G'day. I have searched on this one and couldn't see anyone with anything remotely the same as my problem. There is a gremlin in my car, I will explain...

The car goes straight into 4th gear even when dead cold (the last stagea I drove stayed in 3rd for a few minutes, once warmed up then went into 4th - i assume this is the norm)

The O/D off button does nothing - stays in 4th all the time. The light comes up on the dash however.

Snow and Power buttons have no effect what so ever. The lights show they work.

The car drives beautiful and shifts as per normal, kicks back when given throttle, etc... But I'm definitely lacking the 'power' function, I believe this function should work if you give the car a hiding even with the power button not pushed in? O/D off would be most handy for going up hills, the car chops and changes gears like a bastard...

So I have checked all wiring, plugs and switch functions inside the car and under bonnet. Have traced all relevant wiring back, no damage or bad connections I can see. I haven't had a chance for a real good look underneath yet. I worked as an auto sparky for many years, I remember fixing a similar issue on an R31, it was a faulty speedo divider circuit in the back of the instrument cluster, I was able to diagnose it easily from wiring schematics...

Does anyone have any electrical schematics so I can work out how all this is supposed to work? Any other ideas?

Cheers

Paul.

Just checked the ATTESSA controller located in the LHS cargo area behind the trim, no error flashes on the LED... Anyone got pinouts for this controller? Only ones I can find are for what looks like earlier model skyline ATTESSA controllers that have 4 plugs, this one of mine has 1 big plug and a 10mm nut in the middle.

Had a good look under the car today, everything looks good and intact as far and the wiring harness goes...

It almost makes me think the car does not realise it is out of Park when it is in actual fact in Drive... Although the dash display of the transmission selector works.. I give up for now :wacko:

Still having no luck with this... I am wondering if there is a problem with the ECU, either faulty or possibly the wrong one (ie, ECU is from a R33 manual or something)... I'll have to check this after work.

Anyone got any ideas? This is driving me nuts!

      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 🍻
