All it takes is a bit of practice, and I've had too much practice :laughing-smiley-014:

I think I did it about roll 2, so it should be fine. Was the last time I did it, and that one ended up on the roof as well.

Our first outting with the Dry sump was today. Oran park south circuit

Absolute success. Few minor dramas like the just jap silicon piping spliting and restricting it to 8psi, and rear brake issues but other wise it managed a 50.2 with stuff all power (sub 250Kw id assume)

Time to pull it all apart and switch shells now!

i was at OP on Sat arvo/night, went and watched Niel in the Radicall, looked like heaps of fun. Also met Duncan so good to be able to put faces to names. Was surprised at the mix of cars that were there. Street cars to race cars. NO SKYLINES. was a RB powered silvia that was quick. Did you go on Sunday?

yeah good to meet you too Stuart. now get your car finished and out there so there is at least 1 skyline around :P

we got the rear cradle back from John on the weekend, we now have a very adjustable rear end. still need to fit the hicas replacement arms to it then it is ready to go in with all the colourful chinese bits bolted on. Glad we bought most of the bits before the $AUD crashed.

Brad you better get a wriggle on, Neil dragged his radical around there in 48.18 on saturday

Duncan,

I think I'll clean up the original crush tubes and weld them to the top and bottom plates that I was going to make up to replace the cradle bushes. This will eliminate the need to add a bush to the bottom when bolting it in and make sure that the holes are exactly the right size.

Only problem is that I'm going to have to root around in the bin to find them. Sometimes I get the good ideas way too late.

I too was surprised at the mix of cars but yes it was a very hot day. Their was a nice clean red r32 gtr there in the arvo when I was out watching Neil but I did't get any laptimes from it.

well the good news is I never got around to putting them in the bin, they were sitting next to it cooling down after their roasting.....

You didn't, but I did. Thank god the kids aren't in nappies any more.

Oh I know that silvia all too well.

I have to see it pretty every day at work.

Ha ha your a funny guy mark,,,I'll bet you don't chew your fingernails anymore either.

Young Brad,,,Duncan's correct,,,but a wriggle on won't cut it. I consider my 48.18 as slow,,,i'm really chasing a 46.

Neil.

      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 🍻
