Hey guys, every since i bought my 33. I always thought it was a normal thing that the left and right signal has to be turned off manually as it was an old car. Steering didnt feel so responsive (yet again thought it was normal)... but somethign weird happened today, went to a friends place and left the car out in the hot sun for a few hours. All of a sudden, when i started driving the car... the steering started vibrating (very abnormal for my car) a little everytime i move it... it felt better i guess... a little stiffer. The signal also turned itself off when i turned a corner (this is not normal for my vehicle)... had the car for almost a year now and i found this really odd that it suddenly "fixed itself". Happy about the "miricle" i guess, but if it were to somehow "break" again... would it be a simple fix?.. How would i go about doing so? (maybe a clean? replacement? repair?)

a better description of the vibration would help. does it happen at certain speeds, does it feel alignment related or pump related? when was the last time you checked your p/steering fluids and hoses?

as for the indicators, they should turn off themselves. would be a simple clean, replacement if it starts to happen again. just take the surroundings off and have a look how it works.

The vibration is something constant that happens at 0kph and 100kph, it only happens when i move the steering wheel in any way. If i constantly move the steering wheel, i will constantly feel the vibration. (very mild vibration) It shouldnt be the alignment, got alignment done rescently and well it the steering is still all good. Havent checked my p/steering fluids and hoses but have no idea how to do so w/o sending to mechanic. Shoudlnt be a concern should it?

does it make any noise while you turn?

pop your bonnet up, theres a reservoir bottle on the passengers side next to the suspension strut. unscrew the lid and you will see a level indiator stick thats undernieth the lid. put it on and take it off again to see your level. check your hose that connects to it to see if its leaking, its quite common.

see how you go with this.

      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 🍻
