where do u get a front grill like that? did it come with the badge or did u have to stick one on?

The grill came with the car. My understanding of this grill is that it came with all series 1's. Not 100% sure on that though... thats just what i been told by some ppl.

Now there's a step in the right direction, also car has come a long way mate good to see you kept it and continued to mod it. i think get rid of the wing and put a drift lip on the back, and finish off the rest of the kit.

Thanks man... only got sideskirts, review exterior side mirrors and rear-wing to go :D

Hey John, did you paint the dash?? What paint did you use?? How did you remove that shitty coating that is on the dash originally?

The current coat in the car was done by dan... I brought some stuff from supercheap and did it in dan's garage one night but came out disgusting. Dan brought some other stuff and re-did it for me and turned out to what it looks like today.

There is still a bit more to do with the respraying of the inside... wanna do the arm rest on the doors, etc as well.

John, your grill is a series 1.5 Otherwise known as the 'airbag' model ;)

PS. When are you ditching the shopping trolley wing?

PPS. Nice work :) I've been watching this car since you got it. Many late night trips to Yatala & random photo shoots with dodgy borrowed cameras later, it's looking schmick :D

well, did a engine compression test the other week at shanes and the engine is in perfect condition for its age and the k's that have been clocked up.

still possibly looking at doing a engine rebuild over the next few months though along with a turbo upgrade and highmount manifold.

      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 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
