Yeah well was dropped off 2nd November and leading up to Xmas said was just snowed under with cars to fix etc, apparently was just a fuel pump to install and AFM at that time  but that was around Xmas when we spoke about it. Why would they want to push a car in and out the workshop daily when it just needs a fuel pump and start it ??

Been an awesome day, the tuner wasn't expecting me to drive it home so we went out for some very basic road tuning to make it drivable.  She's running very rich, so can't put much boost in or it stutters but the thing is very lively, was pulling well without even any boost, gonna be a weapon when tuned. I pulled into a servo to fuel up and some old Indian women in the car opposite, her look was priceless, haha, so disgusted with the sound of the RB haha.. 

Mod plate and some more fabrications like flexible joint in dump and blow off valve recirc next then a road tune followed by a few runs on dyno to further fine tune things.

Been trying to tuck the exhaust up higher, it was 2inch off ground , has to be 100mm at lowest point.  Shes now 75mm front and bout 90mm at middle muffler.  Cant physically go higher cause theres 10mm between middle muffler and the body.. will have to keep raising the coilovers ?.  Im expecting popo pulling me over so want it legal height and mod plated before driving again, i know a guy who can do it so thats next thing..

Isn't this thing a race car or something?

Why number plates and driving on the road etc?  Put it on the track.  No police.  Solved.

Cut and raise the floor, lift the exhaust.  Solved.

:)  in truth, looking ok.  Just give a few more updates, presume it's actually hit a dyno and you're moving onto the next problem areas to solve.

Finally hit the dyno, the 1000cc x spurts at 85% and walbro pump at its limits also so stopping here.  Didn't get chance to play with cam positions and was expecting boost on earlier but it's got plenty of grunt on the street frying the 275's in second.

Had a big win today, the exhaust although sounded great under boost was droning and too loud in traffic so I made a holmz heltz resonator chamber.  It's maybe working too good as its super quiet now,  who would of thought a big cannon could be quiet and  cost me nothing ?... my welding is super amateur but it works ...

When I get time I'll make a series of different lengths and fine tune it..

    • 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 🍻
