I parked in the front yard last night and all was good untill I go out to the car at 6:45am to go to work...

3 hours later 1 foot of mud deep and the car almost sliding into the hole in the front yard. I called my wife home from work with a freind, a 4wD and tow rope :P

I was covered in mud and it looks like someone had a demolition derby in the front yard...

here are the pics for a laugh.

the bottom of the car was dragging on the mud

when we towed it out the wheels just slid not rolled

I nearly lost the car in the hole of doom

After being pissed off for an hour i had a laugh and went to work :mrt:

FEAR THE HOLE OF DOOM...

That's what you get for using your front yard as a skidpan Nic... if you just eased off for a while some grass might actually grow :mrt:

cops came over about an unrelated incident last night and had some puzzled looks and did the "look at the car" "look at the tyre marks" routine.

When the mud you've been driving through is acutally above the FMIC (and you've cleared it by hand after getting to point B) and marks are level with the top of the front bar, you know it's been raining for a while... :-)

(after about 15-20k's of 4 wheel 'sliding' in a '33 GTST......doh me for choosing an unsealed road.. again.....)

The saying 'She'll be right' really owes me, sometimes.......

      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 🍻
