I know we are changing the topic, but Amaroo was awesome. The whole complex was fantastic.

I remember having an intense battle with Gary (sydneykid) in our two 1970 odd model Honda civic on Amaroo dirt circuit back in the late 80's. We were 1st and 2nd outright throughout the whole day against big horse power machines. Each time one of us would go out we would pip the other for first. Gary got me by a tenth of a second in the end on the very last run of the day.

Awesome to have experienced stuff like that :banana:

And if you ever got the chance to race at Catalina in Katoomba (circuit is still there) you would have felt certain parts of your anatomy tightening :) as you drove around it. It was one of those circuits that required full commitment.

Nice memory Boz, I still have that trophy, somewhere in the cabinet, probably needs polishing. :(

I always liked Amaroo dirt circuit, I have a few FTD's from there. I think it was my most successful venue on a wins versus attempts basis. I engineered the car that held the record at Amaroo before Boz knocked it off, so I guess we are about square.

Ahh Catalina, in winter, with the fog in the air and moss growing on the circuit. That was a sphincter tightening experience.

car not ready, targetted scruitiny not done, entry date missed, and no tyres. One or two of those I could sort out but not all 4.

Will be in for Eastern Creek late may instead - but it means I have no chance for the championship this year.

hey its not like I haven't been busy - I'm about to start building my 3rd motor for the year. And I've had the motor in and out 4 times in 4 months!

I need a bloody workshop to do it all. Or even a hoist would be nice.

nah not a chance in production cars - it is class based so if you don't do every round there will be someone from another class that will. Class A have the advantage since there is a bonus point for fastest lap (or pole I can't remember).

But I'll still get out there to cause trouble for the rest of the year :thumbsup:

    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • 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
