It was a real GTS-R a long, long time ago. The only thing GTS-R left on it is the paint colour and the interior.

It has the build plate and all the other select distinctive parts you wont find on GTS/GTS-X.

That fact the Japs changed the motor out in the 90's is beyond my help. I just changed from 25 to a 26 for legalities sake

So saying mine is less of a GTS-R than yours… its just... a little stupid dont you think?

We all know he took a pintara and welded 2 doors shut :)

I was waiting for the Pintara comment Rossco, you’re a bit slow!

The exhaust was looking good to. Its sad that there are cobwebs on the wheels and brakes. Be good to see it get back out there...though with the EPA i would had hoped you had gone back to RB20. Fancy an R31 GTSR with an RB26 :)

I'd have less of a chance to pass the EPA with the RB20.

If i want the setup/power i want, RB26 is the only way!

As for power wise, see what happens at this stage :)

Sorry Ash. Car envy brings out the bad in me. If i could find a neat and tidy R31 GTSR i would buy it over an R32/33/34 TR anyday. They are hell cool. If it happened to havea n almight RB26 in it then all the better.

Hmmmm colors.....

Definite nomination for photo of the year (even if it has been modified slightly).

Stop taking photos of other people's engines Ash and post your own! Without exterior shots, your photo is about as much proof of a semi-completed car as Bush had of Iraq having WOMD :)

      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 🍻
