Welcome to SAU dude.

Bit of a step up from a commonwhore to a skyline ;).

IMHO Don't chip the ECU, it'd be easier to buy a Power FC (complete replacement ECU), or just an SAFC.

Also, lower your car dude!! Your rims aren't to my taste, but hey whatever floats your boat. Just lower it! :P It's riding a little high. Seriously high :D

Check out the Forced Induction Performance section for threads on how to get a bit more zip out of your line.

Firstly, nice ride.. welcome to the club..

Rather than re-chipping the ECU - I suggest you look into a Power FC which is a fully replaceable ECU and the results will be as good as if not better than a re-chip.. should look at about ~$1050 for a power fc + about $300 for dyno time + tuning.. maybe more.. some of the guys should know..

cheers,

damm man.... 20" chromes? eww.. hehe Wouldnt want to get a defect :D

Your car does look very high.. Even mine isnt that high.

Id get king spings or whiteline springs and replace the shock. Coil overs are nice on good and smooth roads like tracks. But when u drive it on Sydney roads.. remember to get a coushin..

      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 🍻
