Dropped the car off yesterday.

I was upstairs waiting for a lift to the station and unknown to me they had taken the car and put it on the Dyno and did a few runs , after a while I was taken down to watch and the car went to 8000rpm in 5th ???????

I could not even free rev it to 5500rpm and hold it there without it farting and blowing black, farked if I know ?

Anyway , cannot wait to have it sorted :)

Did they make changes to the tune so it would rev cleanly?

Anyway, as mentioned I would hope they drive it in the road to confirm the issue is gone.

Would be nice to see a dyno printout with the Afr shown.

Can't wait for it to be all sorted !

So why didn't you take them for a drive so they could asses the problem when driven normally?

You cannot drive it like that in a 60 zone.

They will have to do it , I am sure they have somewhere to take it for this type of thing, I am sure they do not want to give it back before it is OK?

Be interesting to find out where the water is going :/

I hate being suspicious but , 2 minds think alike, maybe tweaked before or a hose off/loose, then they got me to have a look , I have no idea??

But as long as they fix it I do not care :)

They only ever seem to run one type of Dyno readouts.

so it wouldn't be some kind of surge( fuel, oil) from accelerating so hard would it? cant remember what you did to it now...

That would of sounded angry... take any vids??

I never had the fuel under 1/3rd , they told me not to go below 1/4 until I get a surge tank if I am going to push t a little,

Had a 9Lt custom sump.

No Vids

He said he couldn't even free rev it above 5500.

Seriously dude. You should have taken them and shown them what the problem is.

But I still hope they find the issues

NO, I free revved it and sitting on 5500rpm it started farting.

They have to work it out, all they have to do is drive it , they will fix it, no problem :)

I just wonder if they tweaked it yesterday on the dyno, it never went over 7000rpm without sounding like you hit the limiter but it is set at 8500rpm

    • 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" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
