got done for a bov awhile back, then it got defected again.

the defect i bought it on was for the height of the rear wheel arch being too low and something really minor I cant think of atm. Just been taking its time getting other stuff done, like air-flow metre switch for the computer etc.

the 11th it goes through regency, so hopefully by that weekend the struts, etc have been swapped back :)

I shall enjoy the FJ.... big step up from a pintara lol. the hard part will be trying not to kill myself in it haha

Yeah last i heard from crimmo it'd been done for a bov, cop followed all the vacuum lines until he found the bov! Bastards!!

Height of the rear wheel arch being to low??? WTF???? OR are you talking in the back of the car was to low???

It had a haltech in it as well yeah?? Did you swap the haltech back out for the standard ecu????

Your lucky its got the vg30 on it, at least its a nice progressive turbo, nothing like the standard thing, light switch on at 4k jobby bloody things, can anyone say LAG!

Tom said they measured the wheel arches. but he also said the cops had no idea, and were protesting it was an R31 and doing everything as if it were an r31 cos thats all they had on their systems. but apparently the car has gone through regency a few times at that height, so the cops must of been f**kheads.

Yeah still has the Haltech in it, but someone is working some magic on it for regency :)

You know more bout my car then me :) I had no idea bout the turbo. I only listened to 1/2 of what Tom was saying bout it...... I just wanted a DR30 and made my mind up bout buying the car before I had looked @ it the flesh haha.

Now your making me look forward to driving my car even more =D

Show them the rego sticker which quite plainley states in there that its a DR30, even on the fire wall...bloody gay police officers!! Only time i've been pulled over, (first day i owned it mind you) they tried to do me for height, but had nothing in the book on my car, did licence and rego check and was sent on my way...only to blow the alternator up not long after...bloody bloody!

What magic are they working on the haltech can i ask?

Yeah i know a little bit about it, was around crimmo a fair bit whilst he was rebuilding it and giving it some love lol!! Its a clean as car though!

That reminded me of the other defect, the old number in the firewall wasnt in there, cos it got damaged, Tom in his wisdom never got around to putting the new plates in.

I got told by my brothers mate, that the cops have nothing pre 31, so just like you said the Dr30 should only be a warning when comes to that shit :happy: Im also going to keep the papers from Regency in there also just to be safe, so they cant harass me too much.

Stuipid thing though, I heard the car has been through regency a number times at the same height and never been questioned, Tom must of ran into the wrong cop when he got defect. but atleast I got a cheap DR30 out of it :P

    • 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 🍻   
    • 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?”
