The Resoviours always leak...especially when driven hard. You'll see most 33's at the track with a sock or something over the PS resoviour.

Pretty sure you can use auto transmission fluid (Dexron) stuff. Best to wait till someone confirms this for me.

i bought some of the nulon powersteering fluid with a addative to stop leaks. stoped the fluid from dropping too low, but it still gets the look as though its been leaking.

must've been a factory option, and everyone seems to have ticked the "leaking power steering res." box.

Alternatively, there are PS lines in the engine bay, on the drivers side, running down to the rack.

The rubber pipes are clamped to metal pipes, and they commonly leak there. You can get to the pipes from the top or bottom, and new pipe and clamps should be cheap. (if they're really oily)

It can leak from rack seals, check from wetness around rack boots, can leak from hoses also as they crack and become perished with age. They only put material over the brake and clutch master cylinder reseviours to catch leaks from the breather outlet, as it sloshes around more when your on the track due to high cornering loads/speeds. If the system is leaking check it out and get it sorted.

      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 🍻
