I am F*@ken spewin,

A few days a ago I was drivin home from work on Erindale Road (Hamersley) when some nob went thru a Give way Sign and fully F@#kd up the front end of my car!!!

The engine was undamaged (besides the radiator) although a whole new front end was needed so the quote to repair was $20,000 ($5k of this was for the airbags which both deployed!).

The Insurance Coy has written the car off although the salvage on it is a mere $8k. Considering the engine is totally fine and it is a Grade 4 SII - I was really surprised that it will be salvaged for so little...

When I find out what wrecking coy has bought it, I will post it on here as the car is immaculate inside & out and guys who are searching 4 parts may be interested.

Thanks also to the guy who stopped @ the accident scene in the Black 33 to see if I was OK...I am pretty sure he is on these forums and I have seen him on a Perth Performance Cruise...

spada let me know what insurance company it was with bro and I will find out which auction yard it is going to,

dont worry about the salvage amount its not all that important its the market that drives the price up

hmm unless it has already been auctioned and a wrecker has bought it already

mostly the salvage value comes from a salvage valuator

Hey that was me that stopped that night..... I remember as I heard the accident from my house ( I was leaving around the same time as the crash to go get fuel ). Looking at the accident I thought something like that must of happened.... I knew then it was going to be a write off looking at the damage.... As long as your ok, I guess thats the main thing. Still its very sad to see a car that you put soo much time and effort into destroyed before your eyes...

On a side note, I have been wondering .... Do you have a sister named Melissa???

Thanks for the concern guys...

b005t,

I am havin a look around now 4 a new car, as my settlement cheque is $28k I might look at adding a few extra $$ and gettin a 32 GTR.

NO_RSPECT,

Wrecker has already snapped it up, I will find out tomorrow who it is & let u know(Insurance Co was CGU)

GTS-4OrCeD,

The airbags are amazing, I was only travelling between 60-70ks and as soon as impact occurred they exploded with such pressure that there are all crack marks in the windscreen where the bags hit. The gas that inflates them nearly choked me...

MrGTST,

Thanks for stopping and seeing if I (& the car) was alright. The noise must have been pretty loud hey

Yeah my sister is Melissa, you went to Warwick SHS hey?

Nice lookin car u got there mate!

memphis,

Gearbox is good as gold. I always used Redline Oil in it...

Thanks for the compliment..... I am happy with the way the car is looking these days :)

I hope you find something as nice as what you were driving as I had seen that around a few times and it looked like it was in really good nick...

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.

      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" 😉

      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
