Hi Guys

Just bought some NGK iridium plugs for my series 1. The link to the guide for changing plugs in the Maintenance sticky does not work any longer. Can someone pls point me in the right direction for a step-by-step guide? i.e. what parts need to be removed to get to the plugs etc and anything to keep an eye out for? The attendant said these plugs are pre gapped and I dont need to worry about gapping them. Im running only about 5 PSI if that makes a difference.

Cheers

1. Remove the intake pipe that goes accross the top of your engine and all the vacuum lines that connect to it.

2. Remove the coilpack cover in between the rocker covers.

3. Unclip the coilpack loom from each coilpack and put it aside.

4. Remove the coilpacks either by uncwrewing each one seperately or by undoing the bolts holding the brackets underneath the coilpacks.

5. Use a spark plug remover on a ratchet to unscrew the plugs and repace with your new pre-gapped plugs. They will be hot if you have been driving.

6. Now work back up the steps and attach everything in the same way you removed it.

Hope that helps. Its really easy just dont be afraid to get in there and do it yourself :huh:

from experience, it's easier to unbolt the bracket holding the coilpacks in, but make sure not to overtighten it when putting it back on like I did, snapping the head off one of the bolts in the process :wub:

I also don't bother to take the entire coilpack harness off, there's plenty of room to work around it.

Hey i just noticed for step 4 im missing the male end of that plug? is that a serious problem? and what is that plug for?

STRESSING out!

I think that is actually a S2, since yours is a S1 you will have an ignitor (i think thats what its called) pack mounted there that the wires plug into.

      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 🍻
