Updates !!! Hahah thanks for sharing mate it’s hard to find 260RS stuff, I’m seriously at the point of purchasing and I want to know as much as I can, hard to find as much as gtrs have about it

What’s the cam cover color mate ?? Looks fantastic !!!

Pumped to see more vids of this car! I did the twin-turbo removal with engine in the car a couple of months back using JDM Right Hand Drive's video as a guide - real painful job but his guide was perfect. My advice would be get a very long, very thin, 12 mm - there's a couple of manifold bolts you just can't get a socket on and you'll want something with exended reach and low profile. Also don't be me and forget to disconnect the oil return hoses while your uinder the car disconnecting the exhaust...

Looking good man. Couple things; I know your car is back together since this was done, but when rtv-ing the baffles, you wanna make sure there are no big globs once it's all cinched down. Much like the tiny screws, you don't want any rtv falling off over time and getting in the valvetrain, which rtv has the tendency to do over time. If you ever go big single and have to take them off again maybe take a look. Also, I have the same Fitmint igniter delete panel; make sure those screws are threadlocked as well, as I would find mine had come loose over time. Not the hugest danger, but it's a PITA to lose those screws and spacers. Other than that, congrats on getting the intake manifold out; that was really damn hard I found. Just barely enough room to get it out, and undoing hoses and bolts under the plenum and out of view was the funnest part hah

What part of VA are you in? Im in Hampton roads and seen there is a 260rs running around. I have 2 stageas headed over early next year from Japan. They are both 99's/ The one im keeping has a 260rs body kit.

I would really love to do the same thing getting a 260RS. Who and where did you get the importing done through?

Great video! My wife and I are in the process of bringing a 260RS to the US as well- any recommendations on where to read up on maintenance, parts to replace, etc? We have a few sources we are studying up on, but would love to learn more!

What do you think of it?

😕 'promo sm'

Damn! Looks good 🍻

Valve/Coil covers look magic! I run one of the Fitmint valley ornaments, but only because mine had the red '34 covers and I didn't like that it said "Skyline" on top of the engine. In this case the factory Nissan one definitely wins out.

Good stuff brother!

So awesome, can’t wait to have mine. Aside from what you’re waiting on, what’s next on the list of parts ?

Fairly certain that with the possible exception of the NISMO timing belt - every single other aftermarket option is a rebranded Gates (the Greddy ones definitely are). Gates make a great product, but I went back to OE Nissan because the rest make a wub-wub-wub-wub noise regardless of how good you get the tension. Also 90% sure sealant should go around the water pump - Was it not caked with that horrible red-brown Nissan stuff when you took it off? Build is looking Epic! Can't wait to see it done.

Cool build plan. Im looking into importing one and not sure what im gettin myself into. Tryna do my yt homework studying ahead of time.

I too just bought one back in March. Waiting for it to arrive. You have instagram?

More vids please 🍻

Cool video James, congrats on your Stagea 260RS. These cars are a labor of love. Have fun with your build.👍

Looks great!

That #60 corvette looks pretty serious.

Push push push and then just touch

Great save!
