Hey everyone.

Today when i was attempting to bolt on my new high mount turbo manifold which i had made a while

back, i discovered the people that made it to suit my car, snapped one of the threaded rods in the engine.

another one looks like they've gone at it with a grinder. cut bout 3mm of it back. wtf? And theres a third one

that just missing all together. i dare not to ask. lol

Long story short, i need to drill it out i guess. Who can i get to do that? And how much will it cost?

I was thinking bout taking them all out and just using bolts rather than the threaded rods with nuts.

Is that ok to do?

Also i bought a greddy plenum for my r33 rb25det, with the q45 throttle body, but i need to get the 4 bolts to fix the tb to the plenum. Where's the best place to get these.

Some days, cars are just frustrating, lol.

Thanks peoples.

Sorry to bring this thread back up, but wondering if anyone know where to get the bolts for the manifold, the ones that attach the manifold to the block??

Thanks Rob

Hey Rob,

U can get the bolts/studs from a nissan dealership.

From wat i know all rb engines use the same ones.

From wat i was told there about $3 each.

If u need them installed, the thread doctor does a fantastic job.

his number is 0419 507 633.

Cheers.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
