooler again, and will modify the bumper more by adding a side air scoop / duct for the oil cooler:

And now the bits that bolt onto the plenum are shiny too:

all those photo's make me dizzy. :P

shall be one hell of a 260RS (and debt for that matter) when its done however..

that engine crane is a bloody good idea!

i assume it lets you adjust the angle of the engine? i had issues as i dropped the whole engine and box in mine, and the angle had to be steep to get the box under the tunnel, then i struggled to pull it back up and drop the engine on the mounts.

PS: what are you lurking down there for dale? still trying to clean up the mess you made? >_<

Most of us here own a Stagea, but this is undoubtably THE Stagea to rule all!

Good work - that's gotta take a hell of a lot of dedication, money and sanity.

There was a heavily-modded 260RS for sale on J-Spec a few weeks ago, but it's got nothing on this monster!

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
