Hello everyone.

I just bought my car few months ago

Its R31 RB30 N/A GXE auto 1990 . and soon will convert to manual.

I fixed few things myself:

Change the engine oil and filter.

Fuel filter.

Air filter.

Brake pads.

Fan clutch.

Radiator flush

Horn.

Install water temperature gauge.

.

Bushes (mechanic) as its done for roadworthy. And tires as well.

.

ANYWAY , I have an advance extractor comes with the for $50 extra, it's almost new, I take off the shield and find out the studs missing 2 the left side and 2 the right side. I guess the already broken, anyway I tried to take off the rest but first one brakes straight away, so I stopped. I took to mechanic and quoted "$500 with new stars end nuts"!! I said to him I have it with me then he said "$400"!!!!

Is that a normal price or he trying to fool me or something?

Cheers guys

Depends on on how many studs are broken, if all 12 need doing then $400 sounds about right, but it is usually only the outer ones that break, just get another quote. A set of studs, nuts and washers/ yokes cost about $100 alone. Doing it yourself require a fair bit of mechanical ability and some specialist tools, most mechanics outsource this work to a specialist thread doctor.

Well, thanx for your replay.
Yeah probably the others will breaks as well, I guess I will go and get another quote to make sure that's a good price.

Anyway much appreciated

gees for that amount of money would be cheaper to get a new head. I bought a head off gumtree recently that had been machined and with new seals and everything for like $250.  The head gaskets are cheap too.

 

Would be a lot easier to tape up the ports and drill/ezy-out the studs while it's sitting on the floor.

That's a good deal! 

I wish if I have much time to take the engine down but I can't it's my daily ride and work. 

Probably I will keep on eye on gumtree etc. 

Thanx mate

      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 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
