50km/hr is a hard one even due to accuracies of speedos too.. my speed is out about 10km/hr most of the time, and I just have to guess. But spend $100's getting it fixed and calibrated? just to prove some arbitary limit that somebody has said that makes something safe?

Most of you will probably find out your speedos are within about 10%.. which makes the line between 55 and 50 so tiny, even when you are obeying it properly.

nice rant cyrus!!!!

The problem is guys it is all about money (as we all know) if it wasn't there would be a s*&t load more red light cameras and RBT's. It is easier and cheaper to set up a nice little van on the side of the road and leave it rather then set up a RBT near pubs. better yet if they honestly wanted to save lives why not have a cop wait outside the pub before people get in their cars and offer a RBT with no risk of fine (as long as if they are over the limit they don't get in their car). But no that would lose to much money.

Here is an observation for you, last year I was pulled over twice for an RBT (no issue with that as I totally agree with RBT),but that was only twice out of 365 days of driving and yet I saw at least one speed camera a week, now the unfortunate thing is I don't know one person that has a serious speed related accident but I have lost a couple of friends due to drink drivers. I would love to know the real stats on fatalaties but as far as my personal experience DD is a lot worse then speeding so why not put more money there.

      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 🍻
