woot, congrats on getting it on the road and letting the mods begin! Whats the sound like on the induction. I'm still running th stock box as i don't know what i really want to do with the car. Was the surround hard to fit.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh

hey Sean - the induction noise is now fantastic - you can hugely hear the sucking sound and the turbo spooling up! The CAI is very easy to fit. The whole operation of fitting the CAI and pod took around half an hour in my garage. By far the easiest thing I will ever do to it.

The gauges however took a significant amount of bracket fabrication time and stuffing around. All up I think it took around 6 hours.

The alarm, GPS, pager system, multiple internal piezos and various other security features were fitted today. :(

Segregated front/dump pipe (from Batmbl), Enhaust Control Valve, high flow cat and Jasma exhaust go on Thursday.

Then I have to sort the suspension thing out (and you can have your springs back). Looking at Apexi coilovers at this stage.

So on the weekend that leaves: HID kit, replace other globes with LEDs, reversing sensors, rear 400W 6.5" shelf speakers, 12" sub in box with amp, front door 6" DLS Splits, change all indicators to smoked, fit radiator hood, and various other items to do. So little time, so many little mods :P

yeah James, that's the one. Made by Apexi, and is basically a 3" stainless weld-in tube with a butterfly/throttle type setup, that can be opened and closed from a knob in the cabin.

My exhaust is very noisy, so I need this to quieten it down :( - but the beauty is I can still open it right up when I want to (only for track days of course).

I can HIGHLY recommend SydneyKid's susp. group by Andrew, the rides not too firm at all, and the handling is top notch (better than my Tein HA's without the super harsh ride).

And it's only going to get better once i (if i ever) fit the sway bars! :D

That's the R34 Group Buy.

thanks Ash, I do like the kit SydenyKid has put together, but I really want my setup to be fully damper and height adjustable. Still deciding though.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
