Some of you may of read my other post with the drama's i have had with my Autech 260RS, well after getting on the piss me with me mates they suggested getting a stock series 1 and swapping it all over. Well i have done that and know im starting the planning process now of how am i going to do this?!!

I have a Series 2 Autech 260rs and i want to put it all into the stock series 1 RS4 i have.

I have been told that the mechanicals will go straight in, and ive read the posts on the manual conversion, this stuff isnt to hard for me to do as i have access to a hoist and all tools.

What worries me is the electric side of things, im hoping the engine looms will interchange?

I want to put the series 2 front end on, any problems lay ahead of me there? Will the lights etc be the same wiring?

I want to put the series 2 interior in, with the 3 gauges etc will the wiring be there? Or part of the Autech loom? I will swap the seats etc to.

Our theory is that they wouldnt of changed to much between the two? mainly just cosmetic?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hurdles were gonna face?

Thanks

Neil

Don't forget that the 260RS is structurally stiffer in the body due to some extra reinforcements in the body and chassis. I know that there is extra bracing in the top of the c-pillars, but can't remember where the rest is.

i would think if you want to do it right you would need to virtualy strip to a shell and start from scratch

looms etc would prob be a straight forward swap over etc.i wouldnt count on wiring being in the s1 to suit s2.i know that a dayz s2 with satnav etc the looms are diff to my stock s2.

i don't see why, when you have everything out, you wouldn't just swap EVERYTHING over including looms etc to save any unforseen electrical hassles. tis what i would do. the headlight wiring loom would be slightly different too with the s2 having the divorced highbeams

one of the autech chassis strengtheners from memory is a brace under the tailshaft tunnel, its removal and goes straight on a series 1 stagea, i know this because mine has got one.

as mike said just put every loom from the autech in the s1 and then u know its the same :P alot of work ahead, taking the dash etc out is a pain in the arse but something that just takes time.

good luck mate and give me a buzz if have any issues along the way :/

I will taking bulk pictures for sure.

Gonna be a massive job but i have booked holidays from work and so have a few of my mates so we can get it done.

Sounds like an entire loom swap is gonna happen.

But what an opportunity! :D

The ability to "neaten" everything above and beyond factory spec means you have the chance to build a damn nice machine man.

Good luck with it. :P

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
