Saw another accident right out front of a tow truck drivers shop, (Pure Grunt Performance, V8 guys). Whoever it was on the motorbike did not come off to well. It involved 3 cars and a motorbike. Apparently it always happens on that road.

Bryanlee38, there is 3 basic types of diff's. One is called a open diff, that drives the car forward with one whell, usually the easiest one to move. If turning left (correct me if I am wrong here Paul) it drives the car forward with the outside wheel. A locked diff, also illegal, drives the car forward with both wheels all the time. It makes your car a horrible pig to drive but makes sure 2 wheels always spin in a burnout. When turning a corner, the inside one skips as it is trying to cover the same amount of ground as the outside one which we all know is impossible, thus making the whole car vibrate and jump horribly. A LSD is the best of all 3 and has been explained to you by Paul. This guys car is open, but when open diffs are worn out, they become LSD soughta, very unpredictable what wheels will drive when and make the car dangerous if driven in a already dangerous manner.

Sorry for babbling up half the page but hope that helped a little more.

b005t i remember seeing your mate driving that car no a cruise ages ago... doesnt suprise me him and a supra with p plates almost cleaned up my mate when they cut him off. Sad to see though :)

Also on that cruise u were in a yellow Audi S4 and shouting stuff at various people.. oh and your mate(i think) tried telling me my car was his mates and it was really quick :)

Overall though, condolences with all the people who have crashed, hopefully they're all ok :O

      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 🍻
