Nah, in all seriousness me and a few friends are going to try to fit my Blitz LM cooler via Abo Bobs instructions. Could be a very interesting day, I'll make sure to take lots of photos of all my phuck ups.

Thanks for the offer Terminal.

Ended up getting a few of the mates around and sorted it out.

Was quite an adventure for me as I have never attempted something quite so extravagant before. Ended up using Abo Bobs instructions but decided I wanted mine higher up in the bar so that the return pipe wasn't so low (Blitz LM kit) so I had to do some errrr "alterations" to the front bar support. I've never seen so many people interested in getting an angle grinder near my car.

Ended up getting it to fit brilliantly with only a few little hiccups along the way. Firstly I had to shorten the transmission cooler hoses as they were in the road. When I put them back on to the cooler one had a small hole leaking a bit of fluid which was a temporary setback. The return pipe also sits a tiny bit below the stone tray/underguard so it got a bit of a trim.

I'm quite impressed with seat of pants results so far. Car seems smoother and doesn't heat soak anymore. Hopefully I pick up a bit of fuel economy. From what I understand a GT-T won't really pick up any power gain from a FMIC and my boost is already high enough as is. Weird thing is I don't really notice any introduced lag, still on full boost by 3000-32000 rpm and I also haven't seen the boost drop at all, was thinking it might drop by 1 or so psi due to pressure drop across the cooler.

Oh and my advice for next weekend Terminal, get a few friends and tell them it could take quite a while (make sure you supply the beer, but also make sure its drunk AFTER you finish). It's not that complicated to do it's just test fitting and re-fitting and fiddling around that takes up lots of time. I figured I didn't want to pay someone to butcher my front bar support I'd rather do it myself and save $200. I also get the satisfaction that I managed to do it myself.

And as for the pictures, unfortunately my french exchange student was going to the national museum so that got priority :cheers:. I will take a few tomorrow. Still not sure how I'm going to remove the big airflow hindrance that is the license plate holder.

      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 🍻
