Why would the vlt manual box affect the diff ratio

VLt manuals used a diff ratio of 3.45 which is alot easier for me to source the diff.

i could use the r33 box it would mean i would have to use a 4cyl commodore or pintara diff which is pretty pointless.

If you don't like em, wtf are you doing on this forum

what the hell you on about?.

the sig is just humour. :jk:

PS; Im building a rb30det so this forum will come in handy for me, that is if you don't mind me being here. :)

PSS: i'm here to share info not to bitch about what car is better.

shouldnt have to explain myself everytime........

The VLT diffs will fall apart around 200rwkw unless strengthened, whereas the R33 should be good for 300rwkw or so. The old Borg Warner is a bit of a dog of a diff. Have to remember VLT are live axel, and Skylines are IRS which makes it difficult to fit.

Depends what is easiest/cheapest for you.

I don't have the patience to fit a skyline irs rear end.

looks like the 28 spline borg warner centre will be the go with 3.45 gears.

      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 🍻
