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..

Thats awesome! Welds on an exhaust are just to hold it together and not leak, don't need to look good!

GReat to see a truly budget exhaust and not drone!

Not much update, but shes still alive..

Just doing maintainence and driving it when i can, theres plenty of tweaks needing done such as cam gear adjustments, boost controller doesnt work properly and cold start is rough.

But all things considered its impressive the pull on 1bar from 3000rpm..

Will eventually get a go pro to demonstrate some pulls and drag times..

Im enjoying driving the car but cant help but wonder if i can improve the response. I recorded a few pulls, i want to have it responsive as possible so maybe i need a diff change as well as cam timing play on dyno and boost controller working to get the most out of the setup.. This short clip was a 3rd gear pull from 2000rpm and it just doesnt get stuck in till 4000rpm..tge vid doesnt show but its pulling hard at 3600rpm..

Im thinking a 3.7 ratio may help...hmm

Decided to do some heat management, the tial gate has changed from black into purple.. 

Also got some bungs put in the dump so i can later get a wideband and exhaust temp guage hooked up... 

I noticed there was  no duty cycle dialled in for low end spool so i set it to 100% uptil 3k rpm and its alot better but there no traction from 3.5krpm,  its badly needing a diff and setup to lay it down...

Car developed a rattle noise on cold start, so ordered a brand new VCT gear and solnoid.  Fitted them up after fitting the ring to make the VCT adjustable again.  Fired her up and noise has gone.

car goes harder now?

Will find out soon, waiting on a new battery as sitting so long has stuffed the battery..

Chasing an issue where it fires on 5 cylinders, what would cause cylinder 3 to not fire? Ive changed plugs, new coil and now coilpack harness.

Injectors? 

Had a problem with a 33 had intermittent firing issues on cyl 3 but was something broken in the head. Would be ok sometimes then die sometimes.

Battery finally arrived, decided to splash out and get something decent.  Shes a D34 yellow top, 750cca should be enough grunt.  The battery tray i think will need widened but will be fine.

Also got some more Mobil and zddp additive, even 0-40w and she doesnt use any oil ?

Could be but there new injectors, before the VCT replacement it would randomly not fire cyl 3 on cold start but after 5mins fire all 6. 

Once batteries in ill check the coil is sparking and maybe take the injector out.

Just unplug the coil and if it doesnt change unplug the injector

Got the shits with this 5cylinder start ups so now shes at the tuners.

But now apparently it wont start at all, bloody cars.. the day before i checked the injectors, coils all fired, plugs mint, did a comp test, motor cold.

Cyl 1-6: 165,170,175,175,168,170

So happy with that considering the tomei cams drop about 25psi off.

So hoping its a cheap fix but im thinking ecu maybe giving up, if so im gonna get a haltech elite 2000 or 2500 ?

Had a few good squirts on the way, ripping 2nd never gets old..

Its been a while, i got the shits and left it parked in the shed.

Recently i pulled the injectors out and had them cleaned.  I was told that it took 80psi just to get them to open, was almost a throw away deal.  Probably cause i left it parked for months, when i dismantled the fuel system i could feel the stickiness of parts.

So i replaced reg, fuel lines, filter and injectors cleaned and she starts on all 6 now with very little cranking.

Probably need a retune now, doesnt smell of fuel and very little knock on the power fc so must be close.

I missed the sound of it coming on boost, is like a jet aircraft, plenty of fun ????

Had it at the tuners for a check up and turns out there is dramatic difference in the fuel pressure between the new reg and the stock reg so shes been running lean.  On the dyno she sprung a big coolant leak at the back of the head so on the tow truck home...

Now i have to pull the motor half out to fix what i think is a welch plug backing out.

That sinco mani and 3076 though.... ????

    • 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 🍻
