Hi folks... What a great it was today... drove my father in law down to Melbourne to pick up my new R34 fresh from the importer in my Stagea as he was gonna drive the Stagea home... I noticed on the way there he seemed and little carefree or a little too relaxed or stressed or something but i was way too excited to get my car so didn;t pay much notice... Anyway, picked up my car drove away from the importers residential address and out onto the main road, look behind me and my stagea has just pulled over along with another car, i knew something bad had happened.

Yeah bloody oath, my father in law has flown out of the street straight into traffic without looking and the car he should have given way to has swiped the rhf side of my car killing the guard, headlight, bonnet and worst of all the front bar which is a Dayz body kit from bar. I am f**king pissed off and call my missus who tells me she knew it was a bad idea....

Anyway, I'll be able to source the guard, bonnet and headlight no worries but does anyone have any idea where I am going to find a Dayz front bar? I'll post up a pic incase anyone has one or knows of one, or even has something similar that is gonna match up with my side skirts.

contact Japanese import spares here in Adelaide. they have 3 front Dayz bars, 2 white nd one blue i think. u may need to get in quick though. asking around $560 or something for them.

Oh this is all good news. I had no idea how popular the Dayz was, having never seen another one in my travels. Just gotta wait to see what Shannons insurance will do for us now as far as how soon they can fix it.

Not sure if you noticed but all series 2 stageas have days side skirts so even a stock bumper will match, but since the insurance is fixing it that won't really matter I guess.

I do have to say though, I applaud you for not killing your father in law, I defonately would have. Or at least made him pay for all the repairs and not put it through insurance.

Yeah I think he was a bit freaked out by Melbourne traffic. Personally i love it, i remember driving into Melbourne as fresh faced 18yo the day i moved there and just loved hooning around ever since.

Guys and girls, some of the posts here have been hidden and/or modified, but not deleted, (as per the request of RSFOURDayz) due to the seriousness of the situation here.

Let's hope it all works out for the best, and thankfully nobody was injured or worse.

    • 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 🍻
