I'm really digging the radiator set up... hope it works well for you.

Most people can't appreciate the time and skill it takes to produce neat wiring solutions. Just make sure you are using the correct style of deutsch plug crimps for the pins and sockets.

It's comming along gear guns.

PS... I had my first proper day out sliding (Baskervill) last weekend.. was a blast! I can see how it becomes a destructive addiction.

That's beautiful... Your wiring is just outstanding, really makes me want to strip my car and do everything custom. Because having your indicators on a switch panel in a street car is completely necessary :P

Seriously though, I'm loving this build. I just tend to just sit on the side lines and applaud quietly.

got less then a week to finish this thing for Round 1 ADGP and its going to be an untested car/set up :( oh well see how it goes.

anyway heres todays efforts... im wrecked. ive spent all my time either at work or working on the car, sleep is rare.

mock up of fuse/relay panel.. then a power up to test all circuits.. passed with flying colours!

made up swirl/fill pot for the rad, this is the highest point in cooling system,

Nice work, I love it!

.... just one thing... you might need to re-orientate the ewp. the way you have it, there will be an air pocket trapped on the back of the impeller, causing it to cavitation and create more air bubbles.

today we had the rad back out cause we found a leak in one of the end tanks. put it all back in and then bled it up. we vacuum filled it and that worked mint. in total it took an hour to fill and bleed and took 20L of coolant. we ran the EWP constantly while it was full and kept adding water in the funnel until no more air bubbles came out. EWP works mint and no cavitation was heard at all. the EWP is mounted lower then the bleed point.

fuel system all done. hard lines from boot to fire wall with bulkhead fittings then braided line in engine bay to connect it all. clean. effective and out of harms way. nothing at all to get damaged on ripple strips etc.

just means the cabin is getting awfully full haha

the red things are buttons to scroll through the dash since there are 4 pages. you can also use them to change brightness of dash and various other simple functions.

the leb spec shift light can be set up to come up for any warning light. EG oil press, too hot etc.

got it running last night... after a massive fuel leak. turns out the tank had a hole in it. So swapped a tank out of a 33 4 door and bolted that in... no 5 min job but had to be done. then we put fuel back in it and started the steps to get it running. lots of setting up and calibrating of sensors etc. then it fired straight up and settled into a dead smooth idle.

warmed it up to 80 degrees using the pump on 30% flow, then we turned the fan on 100% and it dropped down to 55 degrees lol.

    • 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 🍻
