Hey all I have a real prob here and I am wondering if any of u guys have a solution or fix. I serviced my car over the weekend by myself, "Yeah Baby!" , quite proud of myself as I am not a car guy at all thank you skylines australia. Now heres the prob with tht nothings leaking everything went back on the right place but when i start her up and have here idle i can hear a chirping noise and it wasnt there b4 my self service plus its only there on idle and to about 1500 rpm. The oil i used was castrol syntec blend 10w 30 par synthetic and i put 4 quarts back in the car. I bought 5 quatrs but only put 4 back in. Now when i pull the dipstick to check the oil ,this is now many runs later, the oil is right above the L mark now b4 you guys say well u need more oil let me explain the dipstick has L then some scratch marks then the H mark and then the dipstick groove, now the oil is by the L but also when i look further up by the groove oil is there also but none by the H. Do I need more oil or is it another prob also I went to check and see if the speedlimitter wire was cut on my r33 gts-t and I found the wierdest thing. I knew I had a radar detector in the car before it was shipped but after i picked it up from the dock thieves had cut the wires to the detector and removed the adapter for the cigarette lighter ne way i had no idea where the wires ran so i left them alone. Now as I was going to check out my speedlimiter wire i noticed the strangest thing one of the wires were spliced to the cut wire from the radar detector splice via crimp cap now the speedlimiter wire wasnt cut just spliced with it does ne1 now for wht reason and how does this affect my car? Thanks.

First off, you need to wipe the dipstick before you actually read the oil level, ie, pull it out, wipe the oil off, replace it, and pull it out and read.

The oil higher up the dipstick is probably from splash, that's why you need to wipe first. Also, before you measure the level, make sure all the oil has drained back to the sump - leave the engine off for a few minutes to ensure all the oil drains back.

about the wires being spliced, were any other wires spliced? it may be that it has either had a speedcut defender on it (gets rid of the speed limiter), or if other wires have been spliced then it may have had a piggy back ecu on it.

Hey thanks 4 the reply and there were no other wires spliced just the 53 wire and it was spliced to wht looks like a radar detector will see if i can take a pic and post it.

    • 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 🍻
