So, I am sure a few of you would have heard about this place, but I finally bit the bullet and took Teh Fury down there to do the long anticipated clutch change, and I can not rate this place highly enough.

For those of you that havent heard of it, its a fully equpied workshop that is available to hire on an hourly basis. All tools etc are supplied, and they even have a brand spanking new downdraft spray booth and fully curtained prep area.

I got handed an awesome workbay that came with a 2 post hoist that you only need 45mm of ground clearance to get on to (great for those of us with lowered rigs) a fully kitted out brand spanking new quality tool kit, and anything I didnt have, al i needed to do was wander over to the tool store and ask for. The place also has a fully decked out lunch bar/diner, fully licensed clubrooms (with bar) and even a place to take a shower when you are done!!!

Oh, and a special mention HAS to be made for Roger, the guy that runs the place. He is one of the nicest blokes I have ever met in the autom/otive industry, bar none. Srsly, the guy is so easy to chat too, has no problems with getting in and lending a hand if needed, is quite knowledgable (one of his daughters runs australia's fastest altered, not to mention the myriad of sponsorships he has with various forms of motorsport around the traps) and also has some of the BEST stories I have ever heard about shennanigans of days of yore. (I recommend asking him about the austin repowered with a volkswagen engine, purely for shits and giggles)

So, the place is awesome, the guy running the show is even awesomer, and he is providing a service we all need.

Went to school with Michelle :) His other daughter was my personal trainer :P Very nice family, I know all his daughters and have met Roger before. Very into their sport, Michelle is a bigger rev-head than most blokes I have met :P Would definitely give him my business!

Saw this advertised at my old work. Looked like a f**king sick idea.

What's the hourly rate for a bay like yours (hoist)?

Keen to know what the prices are like as well teehee.gif

Ask and ye shall recieve :P

Oh, and its my experience that these rates "may" be a guide only, as when I recieved my bill, lets just say that I was WELL looked after :thumbsup:

      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 🍻
