Ok its not a Virus but it is plauging a lot of owners here in Aus and yes I know it should be in the Maintanace post but so far no one has been able to come to any conclusion why its happening and it has been happening for a couple of years. Any way here we go. There have been numerous posts of people having the type of cold start problem where there car starts fine in cold start mode then all of a sudden retards the motor until it reaches a set temprature and then is fine, they all state that they have changed all there main sensors ie/: ecu temp, o2, also checked and swapped AFM. so my plea is that someone in Japan knows a Mechanic that can say yep know that problem, it is --------- any way any help would be a god send .

Ok probably not explaining to well. OK hop in car start it, runs fine let oil pump up, drive off still fine a minute into driving car retards (like putting you foot slighly on the break) coughs splutters a little start to run fine in this retarded state this all happens while cruising, no power here just soft gentle 2500rpm cruising. I have had an RB30 it never ever done this, ran beautiful/same cold and hot. the magic of EFI. I wont go into it here all I am asking if someone could talk to someone in Japan who may have come across this or have the knowlege on these engines.

I have that same problem.

it feels similar to a hesitation....the reason for it is the SMART omputer in the skyline which detects lean rich mixtures. You have to wait until the vehicle is almost at running temperature before the O2 sensor can send correct data to the computer ie. the O2 sensor has to effectively warm up in a way.

the reason your RB30 didn't do this is because it ran a slightly different computer.

There are two sollutions:

you could stand there with a lighter and heat it up.....ahaha

or you could just let the car warm up before you take off...now that would be a good idea.

      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 🍻
