Queensland Raceway or Lakeside. You can do a lot of stuff on an AASA Clubman License (Sprints, Drift, etc). $55 a year and you don't even have to do a test. There's also drags at willowbank, I don't think you need any licence for that.

Keep it off the streets, nobody likes a street racer.

I am thinking of buying my first sportscar an old skyline. Where can you learn to drive fast in brisbane? Do you need a special license? What about "open roads" with no cops?

Take it to a track, lakeside or QR... Straight line use Willowbank drag strip...

Anywhere else and you risking your life and more importantly the life of others...

Skyline drivers are not snobs, they just get sick of being pulled over cause there are a few "hoons" who like to drive them and taint the whole image...

Wow! What nice people we have on this forum!!!!! Perhaps I will fcuk off!

Everyone has to start somewhere. Are skyline owners snobs??

start at a track, or even a skidpan, where there is plenty of room for you to spin out with no telephone poles, gutters, police and let alone innocent people

Thanks sorry I see. I was thinking more like a piece of totally open road with no other traffic, i guess in the old days you could go bush and drive fast out there. So there are racetracks? How much do you pay for insurance and use of a racetrack?

I was kinda hoping this would be a friendly scene.. I used to be involved in classic car racing and hill climbs in the UK and this was a very friendly scene, although i didnt own my own car my uncles had old racers from the 30s and 40s! Im just looking for a new hobby, ive given up on motorbikes since a nasty accident.

This is a friendly scene and we are friendly people.

Some people have lost their licence due to speeding, or getting defects, others have lost loved ones due to other people speeding etc.

When you post about racing or whatever down "open roads" with no cops you can't expect anything different from what has been posted above. It's foolish and idiotic.

Keep your racing to the track, the links have been provided at the top for you so visit their websites, give them a call and they will be able to answer your questions on costs etc.

Racing down an 'open road' is just as stupid as racing down the middle of town. Your life is just as valuable as the person next to you, even if you don't believe it yourself.

No, but some of them on this forum are the biggest nazis ever, its mainly the old farts. Just ignore them. Just find yourself an industrial area and have yourself a ball. Willowbank is in the middle of no-where and you have to drive ages to get there from anywhere in brisbane and plus you gotta get licence and entry fee, and pretty similar story to qld raceway.

Tristan is like 12, he is not old he is just not fully sick.

Some places where you can have a good drive but not break the speed limit include Nt Nebo, Mt Mee, Esk-Hampton Road and Gold - Coast Springbrook road

As far as going to an industrial estate that is neither fun nor safe fail ++

      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 🍻
