Ok so i took the car for a run yesterday and thought it was off the show (not able to keep it straight and just lighting up the rears) anyway i dont have my boost gauge yet and wasn't 100% sure what it was running. Figured it to be around 12 -14psi so i borrowed Griffo's boost gauge and "BOY" was i off. :innocent:

The little old RB20 was boosting at slightly over 1.5 bar. :chairshot

So we turned the boost back to 1bar and is MUCH better, still very easy to loose the rear end from time to time, just have to moderate it with the right foot. :confused:

Im going for 240rwk's once i get the FMIC on an exhaust but i think TimmyB can back me up on this as i think i have one of the toughest sounding cars getting around on Tassie roads :Pimp2:

Pics to come guys.

Sorry guys was in a bit of a rush when i posted this yesterday. Realised i had posted it in the wrong section and then reposted it in here. Just realised though that i cut over half the original post off.

Hope this helps to clear it up a little now.

Car mods as follows:

TD-06 turbo with external waste gate (50MM i believe)

bigger injectors (with extra injector for high boost)

GReddy injector equaliser control (is what i've been told it is)

aftermarket ECU

electronic boost controller

upgraded fuel pump and swirl pot

adjustable fuel regulator

Z32 AFM

GReddy BOV (currently venting to atmosphere

GTR intercooler (replacing stock intercooler) want a FMIC

3' dump from the turbo into rear muffler which is standard at the moment, with extractors.

GTR rotors and calipers (is what i've been told)

irridium plugs and upgraded ignition coils

rods and pistons have been done as well as bearings (is what i was told)

set of race springs and HKS front and rear strut brace.

Apexi air intake with modded CAI /Heat shielding (thanks to SAU thread)

button racing clutch and locked diff (want to change diff)

Have not dyno'd the car yet as im still getting it on the road and everything sorted out. When i do i'll let you know how it goes.

Talking to the tuner yesterday and he said if didn't have a couple of hundred kilowats after driving it he said he would eat his hat

Can not wait to get it on the road although i have been re thinking it as a daily driver now!!!

That's a nice looken Gts-t. that's a sweet colour, is it factory?

Cheers dude. I love the colour as well thats what first attracted (can i say that about a car :confused: ) me to the car.

As far as i know its not a stock colour. It was resprayed in Japan. You should see it in person its looks even better.

Haven't had time to give it a wash and polish. But will give it a full detail when time permits then post some more pics. :Pimp2:

on the boost thing, it could possibly be the diaphram in the wastegate is faulty??? that caused a mate of mines rotor to eventually see his boost guage off the scale and pop the motor

Nah its cool man its all sorted now.

Borrowed riffo's gauge and we went for a run, realising that it was just over 1.5 bar set off the EBC. Has now been turned WAY back and all good.

BUGGER for your mate, not good at all.

ah good... yeh it was a 30psi boost gauge and it was reading like 40 or more, checked it again to see if the guage was faulty and yeh not cool killed the turbo and motor.

BUGGER, not good at all mate. Thats why i borrowed Griffo's gauge to see what was going on. EXTREMLY GLAD i did now :rant:

The general feedback i been getting about the car has been awesome. Everyone loves the way it sounds, got to love a screamer :Pimp2:

      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 🍻
