I will keep an eye on any beers (if its an open invite :) )

My car is off to Nathan @ Newcastle Dyno tomorrow for a tune and boost controller! Not expecting numbers much different than standard but hoping to get a mid range improvement.

pm sent.

My car is back from the panelbeaters.

Will post some pictures of it tomorrow. It got stock rear bar, type M pods, s2 spoiler and roof spoiler installed / sprayed. Also front bar sprayed.

Also bought the next lot of crap for it too... venom cat, varex and prosport gauges / din triple gauge mount.

The lowest point of my car is 95mm off the ground, which is the dump. Looks like the 5" body cat is going to hang even lower. Kinda wish I had coilovers right now :/ Might have to add that to the list of things.

As soon as the varex and cat are welded up and the gauges in I should have enough spare for my new wheel setup. Enkei RPF1 17x9 +22 w/ Federal 595 255/40r17 :D

yea all good mate, sounds good...

hopefully i will still have my car... thoughts of selling have been cropping up again, but probably not untill the new year at this stage.

Whaaaa..... I hope your still not thinking of selling!

is a requirement for your new car the colour yellow? :)

nah not a requirement, but i wont rule it out...

still thinking about what i want, if i want 1 or 2 cars etc... test drove a c63 amg yessterday... was fairly impressive, sounded great, alot more comfy than i thought so would be fine for a daily... and had abit of balls, though i didnt have much room to really test it out.

I am in love with it at the moment. Cant wait to get the engine bay and wheels done though. Then I will do a proper photoshoot on it. Cant wait!

Looks good man!

how much?

is this for me??

they were advertised for mid 80s... but i rekon you could get a pretty good one for mid 70s... more than i want to spend, so i may need to re access and maybe look at it next year when work is more steady... would still cost less than my current situation though! and i rekon the c63 with the same tyres as my gtr would probably be quicker on the track... probably not with me behind the wheel though, they are meant to be a handful, but alot of fun ha.

Got my GTR back over the weekend with PFC fitted and tuned, its a different car!

What I expected the GTR to be like in the first place, its only making 238kw (standard injectors running out) but seems a lot more responsive.

On a side not I am considering swapping/selling the bbs lm wheels instead of painting, I dont suppose anyone has a standard set of r33 GTR wheels they want to get rid of? :) I'll post something in WTB later but hoping for something local!

What size are the BBS rims and are they a one or two piece rim?

2piece 17inch lm073 in gold

If anyone has anything pm me to save hijacking general thread

any reason why you want to go back to stock wheels? you can fit nice big wheels in your guards similar to the 34 gtrs ha. bigger wheels, bigger tyres, better grip :)

Yeah that thought has crossed my mind but anything aftermarket look strange at stock height (IMO). I am still deciding if I want it lowered :)

I am not sold on the look of the BBS wheels, I suppose I would consider something like volks as a swap +cash either way but that would lock in coilovers to lower it.

    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
