ok, serviced the car yesterday, nothing special, just oil & filter. also dropped the rubbish nulon gearbox oil out and replaced it with some Repsol synthetic matic atf. Much better.

checked and adjusted the wheel alignment,

running 6 deg caster, 3 deg neg camber and 1.5mm toe out on front.

3 deg neg camber and 1.8mm toe in on rear.

will see how it goes. Bring on wakefield.

Had a great day at Wakefield, eventually got the tune sorted after datalogging a few laps, car was very lean in places so happy to get it sorted.

Diff is tired, needs a re-build, tyres also tired, so am i, but happy with the car.

managed to real off a few 1.08s in the last session which was very good.

hope to get diff done and some tyres for SAU track day.

you may run into issues with the "you cant putting a V8 into a car under XXXXkg" rules

Thankyou craved!!! 6.0L NA will do perfectly then!

Will have a detremental affect on turbo'ing it though....hmmm...oh well...as long as i can do it that's the main thing!

Is it true when you put a GM V8 in an R32 you have to for go the power steering?

They don't need turboing... It'll go like hell without one!

Think about it, take a VE Commodore with a 6.0L, what're they, 1.6T? Now drop 250KG... Throw a cam in, exhaust, tune done...

I'd have done it to mine except people want too much money!

there are also startermotor relocation kits available now which puts the starter on the other side which would solve all the issues. if your 32 goes 1350kg, you will be 450kg lighter than a VE, trust me, you dont need to turbo it. the car turns 3rd gear for fun. the torque is massive.

found a thread on sump extensions and baffeling, going to do this before next track day.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
