ok, so i kno this has probably been covered before, but stuffed if i can find it! so i was driving thru a causeway the other day after all the heavy rain we have just had, there was about 10cm of water over the road and just after i got thru it, my car sorta died. i backed off and it came good again, but as soon as i put my foot down, the same thing happened. it seems fine when i just put the power on lightly, but under heavy acceleration it nearly throws me thru the windscreen. im thinkin maybe sum water got sucked up into the AFM, coz i have literally disconnected every plug to check if they were wet, but all good. sorry bout the long rant, but its really starting to annoy me and i want it sorted! if anyone has any ideas as to what has happened i would be really grateful for sum help

It kinda does sound like AFM damage, but i would have thought you'd need more than 10cm of water for it to get through the air filter.

Highly unlikely its a wet plug too . I hose my engine bay off all the time with no drama lol :)

its possible if everything not in good condition or plugged in properly. for example if a certain part of my main engine loom gets wet the car misses horribly until it dries up.....

as said check afm and make sure everythings dry

      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 🍻
