so ..... can anyone tell me how to fit the damn front swaybar? And what are the best settings to use (I bought an adjustable one) - I take it neutral is the centre one - but what holes do I use to change what properties?

I usually start of with the front bar on full soft and the rear on the middle setting.

If it oversteers too much, then I move the front bar to the middle setting

If it still oversteers too much, then I back the rear bar off to the softest setting

If it still oversteers too much, then I move the front bar to the highest setting

If it still oversteers too much, then you might need some more rear camber and/or the HICAS is still working (get rid of it) and/or the rear subframe alignment kit needs to be set to maximum traction (squat)

I usually start of with the front bar on full soft and the rear on the middle setting.

If it understeers too much, then I move the rear bar to the highest setting

If it still understeers too much then you don't have enough caster/camber on the front

:D cheers :D

thanks for the sway bar info SK.

Oh and fyi, when I fitted the front shocks/springs, with them at the standard height that they were delivered to me (the middle circlip groove), the front was 370mm from the centre of the wheel. I had to drop it 2 circlip grooves to make it 350mm. Not sure if they have buggered up the circlip groove heights or what. I am yet to install the rear shocks.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks heaps for all your efforts too!!

Like all springs , they will settle a little bit, so make sure you check the heights after 1,000 k's or so.

:( cheers :(

swaybars are in, no other sus mods, but car sits noticeably flatter. Rear end is more predictable, can really find the limit of your tyres a bit too easily :thumbsup:

it might just be in my head, but would it make the car a bit more "solid" over general bumps and humps? I seemed to notice on my usual roads that are a little crappy, and just going straight, the car will just be more settled over the uneven stuff. Might just be in my head :domokun:

settings i have at the moment are full hard rear, full soft front. Will wait for a track day to play with them

      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 🍻
