Kym - I was quoted $300-400 from Quickfit in Morley to do intercooler plumbing. The difference in price was depending on whether the cooler was mounted or not... I'm pretty sure that was in mild steel.

RB20LagWagon - 2.5" or 3" for cooler piping really doesn't make much of a difference. It's been discussed in length before with a lot of tech figures and numbers to back it up. The only thing I can suggest is from turbo to cooler, use the diameter of the turbo outlet. From cooler to manifold, use the diameter of throttle body.

Two more things:

1) I have emailed the d2power guy in the attempt in negotiating a group discount but he has said that given the low price of the coolers/kits as they stand (which I admit is pretty good) he would need a lot of people in a group buy to offer any decent discount. So basically that's a no to group buy discounts.

2) I have got email responses from 5 people so far who have received intercoolers &/or kits from d2power and a few of them have mentioned that they are actually a Hybrid intercooler. All of them have said it has very good quality construction and some mentioned good pipe fitment for those who got a kit over just a cooler.

I bit the bullet today and purchased a intercooler and plumbing (red anodized aluminium) kit for the R33. I will pay for that this week sometime and hopefully receive it within a fortnight. If anyone wants to have a look at the kit once I have it, PM or email me.

Modyourcar.com.au has coolers for $550 (on special for another week though or $419) and you can get the mild steel plumbing done for about $400 with fitting at Quickfit Morley. Under $1K :P

Any "performance" or "tuning" shops will always charge you a premium for their services

Sorry I haven't replied until now - I couldn't find the thread again.

It arrived last Friday after getting posted from NSW on Monday arvo. For the price, it's of pretty good quailty but for some reason, they've painted in in a dull silver which makes it look like it's faded and bit dirty. From the emails I've got back from other people who've got an cooler from the same guy, a couple have said the paint come soff easy and polishes up well. The same guy actually sells a polished cooler but just not in the kit. I'll get some paint thinners and polish to it maybe this weekend and see how it goes. Oh and it's heavy (as they all are) - good representation of the thermal mass of air heat that can be transferred to it.

The plumbing is simply fantastic. Three single mandrel bent pieces, aluminium, 2.5" in diameter - good size and should keep a decent throttle response. The cheapest I've seen just the plumbing kit for a 600x300 cooler is $600.

I haven't got a digital camera but if anyone wants to have a look at it, PM me. I'm NOR, Yokine.

      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 🍻
