Hey Wreckedhead? was that you at EC last night? white 32? plates J**T?

if so!! congrats on the run!!! looked friggin awesome!! one of the guys captured your run as well! hehe... i could see you were extremely happy when you drove back to the lineup and met up with your mate!!!

congrats again!

we were all jumping for joy, doesnt bother me who was driving, the car ran a good pass, and untill i get it caged i cant go back, hopefully in a couple of weeks ill sort it out and head back for some more runs

The quicker your car runs, the more "safety" objects the car needs. Hence the cage for sub 11's, parachute for 140+mph etc.

LOL!!!! no kiddin! : i know the purpose of a rollcage.. and a parachute for that matter! he was implying he wouldn't take his car down the straight till it had a rollcage, but i just was wondering why it was then ok for his mechanic to drive and not him!

Heh sorry for the confused reply, I guess if you don't own the car you're not going to treat it with mechanical sympathy.

The majority of drag strips in Aus operate under ANDRA, and their rules stipulate the safety devices for cars running certain times. If they know your car does xyz time and it doesn't have the gear on it, they won't let you run.

hey Moanie i didnt have a choice, after my mechanic run the 10 sec pass, my car was banned from the track till i get a roll cage, i wanted to race it but couldnt.

and Doughboy you completely right, when i sit in my car and im on the line waiting to launch, all im thinking about is "what happends if the clutch blows or the diff pops or gearbox breaks, then im ****ed so i treat it with a little sympathy" but my machanic has no such feelings and slams everygear like mother****er not loosing any boost in gears.

but ill get my chance in a couple of weeks to run my 10 if im a good enough driver, its just a shame i didnt get to run the car with the gas.

    • 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 🍻
