Hi all,

Having a little issue trying to find a small knock on my gtst.

It seems to be more prevalent when I am turning hard right and going over small bumps in the road.

It also does it goings straight.

I originally thought it was ball joints so they have been replaced but the noise is still there.

I have tried swaping my coilovers from left to right and it makes no difference, so I guess that rules them out.

Sway bar bushes look fine, ball joints brand new. no bushes look to be warn or sagging.

My next port of call is Sway Bar End links.

Let me know your thoughts.

Car: Ohlin Coils, stock everything else.

thanks

I had something similar after I put Cusco caster arms and some thick whiteline swaybars on.

The stock endlinks are a little weak and my whole swaybar had shifted a fraction over to one side, and as the suspension went up and down the caster arm was hitting the swaybar. The swaybars are the thickest non-adjustable ones that Whiteline make for the GTR, but they fit on my GTST.

I bought whiteline locking rings, but they didn't fit... in the end, I loosened the swaybar U-brackets a little, and crowbarred the swaybar back to the middle, tightened it all back up and now there is no more knocking.

Let us know if this helps!

even though you replaced the ball joints there is a stack of other bushes that could be worn and knocking and in my experience is the cause of knocking 95% of the time.

check on this diagram and you can see how many bushes may be the culprit...

      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 🍻
