Yeah there isnt that many places to really open the car up in the hills (best left for the track anyway!!)

Are you buying privately, or through an importer?

Other Mods:

Apexi GT Spec FMIC

Apexi Turbo (380hp)

Apexi PowerFC

Apexi Boost Control Solenoid

Apexi N1 Coil-overs

3" Exhaust (Turbo Back)

High flow Cat

Bigger injectors (550cc or 700cc, not sure)

Aftermarket Fuel Pump

Standard Coils (For now...)

etc.. etc.. etc..

Through an importer mate.. Here in SA. Keep missing out on 33's now.. after initally wanting a Type X 180sx.

Oh well keep bidding and ill find one i guess.. Pretty much everything on your mod list i want.. bar the n1 coils.. i think ill go TEINS, maybe SARD 550ci injectors and hybrid FMIC/GTR even.

Sweet.. Well you'd probably have more luck finding a 33 than a 180sx. There is millions around now... Have you thought about buying through a Melb or Syd importer and shipping the car to you? You may save a bit of money, and they would also have more eyes at the auctions to find the car thats right for you.. Just a thought.

Cheers bud.

Im loyal to my importer as he is a friend of a friend..

Im really not that fussed about the $$ So long as i pick up an extremely clean example.

Trouble with type x's are they r rare as because they only came out 96-98 with the kits.

Still sellin for a dime in japan!

Wow - under 10:1 AFR..

Did you notice black smoke coming out the back or any black marks on the rear bumper?

Well guess what. I had my car at the tuner shop for 3 f**king hours. He charged me $300 (plus the other 2 1 hour tunes he "performed" recently before that)

and the f**kwit came up with this result.

NOw the car has a GT30, 500cc Injectors, powerfc and datalogit, exhaust and fmic, etc etc. Should be making 260rwkw.

See the dip in that torque curve? Hooking up my mates AFR revealed that it was running at 9:1 at that point.

And this tuner is supposed to be good? My f**ken ass.

tune it yourself. it cant be that hard. sydneykid has explained it before so do a search on his username for "dyno" or something and you should find it, was about 9 months ago. or road trip to melb and get it sorted :)

eww... that bites man! tell him to give your money back and go elsewhere. I know you might not have too much choice in your area, but screw getting charged that much for a shitty tune :)

dude, his af's are near perfect. around 11.8:1, probably just on the safe side of things, which is what you want. i would be extremely happy with a tune, power curve, price of tune like that on my car.

    • 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 🍻
