Hi guys

I just thawt that i would mention i got my new R33 today so if you see a red GTS crunching gears and doing 360`s in the middle of the road please give way cos i am new to it.

BTW its my first manual car and im told that the 18 pounds boost is pretty savage.

I hope to see you all around on cruzes and such and please c`mon over and say hi :)

Hi Lee .... welcome to the warm fuzzy world of SASA.

Even though I don't won a Skyline myself :) .... I nearly did though - does that count?

I only have a crappy little S15 ;) .... check it out at My Site

Got any pics of your ride?

btw be very careful at that sort of boost if you've never driven a manual before .... best of luck and look forward to meeting you at the next cruise.

Welcome SPOOLIN (Lee) Nice choice of car, & colour too!

I'd be a little cautious about running 18psi boost unless the engine/turbo/intercooler etc have been set-up to allow this!

If your car has already been modified to cope with 18psi then ignore the above warning & smile ;) 'cause you've scored a good one mate :uh-huh:

Nightcrawler,

Saw you & your beast on Fri'/Sat' night (can't remember which?) @ the lights on Grand Junction & Sudholz, we were in the family mobile (green 5dr RAV4) turning right from S into GJ. Can't miss those plates of yours mate :)

Lee,

I am new to the world of skylines and manuals as well.

I bought an R32 GTS-4 about 6 weeks ago.

It won't take to long to pick it up, just take your time to start with and don't rush your gear changes.

Hope to see you out cruisin.

Woohoo..........:)

Ive just come back from a few hotlaps (well slow laps actually) around the block and the beast is still in one piece *yay*

Hmmm......enigine mods....Well i dont really want to give too much away at the moment until ive seen the car make the power myself. Oh and if i say too much no one is gonna line me up at the lights:( but i will say that the (OS Giken triple plate clutch) is a bi*ch for slow speed takeoffs.

As for the dyno day i will do my best to get there but it will depend on how my driving is coming along :)

You'll probably find there will be others on the forum with the same gizmos fitted to their Skylines. All you need to do is find someone with the same bit of gear & ask away :) Assuming they know how it works!

      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" 😉

      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 🍻
