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 :banana:

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?

yeah he did neil some one did a RH turn infront of him click his username and find threads he's started... got pics and all, doesnt look good :)

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.

Ouch man just seen the photo's... Wow

Yeah it wouldnt be to hard for a good panel beater, its just all the fidly bits that will take up the time, i know of a S1 260RS frontcut here in WA, might be of some use?

Best of luck with it man, hope it all works out for you, the car was looking sweet.

Neil, I have just sent you a PM.

If you're after quality Nissan parts-interpretation, speak to the Spare Parts Manager @ Grand Nissan - Terry Russell. I've been dealing with Terry for 15 years for all my genuine parts needs for every Nissan I've ever owned.

cheers mate. Alan is already talking to Lakeside nissan, but i'll let him know.

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.

for sure man. Just sent you a PM

did u get my PM with the contact details for the front cut?

yeh i did cheers, but the guy isn't replying very promptly via email.

I managed to get a contact number but he doesn't answer his phone.

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.

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
