Unfortunately I MAY have to pull out of this, suspected head gasket problems on my 26. I'm booked into Willall for a tune this Wednesday so I'll find out for sure then, fingers crossed it's nothing, if not, out comes the engine and rebuild time!

Going stroker build and all if this is the case?

Seems to be the month for it... what happened?

drove through a huge puddle of water like an idiot... should have slowed down but didn't think it was that deep.

went from 60 - 10km/h in 3 seconds... then engine stalled. ended up sucking in water through the pod, milky engine oil, blowing smoke.

head gasket is ok, coolant is fine, no bubbles and such, no discoloration. flushed engine 3 times, put new plugs in it, starts and runs fine but is blowing clear white/greyish smoke constantly. really hoping its just the condensation from all the water that went through it.

last flush oil came up nice and clean, gonna put my regular synthetic oil in tomorrow morning and take it for a spin, see if the smoke clears out and then compression test it.

:)

if all else fails... 25/30 kicks in to motion.

wasent that january? or was jan the month for spun bearings, sept the month for low compression?? =P

What actually happened when you spun your bearing? High RPM range? Oil starvation? I'm scared to death one day my oil pressure will just drop off and spin a bearing haha. Over reacting I know but still.

How long untill you think your going to be out and about on the road? Standard rebuild? Feel free to PM me if you don't want this on the public forum :).

And luke for the short term I hope its not rebuild time but a stroker will be awesome in the long term.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
