i know what u are saying but for now im just looking to get it on the road as a everyday car so wont be going down that path for awhile.

but i have been doing a bit of reaserch and have found out that seris 1 stageas dont use tip-tronic so im going with that less hassle and i will be getting the stagea ece and auto computer

in the future the gearbox will be getting work done to it just not keen on doing any work to the rb20 auto would rather spend the cash on a rb25 one

just want it do drive good for now then get it registed and on the road.Then ill start the big mods lol!!!!

fix the box then and forget about modding the thing for now. as I said there is no point having a huge amount of power if you have no way to get it to the ground. forget screwing with the electronics - if the current setup works why FK with it. fix the mechanical side of it and then do the rest. you are creating more work for yourself and I'll tell you now that the electronics in these things is nothing to sneeze at for a 20 yr old car. even my old subie with a 98 GT drivleine under it was left alone. the electronics worked fine so I saw no reason to screw with it.

in short do it once and do it right. I'm assuming you are in your early 20s, when I was that age I did a similar thing with a V8 chev. I kept tossing money at it when I should have simply fixed it once and left it alone. 4 engines later I I realised and then built the combo I should have striaght up.

get my point?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
