Differences Between Rs4 And 260rs

[BIT SUS]

After my nasty accident, the question has been raised about getting parts for my 260.

Does anyone know what the differences are in the front end between a S1 RS4 and a S1 260RS?:

Anyone with access to FAST would be my best friend right now

So far the obvious ones are:

Holes and brackets in the chassis for the front mount intercooler.

different front bar, and grille.

are the headlights different? I don't remember seeing a RS4 with black surrounds behind the lenses.

are the front indicators different?

are there much piping differences?

any help greatly appreciated

There were quite a few differences we found. All the holes as you mentioned, the front chassis rails were chopped for the bov return, the actual rad support seemed different (allthough we went from S2-S1), no idea on lights sorry.

The holes to mount alot of things were actually there, like the mounts for the bottom of the intercooler etc, was suprising.

Did you have a front end crash? And looking to replace the front part with a RS4 part from a 1/2 cut or something?

yeh mate, im trying to help out the crash repairer in knowing what parts will be needed for the repair work. From what I've seen and what I have been told, it will need all the chassis from the strut towers forward. I'm assuming that a RS4 front cut will be ok, providing that all the correct holes are drilled and all the mounts are made for all the RB26 related gear. - All type crash built thier own custom Drift cars, so this shouldnt be too hard for them.

Tell them that if its written off you want to buy the wreck - they may offer it to you first before putting it up for auction. I bought my write off for $1200 that way.

Aaah crap sorry man.

no luck on the half cut, its got too much missing, and communication is an issue.

guess i just sit tight and wait for the quotes to be tallied. Apparently the hold up is waiting for japan to reply with pricing....

having trouble sleeping, cos i dont know if it will be written off or not...

I did an RB26 then a Masa 34 conversion on an RS4. I found everything was fine to swap all to 26 stuff. Logically I had tt cut the hole on the drivers side under the battery and the mounts for the BOV pipe, but everything else was fine. The FMIC lower brackets go straight into the rail as they should etc. All the radiator supports etc are all the same, even from series 1 to 2. Series 2 is just an S1 with different guards, bonnet, lights and grille.
