McRen,

If this is for fun then ok. If I just misunderstood your post and aggravated you then sorry lets start again.

What do you drive?

The black MR2 is supposed to be pretty quick but I've never seen it run. I know it's had a lot spent on it.

FWIW I go along with those who recommend Rodney Howell but I haven't personally used him. I know he's a good bloke with a good reputation. The MR2 looks pretty trick from what I've seen.

Specialist also have a good reputation but again I haven't used them. Boccino's have done good work on a previous car for me but I don't know how many Japanese cars they do, I think they're more European oriented (correct me if I'm wrong anyone).

I currently use the business I use because I've been friends with the owners for a while.

Tim.

Regarding the gearbox thing.

I have broken 2 or 3... or 4 gearboxes in the WRX. <8-(

Hopefully that's fixed now.

Nissan and Toyota seem to have managed to make decent strength boxes so I don't know why it's taken so long for Subaru.

Has anybody on this forum used the Apexi Power FC on a Skyline? If so do you have an English manual for one (R33 GTR would be nice)? I have one for an RX7 but I assume there may be some differences in the software that may be of interest.

Tim.

The mate with the skyline is a guy from motors his car is a red and silver skyline r30. he bought it from a guy at mole creek and the only problem is its an auto. Only mod is a podfilter. Their are now three skylines parked outside motors 2X R30 and 1X R31.

Cheers lavers

Thanks for the reply on the Apexi Manual. I have tried there but can't seem to get to a manual for the controller. It shouldn't be a problem, the RX7 one is a great help anyway. I'll have two Japanese people staying with me in a week so I'll ask them to translate for me. :-)

I should be getting the Apexi installed on the GTR in the next few days.

It was nice to meet you Wogboy. Nice car and a great result!

The intercooler setup is a credit to you. Makes me wish I wasn't so lazy.

Yeah, pretty pumped. Saw quite a few R33 GTST's while in Hobart , 3 white ones, 2 wine red ones and one black one. Did any of these belong to you guys? It was good to have a yarn to you Roaldin, I could spend all my time fidling with my R33 (though the Missus disapproves) Hope to catch up again someday.

Wogboy

Sorry guys, I have been very busy lately and therefore was not able to get on the fourms to moderate.

Mcren, this forum is meant for peaceful chat between people with a mutual interest: cars. I am not one to supress friendly rivalry or different opinions, but your intentions are clearly inflammatory. Keep it inoffensive thank you, so we can all enjoy the forum.

Nizmokid, look in your PM box, as I have sent you a message re your reply.

Have fun.

    • 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 🍻
