no matter the details of this, most will look at it how it is, its was at CRD for a bloody long time, they built it so good on them for that but they didnt deliver the final result, and in alot of peoples minds that is what counts!! call it how it is... the JEZ kicked ass with it, you'll have some wobbly knees in the next week when you drop the hammer pete, so jealous right now...

Well done Pete, great result!!!! Am looking forward to some vids :D

When I posted the pic of the 6Boost being installed I had an email from the old builder saying , oh you might notice the Turbo is a different model, I said yes it was noticed and he said that he told me about this when the build was being done, I said I think I would remember that, he said I might have been pissed, good call but that is something I would remember , well , I would think I would remember, hic hic

This does seem pretty weird I reckon. If they had already told you about the turbo, why bother writing you an email to "remind" you. Oh well, it's all done now, enjoy it for what it is :)

If most look a bit deeper the truth is quite obvious, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to worked it out 30 pages back. Nothing has changed in 15 years of forum garage battles. A shame really.

But what's important is Pete gets his car back and is happy with it.

I remember reading an article and an english guy built a RIPS RB30 in a R33 with a PPG Getrag 6Speed they detuned it to 700HP as the torque smashed the gearbox to peices after a launch down the strip.

Was on pump gas too.

So have fun hahahaha with that monster and that insane torque number. Think there are reasons AMG also electronically limit their torque numbers :P

You are right, they just bought the Turbo thing up AFTER I posted pics of the cracks in the manifold and 6boost, I was surprised to get an email from them,

Matters not, I have not stopped smiling since I got the Dynos and could see the car is running much better, even at my piss stops through the night I had a smile :yes:

Vids, what sort of vids can I do, Dyno tunes are boring , see if I can get some tyre action if my drive line and AD08Rs let me without leaving the box behind :bomb_ie:

Well , thanks, I think lol

I will see how it feels and go from there, it will be interesting to see how it feels to drive instead of looking at a Dyno graph, about 700rpm earlier full boost,so see if it gets it going.

The tractive effort/torque is 974Nm , peaking at 5250rpm

    • 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 🍻
