What an arvo! Thought I'd go get the tyres flipped due to severe inner wear due to the last Clayton place setting the wheel alignment to 8deg toe ? so I went back to the usual tyre shop and they put 2 big splits in the side wall of the tyre while doing it and then tried to say it wasn't them even though they just said it's that bad you can't drive on it as the sidewall was balloning out, then how the hell did I get there on them, then they said they looked fine when they first pulled the wheel from the car, go figure. So after some talks they said they will pay for the new replacement.

Then I get home and check the rims and they have put small scratches and a gouge in all rims ?

For such a simple job I've yet to come across a tyre shop that can do anything without f#cking it up.

The machine clamps on the inside of the rim to get the tyre on or off. Guess they weren't careful.

Sorry to hear, a least you have come to some sort of arrangement.

Yeah just lack of attention and care. Gonna have a go at them tomorrow about damaging the rim lips, can't see anything happening about it though.

Is that jealousy I smell in your post Alex? I think so. Mmmmm red V35 fronted Stagea...

The black Stagea is full Dolphin PM35 body parts (grill, eye lids, front lip, skirts, rear bar and spoiler). Looks surprisingly good (???!!)

Have started wondering what a Y50 Fuga front end on a Stagea would look like....

That wing is ridiculous though. Not sure if it's the adjustable version, but epically OTT.

Y50 Fuga front end might be ok, if it'll fit. But no one around here would put a different face on their M35, would they? :whistling:

Jealousy of what...?

You like it do you? Its all yours!

I like the black one. Needs a good clean but.

No thanks, that red one burns the back of my eye balls and sears the darkest recesses of my brain

Only those with an NM35 need consider a facelift.

Oh, and it is highly recommended :)

Why? They're 2 very different cars. Ask your mate how quickly & comfortably he can cart a family away camping for a weekend. He'd be embarrassed 'cause he'd have to drive his mums' camry wagon, lol.

Still, I bet it was a nice experience riding in (driving?) a 10 sec GTR. I admit I've never been in a car that quick.

Why embarrassed?

I stopped comparing my car to gtrs or s15s. There is no point. You have to start of thinking you have a wagon!

I can do say, 80% of what a gtr can do. But I can still carry a couch in the back when I want to, and I don't get stalked by cops everyday. That's a win, to me.

yeah yeah I know I know its a different car...

I guess embarresed might be the wrong term. More "disappointed when I stomp on the accelerator and I don't get pinned to me seat"....LOL

I can help with your addiction... :)

I would prescribe another 100kw to put that smile back on your face, but power costs money and lots of it. (as i'm sure your gtr mate has found out.) And you cant control what you have now... Back driving yet? :P

So Scotty, when are you joining the 400kW club?

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.

      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
