Ive done a search and cant find anything.

I need to remove the front rotors to swap them over. The only way i can see to do this, is to remove the caliper, by removing 2 bolts at the back which should let it hinge??!?! I can't get these bolts undone to find out. Is this the correct way of doing it?!?!

Yep , you have to remove the 2 bolts that hold the caliper to the hub then carefully pull the caliper up. You may have to prise the pads apart a bit to get over the lip on the disc.

Thanks...I had the problem with the lips on the discs, you must of done this b4! :D For the life of me I couldn't get either of those bolts to budge, soaked it in wd40 for abit to no avail. I'll have to take it to midas or something to just swap the rotors.

I ended up just replacing the pads (really had no choice as the others are past dead) with the shit glazed rotors in there now. Not happy!

Anyway, Merry Xmas to all :)

This may sound really dumb but are you undoing the correct way?

As it is facing away from you the direction to turn the spanner is in a clockwise direction when seated at the wheel hub looking at the disc.A normal 12in breaker bar should be enough to loosen them .

      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 🍻
