Revs A Little High When Clutching In Before Slow Drop

Hey all,

Just got my car back from Unigroup after it was tuned. Noticed now that when its cold, if I drive in first then clutch in to go to second, the car will hold revs at nearly 1.5k before eventually dropping back down. It makes for uncomfortable driving and shifting between gears.

Now I understand when the car is cold that it runs in different modes hence the rpm being higher, but when the car is warm it sometimes presents the same issue. The car was pre tune tested for leaks and other issues, timing set etc. I suspect it might be something to do with the afm but at the same time, I have no idea. The AAC thing has been removed and cleaned about 2 years ago.

Idle is set to 750 - 850 rpm if I recall. ECU is a power FC.

Also have another annoying issue. When starting the car, the hand check engine light will flash and display a knock reading usually between 40 - 60 on startup. I have narrowed this issue down previously and it seems if I have the datalogit connected to my car OR if I have my narrowband feeding a signal to the ECU, it does this. Without either, the car will NOT flash and there is no ping on startup. I don't care about it but its annoying for someone with OCD with everything running right.

Any ideas guys?

I know with my tune and my PFC cold idle is really high as well. Makes it harder to drive but doesn't last long.

My tps was also out and would make the car idle high and hunt. Could be worth checking the tps sensor, very easy with the PFC hand controller.

Can't help with the check engine sorry!

I've checked all sensors and the voltage are in spec. I'll be taking the car back to Unigroup to have the tune finalized after my fuel system us up to scratch.

Do you happen to have the O2 sensor connected?

Sounds like your fuel cut recovery point might be on the high side causing it to do that.

Since you're taking it back to unigroup let them fix it, if not I'll give you a few pointers on what to do to try and fix your issue

      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 🍻
