would a decent sized motorcycle battery be enough to start an RB20?

struggling to find a car battery smal enough to fit in tray with cooler piping.

thoughts?

maybe something like this would fire it up but cranking amps aren't always the be all and end all, a battery needs to sustain the vehicle's amperage, depends on the current draw of an RB20......wouldn't bother ever using lights again I would imagine.

Non lead acid battery in boot is the way to go.

i enjoyed it purely because it was a chance for me to give the 200 a bit of a belting.

that being said, as far as i care, that $90 couldve been better spent on a 4 minute lap dance and a cold beer.

funny, a "full day" of motorsports, and i used more fuel idling in the paddock than i did on the course itself. pathetic.

thats pretty much where i put mine craig

bolted box thru floor, never got in the way. was then easier to chuck the isolator in it too. im not a fan of boot mounting batteries in 31s, especially with the fuel tank being in there. i know in other cars they do it, but theres nowhere good (aside from the spare wheel tub) to put it where you can bolt it down

Did they inform you of the likely number of runs you'd get for the day? I would have thought they'd give you some idea how many runs you'd get (like track days). I know the competitors who paid something like $190 on Saturday only got 6 runs.

I'm guessing too that the $90 included the $25 day licence?

Saturday was funny. Some guy in a 180B did his burnout at the warm up area in preparation for his first timed run, and all I smelt was clutch. Poor guy couldn't get up the first section to the first turn. Rolled down the high backwards and failed trying again. Surely, he must have known his clutch was gone before he entered on the day. And he blew $190 odd. At least you made it up the hill to the finish line 5 times for $90. :P

      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 🍻
