Guys,

Just wanting a bit of feedback regarding the events held at DECA on the weekend. Due to the overwhelming response to run another event and whilst it's still fresh in everyone's mind we'd just like to know what you enjoyed most on the day so any future events can be planned accordingly.

Can vote for more than one option.

:(

I loved every damn second of the weekend!

I think if there had of been lights on the skid pan, I'd be there all night!

Loved it.

Bring on the next one

i can get you some lights for next time ,if you want, if i come. i work at kennards hire in bayswater and i think we have 8 x 1500 watt flood lights and genarators to run them. The boys at work said someone from skylines australia came in to get a walking measure just after i left. too bad i missed ya. Sounds like you guys had lotsa fun..!

Even though I liked the lot, I was not the biggest fan of trying to change from forward to reverse (and back). It seems to me like that could brake the gearbox easily if you get too exuberant with it.

I'm much prefer to have all the 'khanas completed in the forward gears.

I liked it all particularly chaps laps, except the last session which was pointless and had no specific motorsport value. I'd rather give the volunteers a shot at the courses again rather than waste time like that. They deserve it.

getting into reverse in the 6speed s15 is a pain - takes some of the fun out :)

lets just do it in forward gears ;)

It just adds another level. This event was practice for a similar event that will be in dutton, so I wanted to practice my reverse J turn. Promise we will never have more than one of these, but it did have some underlying value for the four of us who are competeing in Dutton this year.

All in all thou. I loved all the events.

i agree, reverse does add another level. crunched a few gears tho... chaps and essendon were both great because they were so different.. witht the sweeping last turn of essenden i think all the rwd boys had a ball.... one big drift; where as chaps was a bit more technical. i think the last free session would have been better with the whole pan rather the divider but i totally understand the idea of splitting it so we had more time on.

For what it's worth I actually for the one with the reverse my favortie one of the day. Basically 4 handbrake turns, a reverse flick and lots of getting the power down with a huge stop - all whilst racing someone else. I thought it was tops.

I actually found the stop - go the hardest part on the car but we had to have that from CAMS restrictions.

Anyways - thanks for the feedback. It seems a pretty even spread of enjoyment which means people enjoyed the whole day.

Which is why you want to hand brake 180 into the box, and come out in first gear =p

loved every single aspect, only thing I'd change is more shots at the short wang course and less time arsing about at the end

Keep the reversing maneuvres, even add more in - it's just another facet to car handling and that's what motorkhanas are all about!

      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 🍻
