hi guys

bit curious when i had my boost gauge fitted before i picked up the car (r33 GTST) i noticed that instead of running the vacuum hose up the pillar they decided to punch a nice hole through my firewall but what i was concerned about they have obviously used a drill but didn't know they destroyed something while making the hole. when i brought it up they said not to worry and it wont change anything, but surly it was there for a reason. its a small black box about 3cm by 5cm behind the right wheel arch in the engine bay, next to the steering collum. does it really mean bad things or not to worry?? and for the record "What is it"?

F**k that's dodgy. From memory the black box is for the standard boost gauge in the dash. Is that still working?

um itt doesnt go to the + side always in - but it moves

does it affect th performance in any way or does it just get a bad reading?

that's what the first mate said after the titanic hit the iceberg ^^^

Are the terminals intact? Nothing displaced?

I'd source another unit > ask them to pay for it incl instal (if they want to keep your business - which I'd be most averse to do).

BTW, this stuff always happens to people with your User Name :whoops:

      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 🍻
