Hi all,

Thought it's about time to make a post since I've been lurking these forums for about 8 months now.

Managed to get a hold of a 260RS

Here it is immediately after purchase:

And here it is after vicroads abused* my wallet today:

Current notable modifications are:

Coilovers (still need to crank them down)

S2 centre console

And the next thing on the stag-menu is a turbo-back exhaust!

Since im new, treat me gentle ;)

Lol, welcome...sort of belatedly. Love the P-plates, one of the few cars fitted with an RB26 that won't draw cops...

Yeah I went through a booze bus 3 days ago and they didnt even blink :)

However full license as of next month anyway

Ive been driving it for about a month now and the only issue I have is a clunk in the rear when changing gears rapidly. It came with a catback exhaust from Japan and Ive been told that it is most likely hitting the rear diff as there isnt much clearance above it at all.

be careful with that, i got pulled up last week and the police officer told me they are pulling over stags alot more now becuase they have cuaght out a heap of "p platers" driving them illegally thinking police dont know they are turbod, i would be putting it in your garage for a month and not run the risk of losing your license or your car.... booze buses wont check, they are there for a reason, drink drivers, not defects.

Full license is as of 03/09, and I have my own business registered under an ABN, so thats how ive been driving it so far without risk.

Not sure if this is the biggest coincidence or what but same with me!

Full licence next Monday. woohooo!

btw, ride looks neat as.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
