R33 Style FMIC in R34

Very busy weekend, just installed an r33 sytle FMIC in my er34. All i can say is that after alot of cutting and grinding it fits. I didn't take any shots during the mod, since i was busy all weekend and didn't even think about taking any. However i will get some shots next weekend since the front bumper has to come off so i can remount and fit the wiper watertank (thats one thing r34s have to modify).

Some of the biggest time consuming things of the weekend. (r34 specific)

* The r34 bonnet had to be cut in order to close - the overcam pipe needs to be high and more to the front to clear the radiator fan; by cutting out some of the bonnet support structure i was able to get a 0.1cm clearence :P (atleast it closes, however there will still be rubbing from the soft bonnet padding.

* The wiper water tank needs to be moved; haven't figured that out yet so im currently driving without one. Either it needs to be repoistioned else where or, what i think might work, rotate it 90 degrees so its facing forward and construt support brackets.

* For autos, that sensor in front of the trans cooler needs to be flipped inward or your IC will hit it.

Anyone attempting to do this, allow a full weekend since it took me 9-5 sat and sun of full time work (no lunch breaks) to get this done, so allow plently of time if you need to drive the car monday. This morning the car drove well, no noticable turbo lag; fitted a greddy pod filter at the same so all i can hear now in the cabin is the turbo whine - totally cancealling out the BOV, sounds awesome though.

the blitz kit must be different, does the blitz kit run a pipe behind the IC to other side?; by r33 style i mean that the intake pipe went up and over the cam cover and radiator fan not down into the stock holes. Therefore in order to get clearance some of the supports needed to be 'removed' and a hole cut down in the subframe to bring it around into the area where the wiper tank is.

      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 🍻
