I'm after a specific noise but i have no idea where to look - everyone thinks i'm nuts when i try to make the same sound....

Just cup your hands over your mouth and make a 'pssshhht' noise - or a 3-Stooges 'woo-woo-woo' when asking for it at Autobarn. Makes life more fun for others :D

While you're at it... repeat after me: "Luke, I am your father"

thanks SRG33 :( - too bad the site doesn't have what i'm after...

jamezilla - lol, i already tried that, they all think i've lost the plot!

The BOV i'm after sounds like an angry pigeon on speed.......if that makes sense to anyone..... :(

What type of brand BOV is it???

i've got the SSQV on my car, which is ok, but the whistling starts to get to ya after awhile....

grandmaster - sorry mate, i dunno what brand it is, if i did it'd make things a whole lot easier......my mate reckons it could be the SARD R2D2 - can anyone try and describe what sort of noise that makes?

Angry pidgeon on drugs?

I think it is a "type S" (Greddy i think).

A type S makes a high-pitch whistle noise at the beginning, 1/2 sec later the frequency comes down and fades out. Lasts about 2.25 secs depending on settings. could b an angry pidgeon??? hahahaha

    • 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 🍻
