But you can only have one or the other, the emanage communication or the sensor adapter I am fairly sure.

Just remember the Greddy sensors aren't cheap but they are accurate. I guess it's similar to buying a Defi set, just more compact.

So can the Informeter display boost via connecting to the Emanage?

if it can I'll get the Informeter...

I guess so, do you have the map sensor on the emu? I haven't used the communication cable for the informeter as it was connected to the Vmanage, perhaps that is why, not the external sensor harness.

Yeah I've got the MAP sensor running to the EMU...don't tell me because I'm using the MAP sensor I can't connect the informeter to the EMU...garrrrh...

Hang on - the Greddy boost sensor for the Informeter looks identical to the MAP sensor I'm using for EMU...

yay?

ironpaw.... the picture in the first link shows the ignition barrel on the left - when it should be on the right.... so im assuming the picture is upside down, making the gauges mount from underneath?

Have another look at the steering wheel surround on your car, the ignition barrel location is part of the instrument cluster surround. The only cut-outs on the column cover are for headlight and wiper stalks.

Which gauge did you get?

Don't tell me those fake Defi ones on ebay/forums for $60? hehe

Not a fake Defi, no.

It's called an Evo something or other... It's digital with a line of bars that go along the surround instead of a needle and digital numbers in the centre which make it pretty easy to read with a split second glance.

A bit flashy, but the price was right & I thought if give it a go.

hmm, looking at this pic:

It seems like its just the top part of the steering wheel surround?

Take a look at the 2nd pic below...see what I mean? Its just a replace panel really. Doesn't involve the dash or igni barrel at all.

Only issue is that its black...hmmm

haha...well if I can score a whole dash in black then I'll go black...

I don't want a beige dash with a single black panel...

or you can just paint it in a colour as close as possible to it.

Sounds like a proposition?

you want in dont you

That is the point I was trying to get across, solution could be as Aaron said paint it as close as you can or replace all trim around the binnacle to black to match.

Personally I would be looking at the painting solution as I don't think you want to replace the wheel as well.

I had found that gauge holder a while ago but at that time had no reason for the extra gauges, hence I did not purchase.

Ha, Greddy got back to me regarding getting the MAP reading/Values from the emanage:

"If you have electrical craftsmanship it can be done but for our liability purpose, you will need to run independent sensors to each unit."

Hmmmmm is it as simple as splicing the informeter harness into the existing MAP sensor? interesting..

No, the input resistance of the unit will affect the value seen making it inaccurate. Just buy the new sensor if you want an accurate gauge.

They are probably talking about making a circuit to feed a mirror signal.

      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?”
