I had this problem too, does it work intermittently by any chance? Or does not work at all?

If it doesnt work at all, it may simply be disconnected during compliance.

Slide it back towards you, lift it up, fish around for the cable and re-connect.

It tends to be dicky, the cable, so it will probably be about 80%

my car came with spoiler (sedan) with the brake light on that. I also had the brake light inside the rear windscreen which was disconnected. when i took off my spoiler i had to reconnect the plug for the inside one to work.

dunno if that info helps.

this week has been a rough week for me, ive got the similar story with the 3rd light as sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt and other times its not as bright.

while driving on a 60km rd on tuesday in morning still kinda dark a huge chunk of brick was left right in the middle of the rd by construction builders, lowered v35 going 60km/hr over it, broke something underneath and i need to get it repaired as its hanging loose on the bottom.

Ouch! I hope there wasn't too much damage...

On another note...can anyone enlighten me why in the world compliance would need to disconnect 3rd brake lights???? Isn't a 3rd brake light compulsory nowadays? I can understand d/c the xenons...but the 3rd brake light...wtf???

      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 🍻
