Hey ppls.

Some people may know about my plans, other probably not.

I am looking at making up replacements for the standard R34 GTT wing mounts.

hopefully these will be the same as the GTR so that I can make them for both.

Anyway, I've finally got a sample to look at (Thanks to GTTR34) and I must say I'm both impressed and terrified.

Impressed becuase they are sexy from an engineering point of view on the inside, but terrified at the work I have ahead of me to make the damn things.

I've taken some pictures of the wang and it's mounts to show you the anatomy of it, both for wow factor and general interest.

SO, check the photos.

You can see that the mount is actually 2 pieces.

The inside section has the studs which attach to the boot. This also is the strength of the thing. You can see the long barrels and webbing. This bolts in the boot and the underside of the wang.

The outside section is almost purely cosmetic. It attaches to the wang via two screws in the top of it. There are no screws in the bottow.

You can see in the underside of the wang that the bolts go in on two difference planes.

I was hoping that it would be just one plane and easy to reproduce but boy was I wrong.

What I was thinking was going to be an easy meausre up, model and produce is going to be a lesson in thinking that you can do it better than the manufacturor!

Anyway, where theres a will, theres a wang and I will not give up. It just might take me a little while to come up with something.

I hope this is interesting to all.

I actually just had a thought about the thing.

I could somehow make up a mould of the underside of the wang, and then transfer that into a casting pattern and cast the top section in aluminum.......

hmmmm

Two Reasons.

One, to get the wing right up there in the air flow for Snowy so he can get some bonafide downforce from his standard GTR wing.

Two, Looks. I like the aluminum uprights look.

Three, Looks. I also like the look of the boot on a car who has removed the wing but still has the lower mount brackets in place. Looks 'race'

Also, I need another Group buy to play with.

      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 🍻
