Good example of a launch/drag testing on a dyno is the one of the evo with anti-lag.. it's on youtube.. i'll see if I can dig it up

I believe they only have RWD dyno's though @ Drag Tag - is that correct?

State of the art, 4WD Dyno Dynamics units - 3 of :D

2/ What the? Absolutely no vested interest in it at all. I'm simply speaking from the perspective of someone that has done it numerous times and has more of an insight into the idea than someone guessing or theorising about what it's probably like.

The fact that the magazine you work for has hefty advertising of DragTag and that they "probably" made some arrangement where you get to have a few goes, in return for some magazine space and/or a good report on the experience is not at all creating a biased view? :D

Drag Tag haven't advertised in Extreme for many months. If it wasn't good fun and if it didn't have huge potential, I wouldn't say it did. Jase, when have you known me to bight my tongue if I thought something was a shit-house idea?

I got to have a few goes at the drag racing and circuit racing concept on a visit to Melbourne to cover a car show event and shoot a couple of cars for work. We neither reported on our experiences in the magazine or ran any advertising for them because of it. It's just a good thing to get in to, especially in a state as starved for racing as VIC.

Wheel angle sensing lasers point at the front wheels - just the same as the RWD or FWD setup.

But you cant really turn the wheels left/right when the front wheels are on the dyno rollers can you?

The brackets are only on the rear but believe me, it takes a seriously powered GTR to fry the fronts on the dyno in this situation. Your car has its own profile in the system before you race which incorporates the weight of the vehicle, the drag coefficient (based on the front windscreen angle) etc which all plays into the math for the simulation.

      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 🍻
