CA airbox - cant help

Quick mods i guess... nothing IMO

Leave the car as if, you probably more used to driving it how it currently is, why change the balance?

As for the motorkhana... itself.

Have a look here:

There are a few video attachments in the thread from the FEB DECA Day that you can download to give you an idea of the day.

Im just the BBQ man and i have the time of my life... driving would be almost as fun i reckon :)

cheers

im with ash, dont change anything. the day is more focused on driver skill and how the car handles, as apposed to outright power. just keep the car how you are used to it on the street and you should do fine. there are a few girls entering so it should be a good competition. sarah is driving my car so no doubt she will beat me, as she can follow instructions.

you basically loose points for hitting cones and making mistakes. if you do the runs without making mistakes and missing cones then you;ll be fine, as a lot of guys (including me) try and go flat out and make too many mistakes. there are big penalties for mistakes

Quick mod? Don't. Just make sure you have enough oil, check brake fluid, coolant......is quick mod :D. I've seen your car at heathcote.

Hey, welcome.

Can't help you with the airbox sorry, I sold mine about 6 months ago

I still have heaps of other random parts lying around if you need though.

As for mods, what West said, just some general maintenence stuff to make sure the car doesnt die on the day.

S13's are great handling cars anyway, and thats more what the day is about, driver skill and handling.

There isn't enough room for power.

If you did want to do some quick things, front/rear strut braces I guess, and maybe a new set of tyres..?

It doesn't matter if you don't have any mods anyway, the aim of the day is to have fun, and there isn't any way you can't have fun at DECA.

Hi Sharni and welcome. First good step, having a go. The rest is just for the fun of it. In fact this time I'm just going to try to slide as much as possible.

Starting Rain Dance for more sliding goodness.

Sharni - as discussed, you will have an ace weekend at DECA.

The driving part is all about getting out there and having fun, but I guarentee you'll have more fun socialising on the Saturday night than you will driving during the day!!! :nyaanyaa:

See you up there,

:fakenopic:

Thats a big statement from someone who has never done the driving before Bec! :nyaanyaa:

For me whilst the nights are fun the driving is more fun. It's great to be able to legally have some fun in your car and in Vic there's no where better for it than DECA. Especially our event designs!

      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 🍻
