Haven't posted in ages, done a few things to my C35 since January...

The shift solenoids (the two gray and black cylinders in the bottom left of the pic) of the automatic trans went out, so had to replace them, since I was otherwise in 3rd gear whenever I was in drive:

Got rid of the 350Z wheels and picked up a set of CST Zero-1 Hyper V2's in 18x9.5 +30 with some 235 KR20's:

After that installed a HKS mushroom filter and blocked the bov for some nice flutter:

Rear speakers were blown ever since I got the car so I upgraded the speakers to Carrozzeria TS-F1740 II's front and rear:

Wanted to freshen up the engine bay a little by replacing the crusty old rubber hoses with silicone ones, very satisfying and fun to do:

Intercooler time; I decided it was time for a big front mount intercooler, an HPI Spec-S aluminum one:

Note to self: cutting further up and to the right a little would've given the piping more room to move around

Very happy with how it turned out, now it looks like a proper turbo car!

New D-Max D1-spec S15 tension rods up front since the stock ones were shot:

And a few days ago I swapped out the stock "Multi AV" system out for a Carrozzeria DEH-6600 head unit as well as separate climate controls:

Hopefully next is the R34 manual transmission swap! Been collecting all the parts for awhile now, just need the transmission and I'll be ready.

      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" 😉

      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

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      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 🍻
