So, i was sick of the stickers from the dodgy paint so i figured i would pull the stickers off and just put some white vinyl or something over them to look clean from a distance, BUT that didnt exactly go to plan so now i need the bonnet resprayed properly :dry: I was planning on going to a Blits bonnet and getting it painted but i dont have the time now so ill just get the heavy ass steel one done....

Although its a pain in the ass at least the shitty HT sticker is now off! No more laughter from a certain DVS man! :nyaanyaa:

So the bonnet is going to the shop tonight, fingers crossed itll all be complete and back on by Thursday!

Bahahahaha

At least it's still shiny

You buffed it to bare metal man! :P Nah all good, it will look heaps better with the paint fixed! Its still pretty shiny thanks to you!

now i see why you need your bonnet painted lol

Told you it was bad :P

Removed it at 5.30pm, at panel shop at 6, work commenced at 6.15pm!! Love it.... Bare metal Respray and some dents to be fixed too :yes:

So bonnet is off and it is down with the painter for repairs, he noticed 2 minor dents which ive never seen and also suggested we respray the lip. He is going out of his way to work on it of a night for me which i am really grateful for especially given the Thursday deadline....

GREX oil cooler block with Thermostat has been ordered thanks to the help of Dean for locating it for me!! Will run custom black braided lines and speedflow fittings for the stealth factor :ph34r:

always seems to be some old V8 around, what tyres you using on the rear? would it smoke more if the tyre was soft compound, im trying to figure out how to make the most smoke when i do a burnout at the drags next, smoking out the spectators would be a awesome feat :yes:

Yeah soft tyres should be better for smoke.... They are just 275/35/18 Nexans.... No grip lol

But they would pump smoke of you have good wheel speed and stay stationary, that was peeling smoke while moving at a fair pace.... There is a video coming from a car behind on one of the laps so I'll finally see how much it made lol...

The more traction you have, the more smoke it will make.

Challenge accepted!! At least you finally got some sort of skid video :P

  • 2 weeks later...

It is sitting nice and high out of harms way but will need some finishing touches like ducting etc, the oil temps are good on the track the way it is so i am pretty happy overall.

    • 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 🍻
