No, nothing to do with racing, just head-turning :( I was behind an M3 last night in heavy traffic going towards the city. At one point on the side of the road was a bunch of guys standing around talking. One of them looked my way and pointed, and the whole group all had a good look at my car as it went past. I didn't notice any of them pay any attention to the M3! :P

i don't think he'd care for some reason.

sorry to break up your party but looks isn't what it's all about. i'd rather have the m3 over any gtst or gtr anyday of the week.

Who cares who'd rather have what or which car is better? If it was about speed or even lap times around Eastern Creek, my TLR would probably ownz0r the M3 anyway, but who really cares? I never said my car was better than an M3, and I never said the M3 sucked. All I was talking about was a bit of attention my car got, which made me feel a little special. That's all. I'm allowed to have that aren't I? :(

Soopamarcus, my car's not externally visually any different from stock (well, unless you count the FMIC and 3" exhaust). It does have a T04 turbo and Apexi pod in it though, which makes for some cool induction noises. That could have been what made the first guy turn his head in the first place.

:lol:

settle down mate, i was just pointing out to soopermarcus that the driver of the m3 prolly didn't care about what others think of his cars looks. if he did he, at 100k you can buy yourself a damned better looking car than the m3.

anyhoo, everyone loves that bit of attention you get with the skyline. i'm glad you enjoyed it and i'm sure you'll get more of it in the future.:P

jim,

you made it quite clear to me that you did care who'd have what car and which car is better when you pointed out "...didn't notice any of them pay any attention to the M3! ..."

i'm merely illustrating that the bunch of guys who obviously envied you and your skyline over the M3 was a small and somewhat inaccurate sample set of the population who would otherwise look at an M3 over a Skyline...

but, you probably have a very nice example skyline and obviously a very fast track car and im not denying any of that - and agree that the skyline does attract a certain crowd....

No, I really don't care :( It's not like I would have been insulted if they had looked at the M3 and not my car, it wasn't even something I was thinking about beforehand. It just surprised me, I wasn't expecting it, and just something I thought I'd write a post on because I got a bit of a big head over it. I've gone from owning a loud V8 VS Commodore the past 4 years, where the only looks you get are "where the hell is that obnoxious noise coming from?" :P

No one's meant to take this to heart, not even the guy who owns the M3! I know he has the more expensive/better car.

George,,When a new model is released,,,we use an intra-net posting site to post all problems before the cars are released to the public and afterwards,,,,I can't post any here. I can give one little tit-bit though,,,,When my wife did BMW,,,,one of the 1st E36 318i's came to this country with only one rear shock.....Now that quality control.....

      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 🍻
