Feelin the love in here.

Bought some new nuts (since my missus keeps my current set in her hand bag) to match my soon to be teal brake calipers.

Nice man, my missus is f*cking crazy for teal coloured stuff.

Nice nuts Mat.

Sean, we give to strife because we can.

I get the car on ramps, take off cover, move tray under sump, remove plug, try to catch plug, remove filter and go have a smoke. That usually does it. :)

That's what i did for the oil, but when i went to do the filter i didn't have enough energy to take the sump cover off and get the clamps around the oil filter because it's very tight then i couldn't find the friggin things then i just gave up and wanted to go to sleep.

Installed my whiteline swaybars + bushings, hardrace camber arms & BC Coilovers. Put on new wheels. Volk Ray GTCs 20x10.5 + 18 front + rear. I'm thinking it needs to be slightly lower with a lit

That's not too bad since it would be much much easier to get the sump cover off. The stock one is such a bitch. You'd think it'd be noisy though wouldn't you? with rocks and shit flying up and hitting it.

On dirt roads maybe - i don't think you'd notice to be honest. mount it with rubber grommets in between to insulate it from the k-frame and you shouldn't get any vibrations or anything.

Sorry they don't make them for boats.

Couple of things:

1- Your car is the same only with less doors, so how many knots does yours so and do you have it tied up at the jetty or marina?

2- ill happily meet you in the bends then say that.

3- the underbody protection plates rareJDM make one that fits sedan and coupe.

I replaced my engine oil last night, so difficult when my car is low as f*ck had to drive the car up on bits of wood to fit the jack in..

Still need to change the filter, i didn't end up finishing the change until about 7:30 last night and i was tired as f*ck so i thought i'd do it next oil change.

Is it normal for my car to use 1L of engine oil in about 7,000km?

Low is when you carry timber in your boot to get into places, cant fit a broom stick under the exhaust box or spark on a daily occurance.

there are a few manufacturers. Zspeed also makes them.

Haven't done any research but I have read about one of the versions actually hanging lower than the plastic OEM tray - so that's something i'd be wary of. I'd be keen on one though. I hate taking those trays off - on my mazda the bolts rusted on and I had to literally bend it out of the way, to get the oil filter out - which was a cartridge style meaning i was guaranteed to get oil everywhere.

Trays are a piece of piss. Off in 1 minute.

How?

Get your electric drill, and a bit set with a 10mm socket. Put it in your cordless drill, and remove all the bolts. Job done.

Hey you can get jiggy in the back of mine too, if you're 4 foot tall and feel like breaking your back

      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 🍻
