No point in spending big bucks to rebuild rb25 back to standard - don't waste your money... Either throw in a rb30 bottom end or just get a second hand motor and throw it in your car.

I would like to follow this and see what he does. Drifting you will need to rebuild that old RB30 in no time. If it's not already shot. Well one good leason I've learned if any is. The most expensive idea I ever got was a free one much less a free engine. The 30 could work, all in saying is you will never know the health of the components in that rb30 block. Please keep us posted mate. I would like to know what you did. Both options can work, just work with new parts in them that's all I'm saying. Me personally I would go back with rb25.

If the ringlands are gone then chances as the bore a scratched so it depends if the damage can be bore out or not, on the other hand if the cheap or free RB30 block just needs a hone and rings and bearing then RB30>RBless capacity any day of the week and twice on Sunday

And the RB30 is an easier fit in to a R33 GTS-t then any GTR and plenty of GTR owners ( me included ) haven't gone to the trouble of fitting them for no reason

I have a "drifter" and everytime I look at it and how it was treated and look at how much his previous owners poured into him and I think WHY!!! I'm hoping to bring "Bashful" back to his former glory!!! Love my car even tho secretly I think he wants to kill me

      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 🍻
