I have a super crap quality video showing traction issues from a rolling start, the RSR's are hot and sticky here but still it only grips up in 3rd as i shifted early which lost a bit of momentum, LOVING the 7700rpm shift light (Uses the engine light) its still a lot of laughs -

Of course this was performed on a private driver training centre!

Yep. Yours is faster than mine :glare:

Lol when it wants to actually go without breaking something! Wait till the next update with "Broken" bits....

whats the go with the wipers cutting in during third gear, i cant see you hitting the 'stick'? lol :P

Yeah they were on intermittant as i had water on the windscreen from washing it, i was not paying much attention to the wiper operation at that stage :P

While cruising the Haltech dropped the car into a "safe" mode but i was on Pennant Hills Rd and it took a while to get a place to stop safely, the temps were looking OK on the factory gauges but obviously the Haltech was getting a more accurate reading and wanting the car to shut down..... After shutting the car down I could smell coolant and then the stress cracks in the radiator decided they had enough -

So at this time we had to let the car cool off too dead cold before attempting to repair etc to get home, a tube of trusty super glue and the cap on its first click did it but my nice black engine bay looks incredibly crap now!!! Will get in and detail once the cooling system repairs take place...

So first things first, i need better gauges to get an idea on what the temps are really doing, after a bit of research and reading some independant tests it shows the cheapie stepper motor gauges are doing everything the big names can so i opted for the Race Tech Race Series (Fancy name for Defi copy that you can adjust stuff on lol) -

I chose Water Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure as they seemed like the ones i need to be keeping an eye on! The new Greddy Boost controller reads boost which i dont wanna see anyway as if it spikes the Haltech is all over it!

I also chose the blue LED to keep the dash with the Blue with Red needles, the Greddy Boost controller now also fits the look!

This is an old pic but you get the idea.....

I did some research on radiators as i was going to purchase just an Ebay spec and then figured it was probably just asking for trouble after hearing stories of them buckling and leaking etc..... So after narrowing the choice down to 3 brands/types i went with the Racepace triple pass radiator which seems to get a pretty good review from the guys currently using them, Chris from Racepace was super helpful and the purchase was made -

And YES for those wondering it will be getting MOAR black when i get the time lol

To get a sender to fit i needed to purchase a Speedflow adapter -

My stock radiator packed up last week too! :angry: was lucky that it didnt overheat , i just noticed it all pissing out from underneath when i got home, the stock one is really thin and looking at it i dont know how it lasted so long..

anyway, i ended up getting a cheapy from autobarn but looks the same as the one you've pictured, says MSpec on the top, i guess it was just a matter of time hey....

that whistle is awesome in the vid :whistling: more vids needed :worship:

They look similar on the outside but this is a triple pass radiator, i found cheaper Koyo rads etc but after talking to a few people it seemed the N flo was a good design as it keeps the water in the radiator longer etc....

The whistle is awesome, its one of the reasons i havent swapped the bigger turbo onto the car as i do love it!

I should be ready to bolt it back together BUT i just need a confirmed answer with that sensor, as you can see in the second pic the sensor bottoms out on the adapter and i need to know what to use to seal it etc.... As soon as i know the answer to that i can get it all back together :)

So that's why you didn't come to the track day!!!

Next month I think they are having another one ;)

Thinking of changing my rad setup too, PM price of the race pace one when you get a chance

U got PM :thumbsup:

I'll be out there soon enough mate!!

How much did those guages set you back man?

You can get the cheap off Ebay, i wanted them quick so i ordered them through an Aussie supplier for overnight delivery for $250...... You can get the non adjustable ones cheaper again.......

    • 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 🍻
