Put my thermostat in also.... Thanks for the help with getting those hoses on..

For reference we noticed that the I had in fact plumbed my trans cooler after the fluid went through the radiator trans cooler.

Also curious why you did it this way?

There was a discussion on this a while back and there were pros and cons either way, the main pro to placing it beforehand was the thermostat in the radiator getting the fluid up to temp if it was too cold... I guess if your trans cooler has a thermostat this isnt a consideration?

For my Stagea, I did my tax return today. Looks like Im going shopping! First up is intercooler methinks.

Did it in the most convenient location where the 2 lines run side by side to and from the trans cooler.

As we learn more about this car we realised that the standard set up has the output from the gear box going to the drivers side on the standard radiator. The Passenger side is the return lie to the transmission.

Yep, stock turbo and turbo back exhaust from AM performance.

I've been concentrating on handling and repairs first, before serious power upgrades.

Yeah likewise.

I'd really like to get away with retaining the stock turbo - I'd like it a bit quicker - nothing that I need to upgrade the turbo for. If my turbo does shit itself though, I'll feel like I'm getting jipped if I don't get it done properly. :rofl2: Here's hoping it lasts!

I got the trans go kit. Unless dad seriously cracks the shits, he will be fitting it with me doing the bitch jobs.

And Jase, I do plan to change the turbo eventually, but want to do all the supporting mods first. When it blows I don't see the point in replacing it with a stocker.

Got a bit carried away up there did you, Sebastian?cool.gif

Gave the Stagea a bath & sealed my rims; makes brake dust so much easier to get off.

Do Tell, what product, how does it work etc etc. Will work for Matte black paint?

Lol, monkey see; monkey do...

Auto Glym Alloy Wheel Seal; Aerosol spray. Spray on, Wipe off. I thought it was just a "Mr Sheen" type deal; but it stays on for bloody ages.

Don't know how it would go on a Satin finish, I don't believe it would do any lasting damage. You're welcome to have a lash with mine if you like.:thumbsup:

      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 🍻
