cars in the workshop atm. Just called them about GFB bleed they dont carry them. He said that most peeps happy with the turbosmart said its the new model. He also said that most bleed valves spike under heavy load anyways.

Oh well time will tell. Oh and when u guys say spiking Im guessing u mean something like when u give it a good amount of throttle at high revs/under load that the turbo tends to stutter sort of like a blocked carb or something? Forgive my newbness but not sure exactly what that means...

Ok just drove it for the first time. Yep boost comes quicker and harder @ 11psi. Gave it a bit nowhere near redline (not game yet) and can definately notice more power guess with the twin dump full 3inch and 11 psi Id be around the 160 rwkw mark now.

But man is it loud. Anybody got any ideas on what sort of sound proofing i can put in my boot. The compliancers wont give me my spare so its empty and probably making it more noisy! Thinking some kind of foam needs to be light and block noise really well...

I would have thought a car which was complianced and no spare wheel in the boot unroadworthy.... I would go down and force them to give it to you..

Yes not happy about that but they told me those were the rules and yes they gave me a roadworthy to take to QLD Transport without spare...

Oh by the way anybody got any ideas on soundproofing for my boot. I think im getting fair amount of resonance from the exhuast tip through the boot. Thinking of going to clark rubber and getting some foam to put in behind the back seat to dampen the droning.

      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 🍻
