Yeah last night fuel was about 6c/ltr cheaper in yeppoon than it was in rocky.

Did a lap around yeppoon last night, saw nothing, and on my way home did a "lap" around the circut in rocky and there was nothing too....... meh I'm not really into the lapping thing anyway :domokun:

its actually cheaper up here for ultimate, as i found out driving back on tuesday ....

33SOM are there many imports or skylines in bilo?

There a fair few for the size of the place.. But no cruises etc lol

Id go to rocky for a cruise one day but the roads a lil... umm not good..

Yeah I thought I'd raise my stagea before I got here, thank god I did, but now am seriously thinking of raising it futher, other than the main roads here in rocky, all of them suck dogs balls and are rougher than being a prodistant and walking into a catholic pub in northern ireland!

I lived on a farm near Emerald for many years and went to highschool there, left in 2003... own a black R34 GTT which was up there around easter... it's still ford/holden/shitbox 4cyl central... didn't see any nice imports, just a beat-up r32 and rough-sounding 180 spring to mind. Almost lost the license floating at 150 out the back of Rolleston, slowed for a rise and passed a copper at a tick under 120 :|

Oh, and in regards to the first few pages (from many moons ago) I too remember the chameleon piles of shit - forgotten the smash repairs guy who had the gold rodeo and chenara's vs commodore... reminds me of the quality of the lapping scene :yes:

Yeah i didn't think it was that bad, only some of the ghetto streets are that bad. Actually i was shocked hopw bad the M1 is in places when i was in brisbane last week. The Road from Yeppoon to Rocky is much better.

Yeah it is a nice road, wonder when they will make it split all the way?

About the rough roads in rocky, I find that anything but the highway or Yamba/Musgrave/Queen Elizabeth/Fitzroy street is just shat, bumpy, uneven, potholes, and just generally crap to drive on, guess it might be the stiff setup on the stag, but yeah I dont go the "back" way round town, even if it was shorter, it ends up being longer because I have to slow down ~40kph to feel safe.....

Eventually they play dot to dot with yeppoon road and join all the over taking lanes. Their always extending and adding new passing lanes and overtaking lanes.

yeah true about rocky i guess, I drive a work car most of the time so maybe i don't notice it as much. Glenmore road is horrible (i assume thats the back road our refering too).

Yeah Farm Rd sucks dogs balls too!!

Soon I'll be putting 15" rims, so having a tyre that actually has a bit of tyrewall should cushin the bumps a bit, but still going to raise it a bit more, maybe another inch or so, and change the dampening to soften the ride, turn it back into a boat :D

    • 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 🍻
