So the missus has just informed me that she needs a holiday and has booked us a flight to the middle of nowhere to visit family... i really wanted to drive there but it was a last minute decision by the boss :(

Will be there over xmas new years period anything that i shouldn't miss out on while I'm there, Ive been told it gets pretty dead as everyone leaves to go visit relys Etc.

But Im stuck there for 10 days so will need some entertainment to prevent the relys from driving me crazy.

How longs it take to drive to that big rock can u get there and back in a day..Anything else worth seeing..

Cheers

Cool so the missus got out just in time to take the trip up here and I now understand why no-one has taken the time to reply..

There is just so much going on here, there is a dust festival on, plus a sunbaking and fly swatting contest and the shopping centre is so busy that most have closed their doors, Im guessing they couldnt handle the Xmas rush..

The Gap View hotel gets pretty exciting around 2pm but dies off just as quick, and the cue at the Drive thru bottle-O was a record breaker im sure, im talking down the street here..Bojangles wasnt half bad either and I tried my first NT draught here and well, it definately tasted like beer

Apparently theres a big rock and some desert parks (not sure what that means yet but i guess it is a desert with swings) out here somewhere thats about the most exciting thing to do so maybe i should go do it.. :thumbsup:

NB..i have seen a white soarer a blue wrx and a black rx7 but no skylines....

Dude it's too hot here to do anything at the moment. I live here and have a R32 GTR with 520kw at wheels and a R33 GTR with 330kw at wheels. Probabably about 7 GTRs in town including my two. Also my missus drives a blue WRX, heaps of WRxs in town (probably 30 or so) Most peole here drink XXXX too mate.

      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" 😉

      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 🍻
