Hey SAU! Been on here for awhile now. My name is Aubrey and I live in little ol New Zealand always wanted a Skyline,but after my pulsar got stolen and was recovered but it was a write off. Soo needed a car urgently, and my mate was thinking about selling his car, and i knew the previous owner before he owned it so i know its past history and done pretty low kms. only 144kms on the clock/engine. But finally got myself a RB :w00t: Currently Rb20e auto, but will be staying like that for awhile because i'm a poor uni student frown.gif buts mods will start coming soon! Well picture time smile.gif


How I got it, bought it with standard wheels, but my mate didn't have time to take it off, so I took it off later on. It is lowered on JIC s13 coil overs

This is what it looks like at the moment on steelies with hubcaps on because didn't want to make it too cop bait because here in NZ you need a certification for any aftermarket mods you do suck has adjustable suspension engine swap etc. gave it a cut and polish. Looking shiny smile.gif

Don't worry about the bungee cords. This is just temporary till i find another way how to stop my sub box from moving around.

this is pretty much how it looks like now and where i am at the moment. trying to suss out a deal with a seller for a set if wheels and hopefully get them this weekend. Will keep you guys updated.

Its not everybody's cup of tea, but thought I will try a different approach to the typical Cefiro you see in NZ roads. Now just need to buy some tyres !

      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 🍻
