Hey guys just wanted to get your thoughts on what i should be looking at next for my car in terms of modifications..

i already have the following..

- Full 3" sports exhaust

- HKS FMIC

- Tien D150 coil overs

- RDA slotted rotors front and rear

- DENSO 50mm Hi-Flow fuel pump

- New coils from a GTR S1 (there the same as gtst -.-)

- New ignitor

- HKS mushroom air filter

Thats about it i think. I want to focus on power and reliablity as the car is a daily driver that hits the track every now and then.

Im more looking into getting a new ECU.. unfortunantly there is no nistune for this model so id like to know if you guys have found any decently

priced ecu systems.. the car atm is running verry rich... not that i have had it checked you can smell it..

Any thoughts and ideas are welcome

P.S if anyone knows of any maitenance tips that are often forgotten could you fill me in just want my car to be as fresh and healthy as it can be thanks. =D

ebc>>>evc>>>depends on who makes it. Electronic Vacuum Controller.

Nothing wrong with the mushroom, its fine as long as you have the triple layer dry element. Best unit for your AFM, no oil to get sucked in and contaminate. And contrary to what people say, they don't leak, they have a good seal and a much better filter setup than the unifilter wet type which are single layer filters.

yes ive had my bad terms with wet filters took the car to three mechanics cost me around $1800 to fix. The car was stalling and getting flat spots. so they said was fuel pump changed that didnt fix the problem then we changed ignitor cas and coils still the same problem got the shits after the third mechanic so i called up irwin who workes for skyline spares in wetheral park nsw. he went in his shop came out with another afm said try that instant fix man told me never to use a wet filter the AFM is verry sensitive...

though evcer since i got the fuel pump done ive had trouble starting it well atleast i think it was after the fuel pump i didnt have the car for 3 weeks had all these mechanics tinkering with it... dont get me wrong she starts but its verry hard drives fine

    • 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 🍻
