I'll be buying one from PSI parts soon... Definitely need a vented bonnet, things are getting very warm.

Well car is now back on the road - in it's run-in tune

Here are some updates of the engine bay and run-in tune.

Engine bay looks tidy. Great power figures for a run in tune. Let us know what it makes when its run in.

just got my coilovers installed by Anth & Alex @ Dahtone Racing :P

McDrifto - love it!

seriously i'd just leave it like that and not ruin it with any bullshit kits or rims

:D

sif leave the stockies on for looks. get some deepdish 16' or 17' if u wanna leave the car at that height. agree bout the kit tho

fark man your rear camber tyre were that low will be awesome... :thumbsup:

heres my nugget yesterday.

got my standard 33 rims back on as they have my semi's (r32 gtst rims painted black for normal driving)

post-24539-1205634603_thumb.jpg

ive decided to save up for some new rims so it sits higher and also i want a CF hood - no crazy body kits here :)

i adjusted the coilovers to the highest possible safe point (left 2cm of tread in the purches/cups) and measured all 4 so they were even lol

the coils themselves are all the way up and cant go any higher... that means it wasnt on the lowest setting yesterday LOL

heres a pic of the car at its highest setting

:)

what coilovers are they? are they bottoming out at that height?

HSD coilovers with soft spring rate. They dont bottom out and it wasnt on the lowest setting in the previous pics, the ride is smooth!!!

In the previous pics the bottom purches/cups were wound all the way down, the coils themselves were all the way up. The coilovers could of been wound down a lot, which if it was you wouldnt be worrying about bottoming out because your car would be dragging on the floor

    • 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 🍻
