You make it sound like I'm about to die Chris ;)

I'll have to get organised for SAUVIC then... despite the fact I won't have a Skyline (at least in VIC)... first day down will be 17th of July so I'm good to go anytime after that !

If it looks like you will be here for long just kill yourself now. What a cold miserable hole. 6 years and other than the track days and SAU outings I've despised every second.

Miserable one day - shithouse the next.

:D

If you're gonna live in melb, you're definitley going to have to pick and AFL team :laugh:

True, you will be left out of many conversations if you don't follow AFL. I know from experience.

Seeing as you're from Sydney, and probably moving to South Melbourne, I think the the Swans are definately your team. They used to be based in South Melbourne.

I'm talking about day-to-day life, like work etc. Many of my Melbourne friends were big AFL fans as I found most Melbournians are. When conversing about AFL I never knew what the hell they were going on about. I had never known the rules and never heard of the players they often talked about.

To me the game was full of forward passes, knock-ons, and almost everyone is off-side. :D

Well I gotta say from a 'liveable' point of view Melbourne certainly has it all over Sydney. If you want to get somewhere, its straightforward/simple/easy, theres little traffic, people are generally friendlier and despite the occasional cool night and downpour, I'd say the weather has been good !!

My only gripe being that of having recieved a parking fine outside my own house... within a week... damn council.....

If anyone wants to meet up for a beer anytime in the next few weeks let me know / shoot me a PM :D

I can't believe no one has told you to spend a whole weekend at Revolver!

And is it Little Collins street where those side alleys go and there are little underground bars. Just walk around at midnight looking for well dressed people coming out of strange places and go where they came from.

Few of us are local to you, well within a km or two. Local beers are always good as $50 cab fares home suck! Defo come to the meeting on Tuesday though. :)

I am in Port Melb, near the Tassie ferry.

Tuesday sounds too good to refuse...

Providing I'm finished work by then I'll be there.... who am I looking out for to meet so I don't end up standing around like an idiot??

PS: Need I ask what revolver is?

There are about 40-60 of us depending on the turnout.

We are in the meeting/function area with the projector. Not hard to miss, and you can enter the room from Moray St itself.

Revolver, on Chapel St as posted, not far from you, or me hehe :(

Its not as bad as people say if you ask me

      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 🍻
