Ok..

Even though i can see it from 2 different points of view.. I will try and obide by the unwritten rules of the forums... this will be my main post for my car and its progress.. if it is updated.. (duh) the time date will be updated)

I will link a few posts that i have done already and the rest will be in here.

Ok here is the car pretty stock.. All i had done at that stage was get the tinting done + remove some dicky strips that were on the car.. ( yes the tinting is legal.. its just a kick ass grade that looks darker then what it is)

actually.. heres a pic of it without tinting and the strip of doom. (see attached)

Tinting + Clean up

After that i started on the performance a little.. I took the car to all star on the dyno day and got a very modest 123kw of power on stock boost.. it was a good number to start on.

21/02/07

I went out and bought a Apexi Power intake (from slidewise) that week and installed that badboy.. i noticed straight away that there was a little more juice under the hood.

After that i was tossing and turning on what to do next.. but since Aussieland is hotter then Japan i thought that a FMIC was a good option..

I got one of the JustJap FMIC's off the forums here and got mark to give me a hand "bolting" it on.

Was a 4 hour job but in the end i was happy with the work and was also happy i was getting my hands dirty by helping on the install..again mark... thanks :)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=158803 << Front mount install topic

We kept the front bumper on there and did not cut the whole out in the middle.. so at this stage my car looks dead stock.. but when it winds up it dont.

So at this stage due to the FMIC i now have a 9psi boost

Also i used the how-to topic for maxing the boost on the stock solenoid ( as in to keep it a constant 7psi by permanent grouding of the ground wire).

05/03/07

Last night my handbrake boot gaiter arrived.. and i must say i am very happy with the quality... Noel have a look at it @ Cactus jacks as i know you were after one... put that on in 2 minutes.. didnt think a how-to post was needed for that as we already have some fantastic ones on the forums on how to remove the inside panels.

19/11/07

Finially put an exhaust on it, got a Rob Bliss one installed, got it from a fellow forum goer, Basicly it is the full system bar changing the turbo mani.

3" with a high flow cat.

Ill put it on the dyno again soon, id expect a few more bikkies for my dollar now.

Looking good. I just got a apexi pod from slide last week. Best price world wide.

Id agree with you about getting a exhaust next.

Also look at getting a turbotech manual boost control, even when set to stock boost i found it starts boosting slightly earlier.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
