might have a hit at importbitz at virginia... they have 2 hicas racks sitting there apparently, with the tie rod ends and rack ends still on them....

am going down there in the morning to have a look to see if a) they are from a '32 (as they're different to 33 and 34 i'm led to believe) and b) that they're in use-able condition (i soooo hope they are, or i'll cry)

have tried fulcrum... twice... the first place advised that they have the rack ends in stock - apparently they're "The same as a pulsar" (WTF?) but the tie rod ends would only be available genuine Nissan, and Nissan had NFI what they were talking about as they couldn't understand the diagram on their system.

Then tried Fulcrum Moorooka who told me they had no idea what i was talking about.

fulcrum suspension at capalaba is the best i've delt with, PM me and i'll see if I can pull some strings at work, can at least get fulcrum's part numbers.

I also have a contact at nissan, PM me and i'll give you the details, he won't bullsh*t you around like most!

Just let me know exactly wat ur after and your car details etc...

major setback :)

after picking the parts up yesterday morning and dropping the car off at the workshop around 10am, i was told that it should be ready by around 3pm yesterday afternoon....

i get a call at 3pm saying that they've spent the last 2 hours looking at the car, and they can't figure out how to change the tie rod end balljoints without pulling the whole rear end apart as the old ones have to be pressed out and new ones pressed in.... they're estimating it will be ready by early next week now :)

      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 🍻
