Really? Was that on the old website?

Would love to get the go ahead on the Ultima >_<

I vote that at the end each entrant be allowed one lap sideways. Mmmm, wonder who's done that before...

I still can't believe i got in trouble for this, talk about fun police.

It was the most entertaining thing we saw all day... You definitely had the support of the crowd over at iced coffee, but we all knew it was a matter of time until you saw a black flag waved at you :P

Nah Jack the Radical is a great car to drive,,,proberly the best race car Ive ever driven.

My old Capri sports sedan was by far more of a hand full.

Neil.

Out of curiosity what's the best times you've done in both cars Neil???

Nathan, what times did you end up doing? Its an RB25? What sort of grunt and suspension did it have. Looking at getting a feel for what i should be aiming for from a full weight GTSt at Oran Park on street tyres. I figure if i throw on semis then i am a fair chance of getting a similar time :(

I did a 1.20 with 280rwkw and Federal RS tyres. I'm running an rb26 with a gt3582, retuned it last week on e85 and it made 320rwkw.

According to natsoft you did a 1:21.2...

Roy, I say you'd be doing the same times as DRIFTER or maybe quicker with re55's, providing you stay on the black stuff.... :laugh:

nah, I reckon my Supra on road tyres would run 1:21s this year. It did a 1:24.9 last year on Federal 595SS which were hopeless. The Kumho Ecsta XS tyres (180 treadwear) dropped 2.2 sec off Lakeside and 2.5 sec off QR Sprint times. I'd expect closer to 3 sec off Oran Park GP due to its length and the nature of the course. Plus maybe half a second from the slight power increase from the FMIC and FCD and 1 bar. It was stock last year.

Roy's car should have similar power in a much lighter body (Supra is 1640kg with driver & half a tank) and better tyres in Open class. I reckon 18s too.

Dam Natsoft get's in the way of a good story.

Well i was back in Melb for 1 week and i got absolutely nothing done on the car. So it will be probably be running in its current state of disrepair rather than with its new bits.

So looks like i will be happy with a 1:20, and stoked with a 1:18. Either way i just hope the car is solid for the long drive back to Melb.

    • 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 🍻
