Semi slicks, check.

Full tank if fuel, check.

Raised suspension to not foul tyres, check.

Boost controller, tomorrow.

Nearly all systems go for sutton.....

Woooooooooooo hooooooooo

Yes spaces left. Send the form and money today and you'll be fine.

There is no extra cost for the CAMS license other than the actual cost of the license (eg it costs you no more to do it on the day, but the license cost still has to be paid)

So it turns out i can't afford it at the moment, which sucks epic....

hopefully you guys get a good turn out and we'll be able to do another one in the not too distant future.

I might still come out to spectate a little bit though, maybe.

Scott, don't worry so much! You'll live longer :D

There is a slow lap at the start where everyone goes in single file at a slow pace so you will be familiar with the track.

By mega power, I'm talking 420rwkw and upwards. I'd expect you to be in 2nd or 3rd for the whole run (of course with the exception of 1st at 7500rpm for the launch at the start)

Also that crest is like any crest you see in hilly parts of Sydney, for example the big one in Greenwich. You're not encouraged to go flat out over it and by doing so your time will be slower anyway so stuff that. If it's really bothering you I'll take you to it in the morning before runs start and drive over it myself with you in the car to demonstrate it's perfectly harmless when common sense is used :)

What are you talking about Steveo?!?!

I'm worried that I (a) WON'T get air and (b) won't get in to fourth gear.

If I don't get into at least 3rd gear with my 310awkw I'm going to be devastated. And I will only be launching at 1250 rpm in first.

I'm very familiar with that crest in Greenwich in fact I know someone who got monster air off it, crashed and now has monster metal plates in him. Retard.

Car is still being tweaked as I type this so it can't get much more prepared than that (assuming I get it back in time). Bring it on!

So lets say I want to enter. I can fill out the form and fax is etc, but what about payment?? Even if I transfer it first thing tomorrow chances are it won't appear in your account by the end of the day. Cash on the day ok???

Yes bring cash on the day... make sure it is the correct amount, we don't have oodles of change!

Brakes bled see u ladies there

What's with the early night bludger?

I've just knocked off, wrecker motor in the car, seems to be running OK. Thanks to Mark and the boys at Hills Motorsport for putting on some late nights to help get it ready.

See y'all on saturday

kept half asking Steve tonight if we ended up with the numbers to do another one of these things, sure hope so.

He would then burst out in laughter at some ribald joke someone or another had made and im pretty sure half of Canberra had to hear us giggling away as we drank the only pub for miles dry of all its finest lager.

Good times folks.

and i havent even turned a wheel in anger yet..

    • 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 🍻
