hey guys havin a bit of a problem with the V..

basically my battery has stopped charging at the moment. i believe its the alternator or voltage regulater. the weird thing is though that the battery indicater on the instrument panel comes on when i do start the car which is what led me to believe it was the alternator but it goes off after about a minute of driving. however the battery does eventually die on me. anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? also anywhere worth bringing the car to to get it checked & repaired?

cheers guys

is it new battery, or is it the original one that comes with the car from Japan?

sitting in the auction yard and in the dock over a few months could easily killed the battery.

but best to find out what verdict it is, is to bring it to battery shop and have them tested whether your system is charging, and if the battery is healty.

def not the battery.. it is the old one but ive charged it at home on the powerpoint it it receives a full charge everytime.. + already tested the battt with voltmeter while the car was running and confirmed its receiving no charge.. + the car actually died on me whilst driving beacuse the battery had insufficient juice to keep going.. fortunately it was late and no may cars around.. but i basically rolled to a stop

that's your alternator is gone then.

As it sort off happen to me before, but the battery light stays one not like yours gone off after driving. Then after the battery juice ran out my car just couldn't keep moving.

      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 🍻
