Ah Righto, no good for a cruise?? Well scope it out and see I guess.

The road to broke looks like a 1 lane situation too. I suppose sat Arvo will be one o the busiest times so today will be a good test.

Nah should be fine, one of the better roads close to newy I have driven

Its a f**king animal!!!!!! Was nothing wrong with it, was just me being paranoid and i think i got used to the standard pull to 5k, opened it up to 7k today for the 1st time and FFFFFFAAAAAARRRRKKKKKKKK, that just about explains it.

and the new rad has taken 15 degrease off my water temps i was sitting around 95 now im at 80-85

Not this one man! You want 6 puk at least! I spoke to Jim about that one the other day breifly....

Plus clutches like that don't have a power rating, too many variables so people just pick a number, although 400-600 isn't uncommon for a JB clutch lol

Also, in urgent need of a Respray on my bonnet, like before Friday, anyone got any hook ups that do a mint job without costing a million $??

Nah f**k that I am trying to stay stealth :)

I'll ask Ant....

yeh on that stealth view, im going to get a hard pipe FMIC kit, and get all my pipes sprayed gloss black, so all i will have is a black engine bay with the red twin turbo and the red engine cover should look sick

Wow,

Just had a very eventful evening.

Got my full licence and decided to celebrate!

So I took the S15 for my first proper drive with it on the street. Felt so good. ....suffice to say got a few strange looks when I hit the brakes (metal on metal on the rear).

But could not wipe the smile off my face! Felt good being able to drive a turbo FR

Also just waiting on the rear brake pads to come in then the brake install will be ready to go!

Whos in for a convoy to wakefield for the SauNats?!

Im looking at you

have you been peaking in my enigine bay? - exactly the look i'm going for!

Thanks Wedge,

What sucks is that since the 10 month hiatus from having a non turbo FR, I've readjusted all my habits to suit the FF layout in the '90 corolla (which has no power steering), so getting used to the whole FR layout again in a turbo car is a bit of a steep learning curve.

The S15 has about 100rwkw as everything is stock, but I feel it has enough power to be a handful. That said, even though I got a 1:19 lap time at Wakefield first time driving the car, in all honesty, I think I have a lotttt to learn which is why I need to be very careful for the first year or two.

    • 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 🍻
