hey guys,

My car has been stuffing up as of late. When its cold it seems to crank over easily, but as soon as it warms up, on idle it just stalls and turns off and i cant crank it back over.

Im guessing its the earthing problem that i have been reading about but i just wanted to make sure.

Today i also put in a set of splitfire coil packs with the same result.

Thanks guys,

Jacob

Hey man, I'm having the same problem with my r32 but when i did a ecu check it told me(after i let the engine warm up) that something was wrong with the knock sensor. I'm not really sure what the knock sensor does but i'm gonna have a look see and post my result. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Hey Juvv my car starts normally again. After checking all the electrical stuff like running an ecu check and other stuff it turned up nothing. So i decided to lift the head of the car and guess what? We found leaking valves man. So this is what you do run a compression test on each cylinder. The compression on each should be between 110- 140psi. Let me know whats up. If the compression is below 100psi,get your mechanic and you buy some new valves or grind the ones you have is they didn't melt or aren't burnt badly.

Well after pulling out my valves we saw that they weren't seated properly so we grinded the ones that i already had. And now i'm starting one click even when its hot. Exactlly what is the "CAS?" Check the compression on the engine and lets see what its saying. Remember if its less than 100psi your valves are the problem. The compression is leaking pass the valves due to the head warping.

      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 🍻
