Had a ridiculously good time yesterday!! Thanks to all the organisers for another perfect day. Thanks to Ando especially for the good key tips that shaved up my times --very happy mate!!! :P

Bring on the next one.

Ian, champ you did absolutley awesome! You had it down pat before i jumped in... just need some 'fine tuning' :happy: Wakefield is a great track to 'push the envolope' as such as it rewards you well with times when you give it about 90%! Hitting into the 1:14's is nothing to be sneezed at, well done mate!

As i said before we left, get to OP GP!! By far one of the best tracks, fast, technical, flowing, everything you could ask from a track!

ok here is a couple of videos from yesterday.

still editing some others so will try put more up soon

whoever had the white 33 with the plates GEE 33R you should watch the last one. it has a few laps of me behind you.

after going through my videos and timing my laps via that way. my quickest was a 1:16 which i am rather pleased with considering it was my first track day ever and on street tyres

Looks like I am the last one to say thanks, but thats to ALL for an awesome day.

All my mates hear now is "track day this... and track day that..." and they are sick of me talking about my track day already! HAHAHAHA

But i had so much fun. Was so different to go there with a club and not just randoms like i do normally.

Was great to meet the whole gang and finally put some faces to the Usernames and Avatar pictures!!!!

Cheers to chubbs for hand timing me to pull a 1:14 flat...... pretty dam stoked with that, with more mods to come, looking forward to the next day already..

THANKS AGAIN ALL!!!

Oh yeah and it was a race against time to get home on my semi slicks before the storm, just got home and them BOOM down came the rain and thunderstorm. Plus there was flooding in eastern suburbs, looked insane!!!

Good track day for me, despite a number of issues with the car... popping out of third gear was one, the shower of fuel from my tank breather hose was another. Sorry to the open-top guys who got a faceful. Fatz timed a couple of laps for me and reckons I did 1:12.97 which I certainly hope to improve on when the suspension (and other things) are sorted. Abo I hope you enjoyed watching my spin into turn one hehe. Also thanks to Mr Cass for minding my bag. Nearly had to buy a new toothbrush...

Man I wish I had a working car... You kids had so much fun!

Thank you to everyone that spent many hours organising the event, even though I didn't get to drive I'll be at the next one... for sure.

So jealous of all of your lower control arms, lol.

^^

haha, that was me. I saw you had a smile on your face and after the wave new it was all good.

Just got back from Canberra after heading down again this morning i am officially dead tired!

I also found out what my massive shuddering was any time i tapped the breaks on the way home - cracked rear right rotor. Given their condition I'm not too surprised, and gives me a good reason to upgrade i suppose :-)

    • 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 🍻
