G'day all,

I have been lurking around the forum here for a while now, reading and researching bits and pieces, and thought finally that I should create an account and contribute.

I am in the process of buying an R32 GTR, which is quite a change for me as I have been a V8 man my entire life. I am looking to start a bit of club level racing, and my beloved 6.0l SS just won't cut it around a race track!

Any who, looking forward to contributing to the club and learning a bit more about the 'dark side'.

Cheers,

Matt.

Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated,

Here is my current pride, my 2008 VE SS. Up for sale at the moment to make way for the GTR.

Although, the market is overflowing with these cars at the moment, so I'm not exactly fending people off with a stick... The longer it takes, the more convinced I become to keep the SS and just have the GTR in the shed too. My wife would throttle me though, I'm sure.

Hello,an welcome love the pick in your sig.

Come to the robbo cruise will be great fun. :action-smiley-069:

Hi Humbla, thanks! The robbo cruise? Is that the one on 15/9? I think I saw something on here about that, I'll hopefully have my GTR by then, so I may just come along. Thanks again.

Welcome. When you get the GTR and have had it for a while (novelty worn off) it would be great to hear your comparison with the VE. I agree with Luke, don't ask the missus just buy it. Feign ignorance of her disapproval and profit.

I'm looking forward to seeing the difference between the two. From driving the GTRs I have taken on test drives, I can already see that the SS has got much longer legs at top end, but the GTR seems to get up and boogie a little quicker. I'll have both cars for a period of time, so it'll be good to do a proper comparison.

      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 🍻
