I never once said I did that on public roads. That's just stupid and irresponsible.

Just how I read it :)

Getting the car tonight. Compression check, spot on. Rego check - PASS!

I put the stock rims on, and all was fine.

Number plate lights are out, and so is the wing light, but it was passed - just was told to fix those - as they are things I'd get booked for if drove it like that.

So now can somebody tell me how to fix/replace the lights for the wing...?

The wing lights are LED's yeah?

FMIC will pass fine - I had holes cut in mine for piping and it passed. Just make sure the piping is tidy and fits the hole snugly.

EDIT: Ok pending pass, i gotta fix numberplate lights and wing light.

It may just we wiring. I'll get somebody I know to take a look monday.

Simple enough fixes.

Took it to : Premier Automotive Repairs, 5 Winchcombe Lane, Mitchell - 62428450

Great guys there. They replaced one of my wheel studs that was stripped on my Pulsar also.

NP, I don't want to be thought of as a fool or irresponsible or get myself banned for something coming across wrong.

yeah I think so... might just be wiring, not at all sure.. Just gotta take a look and fiddle and see if can sort em out, asap. Least those fixes won't cost me a fortune.

Oh they did note "Advise: exhaust height at 100mm". Rear exhaust as it curves under the rear axle it sits at at 100mm, long as as I don't put to fat bastards in the back it's all good. Plus the suspension is stiff enough any way.

Hey, can you guys help me better understand the differences between S1, S2 and S1.5 cos this is a S1.5 and has elements of both together. I read the thread on the differences between S1 and S2, but still bit lost.

I think I read somewhere that s1.5 was just s1 with factory options that s2 came standard with, like ABS and airbags....I'll let someone clarify though

ah fair enough.

More or less, no difference. Coils are old enough that their original quality is negligible as they're probably about to fail anyway. CAS probably wouldn't make much difference if any. Turbo....well, same sorta deal as the coils - but if my series 1 turbo is anything to compare to, you won't have any worries running it at 11psi all day every day, which is just shy of hitting R&R anyway.

Thing is, this one has the S1 front grill, and lights, S2 rear lights etc, but S1 Grey bar with SKYLINE on the back.

Thats all I really knew for sure.

It has NO abs nor does it have either drivers or passengers airbags.

Not sure if actually is S2 engine or not (turbo, coils etc)..

I have one pending problem that discovered this arvo when collected the car back from the mechanics... They'd not hooked something back right and now it's misfiring.. So gotta take it back and make em fix it in the morning... Damn bastards. This is why I don't like going to mechanics.

We had a really good look and can't find anything, so gonna have to get em to strip it back to the plugs like did today for the compression check, and they better have it sorted for me. I'm so pissed off.

      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 🍻
