So what car(s) are we looking for Duncan when Roy comes over to watch the video I taped.

I remember now the Beemer killer was a brunette.

Hint: It's listed under her name :Oops:

"The faster you are going the less time there is to concentrate on actually learning to drive."

I agree totally with this. I learned more about the track in two slow laps in the rain than the whole 200k I did in the dry at full pace.

Snowman / Roy - If we were to get anything going with the Dutton we would need to make moves (decisions) in that direction very quickly. Money to spend on the car is my problem and a small sponsor would help. I can come up with entrace fee, but would like to spend more on car to become competitive with the R34 and others. But at the end of the day I would be there for sure.

Christ, did someone actually get one of those understeering, too short, breathless barges to go well enough to enter an event?

I hear europe got a suspension package that fixed the handling, but I hated the local hatch I drove. BTW I realise they call them a coupe, but it's a 3 door hatch OK.

Anyway well done Kel. We'll be taking a long hard look.

I also understand Kero (Fats brother) has a cd copy now after some thread searching. Mine is also welcome to be borrowed but is taped at 1/4 speed so you may need my video which is a permanent wife accessory for lifestyle programs.

BTW - Roy - what happened with you and Chris and the Dutton? Or is that to be discussed based upon results of your R32?

Its a possibility, but its a little too late to get sponsors, i could get my hands on enough money to do the event, but would have to pull out of a commitment i have already mate to a crew with a team for the BP Rally the same wekend.

I think it may be best to wait fot he PIARC day later that month, may even have some new brakes to be sure not to fall off the island. :Oops:

Oops sorry Kel posting the *slight* off pic. Didn't mean to put that one up.

That's okay, you'll also see me killing a witches hat in the Speedweek coverage :Oops:

For the record though, that pic is of my co-driver Dan.

Not sure how useful we'll be but happy to let anyone entered in the Vic Dutton pick our brains (well, maybe I need to revise that reference since Fatz was on the team!).

My main tip- if you're not going to win, do something spectacular!

Chrisman...LOL...welcome to SAU :)

Id like a few photos for my own archive, but for hopefully obvious reasons i hope you appreciate why id rather not have pictures of the car on a public forum... :(

Kel, what punishment was there for Majanal emulating Fatz in the 350Z? I think you should have taken his beer rations away from him :)

      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" 😉

      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 🍻
