I did a search, I found most people like run first 3000kms with no boost and limit rpm. but i told to a few tuner. they told me no matter how hard you drive it. only thing need careful is the engine oil, just don't use full syn oil in 1500kms. and a said if the engine builder is good enough the engine may only need a run in time on dyno.

I have no idea how to run in it prepely. some suggestion??

last owner done 2500kms after engine rebuild. I didn't know how did he drive, but i think he must done some hard driving on mountain. I also push very hard as well about 200kms. maybe change full syn oil after another 300kms?

but my gtr is run really good. good power, every thing is good.anyway I will get it on dyno next week check every thing.

if the engine push hard(not very hard, just normal drive,a few mountain and some 8000rpm gear change) in run in period will it get any damage??? or just take a bit long to finish run in?

2500km is around 1500km too much if you're doing the usual street driven run-in. the idea is to bed the rings in pretty much around the first 300km of driving.

what i do is not to do ANY highway driving, just do normal driving while accelerating from each set of lights going from a 30-40% higher than usual take-off speed then driving as per usual thereafter till you come to a stop again.

its also important that your AFR's arent rich during run-in as not to get bore wash which also causes your rings not to bed in properly.

personally i only do the full 1000km run-in because my mechanic says so - i dont want to give them any reason to void my warranty. any good tuner that actually gives a crap about your car can run your car in on the dyno. its always good to get a few k's (around 500km) of street driving just to sort things out before the final tune but 2500-3000km is over doing it. if the motor is going to fail because of wrong bearing clearances then it will fail well within the first 200km of driving, or on the dyno when its being run in.

      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 🍻
