Nice, I love the red but its a pity it fades so bad with time. Thats with any red though.

What'd set you back locally?

yeh, ill try keep the polishing etc up so it doesnt fade...

it cost me $16,300 with a years reg and rwc. also has all the import papers and he gave me 6 wheels (4x stockies and 2x work wheels) everything he had, he gave me for nothing.

Loks Nice Jarryd.

Damn you, you also got S2 tail lights.

Now we need to organise a Melb Stagea Cruise.

PS. I hate you Jarryd lol I was meant to be the only melb member with red

yes, melb stagea cruise is good idea.

and lol, im sorry.

Nice mate, good work.

Not bad a price, interesting actually, I scored my S1 dayz 2yrs ago for $17800 (didnt get extra wheels, lol)

that was with catback exhaust, pod, apexi boost guage and solenoid adjusted to 10psi

Good pickup there in my opinion.

funny you should mention polishing my observant wife noticed just recently on the net somewhere it's not advisable to polish cars with sfhc, be interesting to see if anyone can shed any light on that.

Nah, thats a bit of a crock, you can polish SFHC (Super Fine Hard Coat - its a clear coat paint treatment put on in the factory. If you Stagea has it SFHC will be on your back window at the bottom) What you need to do though, is stick to pure wax type polishes and avoid the buggery out of anything even mildy abrasive. The abrasive cuts into the clear and leaves really nasty swirl marks in it that you will never get out. Mind you, I have never actually polished mine and the water still beads every time it gets wet so I don't see much point.

      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 🍻
