Yeah I seen his build years back what he is selling it for is pretty cheap for what he wants.

Budget would be what ever the parts costs can build engine tune it on the dyno weld up a cage and do all the work

The problem is anything quick in Time Attack wont be legal to run in IPRA or Prod Sports or Targa tas etc

anything turbo in IPRA costs Squillions to even make the top 10 of a state round.

If you ask me I can't justify spending $200k on a car that will be used once a year and needs the likes of John Boston/Tarzan Yamada to be driven quick.

But if thats what you want then an EVO is the only real choice for time attack stuff (you don't want to know how much has been spent on the Cusco WRX)

The more I look into it following the trend with an evo seems to be the only option to tick all boxes.

Even if you didn't race the car in ipra the car would be built for it.

Did some research on increasing a 4g63 capacity and found some nice info on bringing them out to 2.6 with a BC kit and a 4g64 block.

Evo 5 are pretty cheap these days as well.

Yeah it's a bit disappointing the cusco wrx and it's numbers.

Will have to upgrade the dyno to awd tho with an evo

What about an S-Chassis with AWD. Say S14 with GTR running gear!

Didn't FullRace build one in the USA for time attack? Interesting to hear how it went against EVO's and the like.

Just as heavy as a GTR

Then go full house S-Chassis with SR23VET simliar to Scorch S15.

I still think it didn't go close to it's potential at this years event. Plenty more to come and was fastest Nissan there.

Added piccy cause everyone loves looking at hot nissan racecars!!!

If you want to be competitive in Superlap, you need to get this idea completely out of your head, unless you're thinking of Clubsprint class.

Hard to take you seriously if you think that's a good idea, if you want AWD it makes sense in every way to stay with a factory AWD.

Well the rules say, "must retain standard shock tower", says nothing about using them.

Seriously, I'm curious as to what the prize money for winning Superlap/WTAC is outright?

Would it be more than winning an Aust. Champ Sports Sedan Championship? Do they have prize money?

Do sports sedans even have prize money State or National level?

Maybe it's for no money, and just for the glory....

I'm also starting to lean to an S chassis as well considering how well they went as well.

The main thing would be to try get it nice and low in its curb weight and enough power.

Would like to run a vh45 in it been in the process of building a sc kit with a m122 would give nice low down drive out and if what people are saying they weigh they are about 150 pounds lighter then an RB if the weights are correct

      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 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
