I saw OBEHVE at calder last night..... what a monster!! Black R33 GTST

What is its best time??? i have done a search and it seems like a well known car but couldnt find a consistent time....

A young guy was driving it but it looked like he couldnt get the power down for a while, but when it picked up, christ did it move!!!!

I saw under the bonnet, looks like BIG dollars have been spent on it.....

Yes OBEHVE is a monster and no it wasn't written off ages ago....I know this 'cause the owner has a few things done at ATP where I get my car worked on. If fact the GTR rear wing on my car was originally OBEHVE's.

The young guy driving it hasn't had much experience with the car running the figures it is atm so I wouldn't be surprised if it was sideways 1/2way down the 1/4!!! The owner of ATP often gets to drives it down the 1/4 'cause he can keep it straight :cheers:

yer, the owner doesnt actually race it @ calder. I've had a chat to him a number of times. He seems to be pretty cool. Been running on and off for 6 months or so.

It runs a big auto :thumbsdown:

Personal opinion... do it in a skyline... do it with a manual

Ash......yeah mate he isn't a bad bloke. The car used to be a manual but when it started pushing 300+kw at the wheels it was impossible keeping her straight thru 2nd and 3rd gears......the solution was found by fitting a manual-ised auto box. Apparently she stays very straight thru the gears under full noise now :P

wtf are you on about?

Ya ant, but manual is half the fun of the skyza!

I must say though, i dunno how all these people are sideways in 2nd with 220-250rwkw when they come on boost or whatever.

i certainly aint with my car if i do a tidy gear change from 1st to 2nd.

Ash.....I know how much fun the manual is...I own one :P

Mate your car isn't putting out enough torque if you can't get sideways with the mods you've done......I had my car dynoed a couple of weeks ago and I'm getting sideways in 2nd and 3rd gears. Also thats with no gear change, I was in 3rd and hit the loud pedal thru the floor = soooo many Nm.....

mmm... manual :P

you guys must be running some dodgy tyres or something i reckon.

i made 275kw @ race pace, drove home without a problem. As long as i dont go silly in 1st, 2nd was a breaze, and the car has a pretty phat graph. So it's not as if its only making power in 1000rpm.

I can get it sideways if i pop clutch, or just keep it sideways from a hard launch in 1st, but anyone can do that. Im talking 2nd, from 20km/h or so.

I get a squeal of tyre, but certainly not slide-ways.

Hrm. Once i get it back again (turbo spat a bearing) we'll see how it goes with more road "testing" ;)

Ash is this the turbo you got at a special price that shat itself??:D

LOL hasent it only done about 3000km??

Was this the backyard leb spec turbo special??? :(

I made 255kw @ 1 bar at racepace and if i go from 0km/h in second and floor it mine will wheel spin from 4000rpm to 7500rpm with 255 rear tyres. At 1.4 bar its even worse and 3rd gets slidy also.

denham. sh*tup you keyboard warrior. honestly, get over it will you.

there are many things that can cause a turbo to fail that fast.

maybe use your keyboard to find some of them? U seem to use it a fiar bit

Ash I dont need to use my keyboard as my turbo not blowing up for over 10,000km says it all :)

Only thing that can cause a brand new turbo to fail so quick is that it was made badly in the first place or you had a oil/water problems causing the bearing to fail from getting too hot

lol. you've got no idea. There is a massive amount of things.

do your homework before you throw you keyboard around.

      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 🍻
