since i have a complicated boot instal going in soon for the car, im just wondering how hard/possible it is to relocate the battery to the engine bay where the other power section is? i could have even more room since the washer bottle will be removed... this will make access when needed to it shitloads easier etc...

how big of a job would it be for a n auto elec to do.

cheers...ben.

If you get a chance, check out a R33 sedan engine bay, as they have the battery located there. The battery is on the left hand side. Possibly even different, window washer bottle and readiator overflow as well.

I honestly reakon it would be easy, once you find a location for it. You'll have the standard thick cable gong to your boot for your audio system. Even if you replace the cable, you'll have the conduate to protect the new cable.

if i was you, i wouldnt eveen relocate to the engine bay.

i have attached some pics that show where my battery is now, on the drivers side of the boot, tucked away and will have some holes drilled soon into the chassis to have a securing peice put around.

all that happens is you extend/replace the positive wire and ground wire, and then whola, battery moved.

thats pretty bodge... plus like i stated in my 1st post, the reason i wanted to move it to the engine bay is because the stereo going in the boot, no matter where in the boot i can put my battery theres no point, i might as well leave it where it is now no difference...

Its not too hard really it would be the exact opposite of what i did to move my battery to the boot in my 32.

There was a thread about it a while ago (cant remember what forum) where a guy move his battery from the boot to the engine bay in his 33.

I'll try and find it and post it up for you :P

      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 🍻
