Hi all,

Thought it's about time to make a post since I've been lurking these forums for about 8 months now.

Managed to get a hold of a 260RS

Here it is immediately after purchase:

And here it is after vicroads abused* my wallet today:

Current notable modifications are:

Coilovers (still need to crank them down)

S2 centre console

And the next thing on the stag-menu is a turbo-back exhaust!

Since im new, treat me gentle ;)

Lol, welcome...sort of belatedly. Love the P-plates, one of the few cars fitted with an RB26 that won't draw cops...

Yeah I went through a booze bus 3 days ago and they didnt even blink :)

However full license as of next month anyway

Ive been driving it for about a month now and the only issue I have is a clunk in the rear when changing gears rapidly. It came with a catback exhaust from Japan and Ive been told that it is most likely hitting the rear diff as there isnt much clearance above it at all.

be careful with that, i got pulled up last week and the police officer told me they are pulling over stags alot more now becuase they have cuaght out a heap of "p platers" driving them illegally thinking police dont know they are turbod, i would be putting it in your garage for a month and not run the risk of losing your license or your car.... booze buses wont check, they are there for a reason, drink drivers, not defects.

Full license is as of 03/09, and I have my own business registered under an ABN, so thats how ive been driving it so far without risk.

Not sure if this is the biggest coincidence or what but same with me!

Full licence next Monday. woohooo!

btw, ride looks neat as.

      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 🍻
