This is just a quick phone video from the roof at SMSP... You can hear the car coming around the back corners before you can see it haha... It was pretty slippery so was taking it pretty slow!

That looks heaps fun Matt. Car sounds so sick on gate.

Yeah once i can get it on a dry track and turn the boost up it will be some fun ;)

You looking after the black beast? Hope its going well...

Would like to see this thing boosted up in the track. Haha.

Beast is going good. Doing some 'light' reading on the Forced Performance section :) Lets see.

:woot: haha.... Good stuff!

Plenty of options around though, if you want to keep it stealth the HG turbos are getting good numbers or you can low mount a billet 3071 etc :D

Yes indeedy! HG is what Im leaning towards. The car will be a weekender in a few weeks time, so thats when the fun starts. I will contact you and pick your brains more about this.. :)

Anytime mate :) Just shoot me a PM if you need any info and ill do what i can to help!

This is a lap in the wet, trying to take it slow and feed the power but it was just too spin happy -

Love your idea of "feeding the power on". Just Stab that f**kin Loud Pedal! :laugh:

Good to see it's all working well and you're enjoying the Fruits.

:laugh: It got like that after a while.... I tried short shifting gears and taking it easy but it was just too slippery so i just drove it Powercruise style after a few laps :P

Its a good feeling to have it running properly that is for sure.... You think a return to SAU Nats 2 years later with some success? ;)

Hahaha could gear it from the pit while you were going through 5 and 6

Lol it was only on gate pressure so not as loud as normal! :P

Car sounds awesome Matt, are you going to texi?

Thanks man! Might be coming down for the day but the car wont be... Ill be saving it for some bigger events :yes:

Hopefully I can join you for SAU Nats this year. Car is coming along strong Mat!

Hope so man! How is the new beast?

Here is some more of session 2... Also shows 5th gear is starting to suffer, i keep getting a gearbox full of neutrals when trying to shift hard :/

Nice vid. My 5th gear has been grinding in ever since I got it if I change into it at anything over 80km/h :(

Still hasn't passed compliance.

It's been at their workshop for 2 months now due to paper work delays.

Hopefully it will be ready this week.

Damn :( I want pics and stuff once its done!

I had a chat to my Diff/Gearbox guy today and he said it needs a freshen up! 4th is tricky at times too! Apparently the synchro on 5th is really small and normally doesn't have issues as its gently shifted on highway speeds, but once you start tracking and smashing it into gear i guess it will start to hurt :( Also, need to extend by diff and gearbox breathers in the near future!

Good to know haha. I never do track days that require 5th so hasn't really bothered me as yet lol. The guy that owned my car before me did a lot of highway driving from Bathurst to Sydney so I'm just guessing he didn't change back when he should have and put too much load on the gear through the moutains or something.

    • 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 🍻
